Hi Mappers! Some of you may recall me from my WSP Missing Maps Mapathon days which I've moved on to more grass-roots activities in Jinibara Country. I'm currently completing a United Nations Fellowship where I'm looking at organising a local initiative in relation to SDG 11.5 and community resiliency (particularly on topic with all the flooding events up here recently!) where I thought holding a Mapathon would be an engaging way to raise community awareness.
I've had a chat with Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) who are keen to look at putting up a project which I have the following questions: * HOT will require a project host organisation which typically would be a local OSM Chapter * We've identified that OSM Oceania isn't currently on their list * Is this something we could look into? * Has anyone else in this group been involved in any disaster management/community resiliency/risk reduction initiatives? * I'm also working at my local neighbourhood centre where we're developing a community disaster management network and handbook so keen to hear thoughts * Anyone else based in the Blackall Range/Sunshine Coast/Brisbane/Noosa region interested if I were to set something up? Thanks!
