OpenStreetMap is a web project aiming at creating a map of the entire world, accessible, free and downloadable for anyone. It has been started in 2004 by a student from UK.

What is OpenStreetMap?www.osm.org

It is based on the joint action of thousands of contributors working voluntarily. Anyone can participate. +150,000 users created more than 2 billion nodes as of today.

The ongoing OSM contributions can be followed on http://live.openstreetmap.fr/

OSM focuses on all the visible, physical objects like: roads, buildings, land uses, facilities (health, education..) shops, industries, water and sanitation, natural spaces... but also not visible like administrative boundaries or transportation lines.

OSM does not store information about populations or sensitive data.1

Mapping any feature existing in the field, visible or not

OSM is a free map, not submitted to political constraintsExample in China where OSM has no random offset

Idea (same as Wikipedia): A large number of individuals contributing together will tend to create high quality data.

Free mapping and quality

Validation tools within editor

Different kind of practises and tools strengthen this:

Quality control tools over an area

Easy access to each step of the history of every object

Easy access to all the contributions of every mapper

Possibility to revert any bad contribution

Quality assurance in OpenStreetMap:validation tools for users within the editors

History

1The complete history of every object is accessible

History1It is possible to know what has been updated recently over an area

History1It is possible to know who are the active contributors in an area

Port-au-Prince on OSM,28 days later

Within a few days, the response of the OSM community to map the affected areas has been intensive, as seen in this video.

Free mapping and open data, a new humanitarian field

Humanitarian/Development organizations

A NGO has been created in August 2010 to create a bridge between the community of OSM contributors and the humanitarian and development stakeholders.An organization working to promote the use of open data and volunteered geographic information within the humanitarian and development contextsThe Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team activate a response to quickly provide baseline data to the humanitarian stakeholders.

The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team also works or worked on field projects in Indonesia (AusAID), Haiti (USAID), Senegal (IOF), Burundi, CAR, Chad, Kenya (DG ECHO), in order to both create baseline data and build up local capacities by training future trainers to OSM techniques.

OSM Community Mapping in the Lower Shirehttp://hot.openstreetmap.org/projects/osm_community_mapping_for_flood_preparedness_in_malawi

From late July to late September, a team of 3 HOT contractors will carry out a project in Malawi whose main aim is to achieve a Community Mapping Exercise for the Lower Shire, tin the two flood-prone districts, Chikwawa and Nsanje. The objectives are as follow: Hold a series of meetings and training sessions on open data and community mapping, engaging government Departements, university students (especially from the Polytechnic School in Blantyre), NGOs and civil society

Apply the training by collecting geospatial data in the field in the two most flood prone districts of Malawi (Chikhwawa and Nsanje), edit and upload it in partnership with the OSM worldwide community that has already shown it huge impact when mapping on imagery or editing field collected data with Field Papers

Explain how to host the data on the Malawi Open Spatial Data Portal (MASDAP) and use it effectively, especially by holding a training on the INASAFE tool to perform contingency planning with the OSM data, as already made elsewhere, especially in Indonesia

Identify and support community mobilizers to ensure sustainability of the outcomes, and make the community autonomous, able to update and enhance the OSM data, use it when crisis arises, and link with the local disaster management authorities and the OSM worldwide community.

InaSAFE Introduction

InaSAFEis a free software that produces realistic natural hazard impact scenarios for better planning, preparedness and response activities.

Conceptually InaSAFE combines one exposure layer such as buildings with one hazard scenario such as flooding and returns an impact layer along with textual statically summary

Realistic Disaster Scenario informing Contingency Planning


InaSAFE Concept
