Time to pull out an old friend of a tshirt to celebrate this network of humanitarians, civic tech, research, and business. It was the spark of so many ideas and friendships. Do you have your tshirt or a story to share? @CrisisMappers

The Russia-Ukraine Monitor Map is a crowdsourced effort by @Cen4infoRes and the wider open source community to map, document and verify significant incidents during the conflict in Ukraine.

Seeing a sad turn of events as the situation in Ukraine has escalated. The mapping done by our team at @Cen4infoRes and the wider community is now verifying and logging more events inside Ukraine of shelling, bombings and other events. Here is the link: https://t.co/QwQrTWsmBF

In the aftermath of #HurricaneIda2021, Direct Relief & @HarvardChanSPH are analyzing population movement data in coordination with @Facebook to understand where people might go, post-storm, & where aid is most needed now @crisisreadiness https://t.co/a6pilaMLuX

On crisis mapping - why are maps of crises in the 'global south' more widespread? Who gets to define crises? Where are the maps of white supremist uprisings in the US @mapmakerdavid #DecolonizeTheMap #decolonize #osm

Humanitarian organizations are increasingly turning to drones to support disaster response efforts. Yet many fail to use this technology effectively. Check out this peer-reviewed online course to learn why, and how to avoid these failures https://t.co/PydiyLEDga

@PatrickMeier For sure - we talked with FEMA about doing error analysis of video collected after an earthquake to previous survey data like aerial LiDAR or oblique ortho to detect and quantify structural damage. This was for the recent Puerto Rico earthquake. We weren’t far enough along then.

HOT is honored & humbled to announce that our community has been selected by @TheAudaciousPrj & will receive support to map an area home to 1 billion people at risk of disaster who are not currently on the map. #Audacious2020 #TED2020 https://t.co/KLa5LEULnn
