HOT Mapping for Nepal

As many of you likely already know, last weekend 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 map 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 help each other learn to use the Task Manager and edit in OSM.

Bring a laptop! And check out this blog post from HQ (http://maptime.io/blog/2015/04/27/help-HOT/) to get a head start.
