OpenStreetMap's Role in the 2013 Jakarta Floods
summary
Crowdsourced OpenStreetMap data is collected with university students and local urban village leaders to map 267 urban villages and key infrastructure like schools and government offices, then printed as maps for village offices so non‑computer users can use them. When Jakarta floods in January 2013 the prebuilt map layers provide base data for situational awareness and help a disaster agency that is physically inaccessible; the same data underpins loss estimation and supports a training team of eight Indonesians.
