HOT Mapping for Nepal

As many of you likely already know, a few days ago Nepal was hit with a magnitude 7.8 earthquake. The natural disaster has shattered temples and homes, and left thousands dead or injured.

What can you do to help? In addition to donating to your favorite relief effort, you can help Humanitarian Openstreetmap Team (HOT) (http://hot.openstreetmap.org/) to remap the area.

Haven’t ever done a HOT task before? That’s ok, this is a perfect opportunity to learn! During this session, we'll team up with CUGOS (http://cugos.org/) to support the relief the effort in Nepal through HOT.

Bring a laptop and a mouse! And check out this blog post from HQ (http://maptime.io/blog/2015/04/27/help-HOT/) and this introductory quick video (http://mapgive.state.gov/) to get a head start.
