Disasters

When a disaster hits, such as an earthquake, pandemic or conflict, Wikidocumentaries may be useful for making sense of the information. Here are some random thoughts that can be added to and elaborated over time.

Complementing disaster mapping

  • HOT OSM Tasking Manager data may be good to present in Wikidocumentaries. Possible places include the main map for browsing data and all maps displaying areas of interest. They should be displayed by default, because no-one will look for them behind menus.
  • OSM and Wikidata are powerful together. A linked geographic item makes available loads of information that can be used by the aid workers. These should be identified, and made into campaigns.
  • Display external data and ingest. Identify what and how to store, how to visualize and make available. For example earthquake data: What is important?
  • Enhance geographic data
    • Add administrative areas and link to OSM
    • Add English labels

Data in general

  • Link topics in a way they can be found and visualized. Identify missing visualizations.

Images

  • Identify related images, tag with SDC, make a campaign.
  • Tap into news image sources that might allow open licensing. Do they exist?
  • Create 3D mashups from geolocated photos. Make photo contribution campaign for images prior to a disaster.

User contributions from the ground

  • Identify the needs.
  • Geolocating

How can this help save lives

  • Gather and visualize information from several sources to highlight crucial hazards, existing structures, historical data.
  • Translate information. Articles should be automatically translatable on-the-fly from any language.
  • Make available information from news sources in some way.

Wikipedia

  • Make use of analyzing rapidly evolving Wikipedia articles to identify important topics.
