Hodson finds how an online army helped health workers responding to an Ebola outbreak in Guinea that had no maps. When doctors working for Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) arrived in the West African nation of Guinea last month to combat an outbreak of the deadly Ebola hemorrhagic fever, they found themselves working in an information vacuum.

CRIMP: Here crisis mapping goes offline
Journal of Network and Computer Applications, 2019Abstract Online Crisis Mapping Systems (CMS) are de facto tools to facilitate disaster response, although they may fail to work during the initial days of large-scale (Level 3) natural disasters, because of the unavailability of Internet due to the breakdown of existing communication infrastructures and the power-grids.

Map-Mediated GeoCollaborative Crisis Management
2005Managing crises requires collecting geographical intelligence and making spatial decisions through collaborative efforts among multiple, distributed agencies and task groups. Crisis management also requires close coordination among individuals and groups of individuals who need to collaboratively derive information from geospatial data and use that ...

Mapping seismic risk: the current crisis
Natural Hazards, 2012The seismic risks to which populations are exposed should be estimated reliably for mitigation and preparation of response to disastrous earthquakes. Three parameters need to be known: Population numbers, properties of the built environment, and the seismic hazard.

Dynamic boundary crisis in the Lorenz-type map
Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2013Effects of the slowly varying control parameters on bifurcations of the equilibria and limit cycles have been previously studied in detail. In this paper, the concept of dynamic bifurcations is extended to chaotic phenomena. We consider this problem for a Lorenz-type map.

Crisis Mapping and Crowdsourcing in Complex Emergencies
2021Crisis mappers secure satellite imagery, photos, video, event data, incident data, and other documentary evidence to create an operational picture of a disaster in order to facilitate improved humanitarian response and assistance in a crisis. The era of human-powered crisis mapping between 2009 and 2014 was a bootstrapped effort very ...

Early Crisis Induced in Maps with Parametric Noise
Physical Review Letters, 1996In this paper a new type of crisis in random maps is studied. The trigger of this new crisis is the tunnel effect induced by a backward tangent bifurcation. This is different from the formerly reported crises caused by the collision of the chaotic attractor with an unstable orbit. The reasons why the characteristic time of this new crisis is super long

Rapid Population Maps for Crisis Response
2010Population numbers are crucial information in the aftermath of a natural disaster . Questions like how many people are affected, how many survived and how many would need prolonged assistance are key issues for crisis response and reconstruction. However, information and accurate figures on where people live and population characteristics are not ...

Analysis of map graphics on the special maps for crisis management
2011This research discusses the proposal for standardization of cartographic symbols on the maps prepared for use on monitors for early warning and crisis management. In the research questionnaire were used, with the participation of cartographers, experts on crisis management, students and other citizens.
