OpenStreetMap progress in Port-au-Prince

25 Jan 2010

Just a very quick note to the video posted below, which shows the impressive response by the OpenStreetMap Community to the terrible earthquake last week in Haiti. I also attended the short talk of Mikel Maron at #geomob last Friday, where he again praised the response by OSM to the earthquake, and how OSM has become the defacto clearing house of spatial data for the disaster relief efforts.
