Free and Open GIS Tools for Anticipatory Action and Disaster Prep.
summary
Open mapping Hub Asia‑Pacific uses OpenStreetMap, QGIS, InaSAFE, OpenRouteService, HOT Tasking Manager and MapSwipe and a Field Mapping Tasking Manager to collect exposure data and combine pre/post imagery for damage counts, producing evacuation time maps by foot or car and hazard‑overlaid risk models. Projects in 25 countries map building footprints in a day or two, then convert results into an atlas with early action protocols and online dynamic maps — outputs used by partners and local communities to trigger anticipatory actions.
