Workshop on the Role of Crisis Informatics in Disaster Management: The Case of Nepal Earthquake
Kahtmandu, August 9 2015

Coordinator, HOT/OSM Activations

OpenstreetMap Response - 2015 Nepal Earthquake


The role of HOT in Disaster ManagementInterface between the OSM community and the humanitarian organizations

Flexible coordination with the UN Agencies, international organizations and GIS teams - We adapt rapidly to the particularity of each region and disasterQuick response to support the first responders The BaseMap (road network and villages outline) is the first priority

Imagery Acquisition, Process Hosting: Support from Imagery providers and HOT volunteers

Imports,Tutorials. Validations

Define Tasks with partners, monitor progress

Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team

Haiti, Congo, Mali, Central African Republic, South Sudan, Philippines, Ebola, NepalMostly remotely with the international organizations and local OSM communities to assure the follow-up with the field teams. More and more GIS field teams are familiar with OSM.

- Haiti 2010 Training UN Teams in Haiti

- Dr Congo 2012 A volunteer assures the interface with OCHA in Kinshasa

- Philippines 2013 OSM Philippines assures the interface with the Philippines Gov and the field teams

- Ebola 2014 CartONG GIS specialists assure the interface in the field with MSF

- Nepal 2015 Kathmandu Livig Labs interfaces with the Nepal Gov and the field teams, orgainzes Training sessions


Coordination Room via Skype was effective a few hours after the earthquake a few hundred participants

Kathmandu Living Labs was operational in the second day of the Response

Coordination of the mapping response


Pre Disaster: Bing Imagery available for most of the area. HIU provided an image to complete the coverage

Post-Disaster: Activation by the International Charter Satellites re-oriented to quickly provide new images

With the bad meteo of the first week, only images of Kathmandu valley were cloud free . OSM did quickly locate the informal camps from these images.

Support from DigitalGlobe, AirBus Defence & Space, HIU (US State Department), MapBox, Google

Imagery acquisition, process, hosting


Google CrisisMap to monitor imagery


Pre-DisasterKathmandu valley was already traced by Kathmandu Living LabsDay 1: Highway Network, mountain paths

Day 4: villages outline, buildings, Helico landing

Day 7: Place names

Post-disaster

Day 4: IDP Camps Kathmandu valley (2 days)

Day 11: IDP camps, damaged villages outside Kathmandu (jobs progressed slowly and are not completed)

Objects traced by OSM contributors
- gray: previous mapping by KLL of Kathmandu and the major highways
- green: contributions from april 25

Statistics of OSM Contributions

For the first week, an average of 1 million objects edited / day and 1,000 contributors daily
In comparison, 1 million objects for the first month in Haiti, jan. 2010


Long tail of contribution
The first 500 contributors contributed to 75% of the edits


4,850 contributors (68% of contributors) participated only one day. They contributed to 10% of objects edited.

The people that contribute 1-2 days are the less experienced, with often less then 10 changesets (nb of OSM edit sessions)
Experience (Nb of edit changesets): Classification similar to Pascal Neis but with less categories

Prior to the earthquake, the Nepal OSM community added 48,000 km of roads. From Apr.25, the international OSM community and various support groups contributed adding an other 60,000 km to trace unclassified roads, tracks and paths in the remote areas.


Imagery providers reacted quickly and delivered post-disaster imagery daily. But Weather conditions limited access to images of quality

OSM Maps & Services A complete solution is available instantly to respond to emergencies

The HOT Tasking Manager let's coordinate simultaneous contribution of hundred of people

17 millions objects edited in 6 weeks more then for one year of Ebola response

Observations / Lessons learned


Media coverage and organization of various mapathon brought an unprecedented number of new / unexperienced contributors

Imagery / Tasks monitoring tools should be enhanced to support major Responses

Validation problems where often mentionned. Follow-up of Mapathons and Adapted Learning material to develop

OSM priority is to provide the BaseMap and the Map & Services necessary for the various field teams and GIS specialists.

A workflow should be developped with the Post-assessment agencies for more complementarity, OSM supporting them primarily with the basemap needed for assessments comparisons.

Observations / Lessons learned
