OSM for Emergency Services

Posted by MyTopTechs on 3 November 2017 in English.

Open Street Maps for emergency services.

One of the issues to be dealt with during a tragedy is mapping information. When you setup emergency shelters, or if you are setting up mobile command centers it is important to share that information with everyone so everyone knows where resources are located.

I think that OSM can fill that gap for real time mapping updates for a changing situation.

Wondering what everyone else might think about that as well.
