Haiti: CrisisMapping...
summary
A rapid public release of 8 cm imagery within 26 hours plus UAV and commercial satellite feeds lets volunteers tile imagery and digitize roads and buildings, producing tens of thousands of edits from about 1,000 OSM editors. An SMS gateway and social feeds funnel messages that 10,000 diaspora volunteers and 300 trained geolocators translate and map, yielding GPS-ready maps used by UN, military and rescue teams and directly enabling people to be located and rescued.
