Description

Patrick Philippe Meier:

"I’ve given many presentations on crisis mapping over the past two years but these were never filmed. So I decided to create a video presentation with narration in order to share my findings more widely and hopefully get a lot of feedback in the process. The presentation is not meant to be exhaustive although the video does run to about 30 minutes.

The topics covered in this presentation include:

• Crisis Map Sourcing - information collection;
• Mobile Crisis Mapping - mobile technology;
• Crisis Mapping Visualization - data visualization;
• Crisis Mapping Analysis - spatial analysis."
