Greetings from the "
Big data, big opportunity" conference, at the Australian National University in Canberra, where
Christina Griffin is speaking on "
Open access spatial data for effective disaster risk reduction". She is emphasizing the use of
open street map for dealing with disasters in developing nations. While crowd sourced mapping data has limitations, it is better than no data at all. She is studying vulnerability to disasters in central Java, Indonesia. It happens I helped with the deployment of Sahana open source software for the
2006 Yogjakarta Earthquake in Indonesia.
