Missing Maps February - Mapping Roads
Details
This month we'll be discussing how to map roads. Please come and bring your questions!
What Missing Maps is: To do their work, first responders (like the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders) need maps of both buildings and roads, to know where people are, and how to get to them. However, most of the world isn't mapped! To help out, we'll look at aerial photos and will draw in the roads and building outlines that we see.
No experience is necessary! We’ll do a quick tutorial. All you need to bring is a laptop (though a charger and mouse are also suggested).
Space is limited, so please officially register with the American Red Cross at the following link so we can get an accurate headcount. (It's only a one-page form, so once you press 'Submit', you're registered!)
