- Class Notes:
- This seminar will examine crisis mapping.
- Class Description:
- Hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, disease outbreaks, conflict. All of these types of crises have benefitted from humanitarian mapping during the last ten years. Advances in open source GIS software, open data, volunteered geographic information, and social networks allow individuals and groups to participate in humanitarian crisis response on the ground and at home. Information communication technology such as smartphones/tablets, GPS units, cellular networks, and ultraportable laptops allow responders to map data in the field and immediately share it with others. Those responders willing to help from afar may use tools such as OpenStreetMap, Quantum GIS, the Ushaidi Platform, or Google Crisis Response to map critical infrastructure. These data can be accessed by field responders in real-time to facilitate and coordinate humanitarian response. This seminar will examine crisis mapping through three modalities. First, students will participate in the University of Minnesota's Humanitarian Crisis Simulation event on September 11-13, 2015. The simulation is a 48-hour experience designed to immerse participants in an environment typical of humanitarian crises. Seminar students will serve as the crisis mapping team during the simulation. Second, students will participate in classroom discussions about crisis mapping topics and attend guest lectures by individuals who participate in humanitarian crisis mapping projects, including Humanitarian OpenStreetMap, Google Crisis Response, the Metropolitan Emergency Services Board, the National Center for Food Protection and Defense, Humanitas Solutions, and the School of Nursing. Finally, students will write a research paper or develop a technical project examining an aspect or aspects of crisis mapping.
