Missing Maps

Missing Maps is an open, collaborative project in which you can help to map areas where humanitarian organisations are trying to meet the needs of people who live at risk of disasters and crises.

We will meet as a group to target a particular area to map i.e. part of a refugee camp, and together we would aim to map the features of this map so that it can be sent to checkers and then subsequently used by a variety of organisations to further aid and communications in these areas. Initially we will be limited by missing maps as to the scale and complexity of the areas we will be mapping but as we spend more time doing this we will be enabled to tackle higher level tasks. This can be used as part of your volunteering for Duke of Edinburgh or simply to hone your GIS skills.
