On May 19, 2025, we successfully held the workshop Post-disaster mapping with OpenStreetMap and JOSM, in Brazilian Portuguese, promoted by the company IVIDES DATA and the group of young Brazilian mappers, YouthMappers UFRJ, and given by Séverin Ménard, from Les Libres Géographes.
Recommendations and demonstration videos are also available in the guidelines section of the Mayotte’s projects on the HOTOSM-TM.
The methodology used by SeverinGeo is based on the BAR Methodology, from the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative (HHI), which has been adapted for mapping with OpenStreetMap and the Java OpenStreetMap Editor (JOSM), with the development of a map color style, customized for this project.
We thank those who were able to attend the Live!
