Sharing spatial data to rebuild a region

A session at DjangoCon Europe 2012

Monday 4th June, 2012

1:30pm to 2:10pm (CET)

When a disaster strikes, several institutions create all manner of different datasets. These datasets are eventually released without any clear guidelines and missing vital metadata.
The purpose of this presentation is to bring to light the use of spatial data sharing software built on django to enable different relief agencies share spatial data. This presentation highlights the tool's use during the Eastern Africa droughts.

There will also be a brief outline on how the same platform has been adjusted for risk modelling.
