Description
[This is a Community Service under Community GO]
Disasters around the world kill nearly 100,000 and affect or displace 200 million people every year. Many of the places where these disasters occur are literally 'missing' from any map and the first responders lack the information to make valuable decisions regarding relief efforts. With computers and internet connection, volunteers will compare satellite images and add buildings and roads to a shared online map that will be made available for all humanitarian organizations worldwide.
現今科技一日千里,但許多發展中地區在地圖上仍然是一片空白。由於缺乏比較精準的地圖,許多人道救援組織都未能及時了解這些地區的人口和建築物分佈,以致難於掌握災情及策劃救援行動。義工可按在家中,參與繪製數碼地圖,透過衞星圖片尋找建築物,將這些消失的國度重現於地圖之上,為國際救援作好準備。
