On Nov 3rd, The Red Cross will hold their second Missing Maps Mapathon at UC Libraries in 475 Langsam from 10 am to 2 pm. The information collected from a Mapathon helps the Red Cross identify the best locations to bring in emergency supplies, where to house emergency operations and what local resources they can collaborate with in emergency response efforts. In order to participate, you do not need extensive mapping experience. The maps are creating using the Open Street Map platform and you can learn quickly by watching these training videos (1. Create an Open Street Map account, 2. Learn to map buildings).
If you are interested to participate, please register here – https://goo.gl/forms/b2sAl9zlS4ajSklg1 and watch the training videos. A Pizza lunch will be provided for attendees. Please bring a drink or refillable water bottle. This is a great and fun way to get service hours if you need them.
Please contact Amy Koshoffer – ASKDATA@UC.EDU if you have questions about the event. More information is provided in the attached flyer.
