Title: Facebook's digital maps that help with disaster relief
Post by: SSH Shamma on December 25, 2017, 11:34:46 PM

In June, Facebook announced a new product called "disaster maps," using Facebook data in disaster areas in order to send crucial information to aid organizations during and after crises. The information helps relief efforts get a bird's eye view of who needs help, where, and what resources are needed.

Facebook disaster maps provide information about where populations are located, how they are moving, and where they are checking in safe during a natural disaster. All data is de-identified and aggregated to a 360 square meter tile or local administrative boundaries. Good initiative.
