Notes de l'éditeur
Maps have always been political and social – they are storytelling devices. How can open maps be used in times of crisis or in conflict? What are some of the lessons?
The Crisismappers Network is informal, self-organized and global. Member include citizens, governments, research/academic, companies, open source organizations and almost every sector related to conflict and crisis informatics. The community often uses open source culture, tools and methodology

There have been a number of crisismaps used in South Sudan. From Satellite Sentinel to Ushahidi. Many projects have been done by researchers, governments and civil society groups. What are some of the lessons from each of these.

The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team [HOT] applies the principles of open source and open data sharing for humanitarian response and economic development. Our staff and community have mapped in many conflict and post-crisis zones. As well they have active mapping projects in Indonesia, DRC, CAR, Haiti and this week Bosnia. Last November HOT activated in response to the Typhoon Haiyan. This resulted in over 1000 participants (local and global), 1 million + edits, partners like American Red Cross, MSF, UN OCHA. And, a revised open map.
