Crisis Mapping

Crisis mapping is a process that involves collecting and visualizing real-time information during emergencies or disasters, such as natural disasters or humanitarian crises. It uses data from various sources, including social media, text messages, and reports from on-the-ground volunteers. This information is then mapped to show the location and severity of issues like injuries, damage, or resource needs. Crisis mapping helps organizations and responders understand the situation better, coordinate their efforts, and provide timely assistance to affected communities, ultimately improving response effectiveness and saving lives.
