11-30, 14:30–15:00 (Asia/Seoul), Gallery 3

The Open Mapping Hub Asia-Pacific's Disaster Services Project aims to support, assist and connect the local OpenStreetMap communities and partners in the disaster management sector, particularly through disaster mapping-related activities using free and open source tools to increase resilience and reduce impact through data-driven decision-making in all stages of disaster phases. This poster is a 2-year review of what has been accomplished in the project and the impact of the hub in becoming the go-to open mapping data provider for the disaster management cycle of several local/national emergency management agencies and local government partners.
