Wikimedia in humanitarian contexts
Key message[edit]
Wikimedians are engaged in humanitarian contexts in multiple ways — both online and on the ground —
and interested in coordinating with others active in this space,
especially Humanitarian OpenstreetMap, first responders and entitites engaged in disaster prevention
Key question[edit]
How can we coordinate better across wikis and languages around current, past and future disasters?
Background[edit]
OpenStreetMap at the junction between on-the-ground and digital responses[edit]
What Wikimedians do[edit]
or fake remakes
What is unclear[edit]
How are Wikimedia platforms being used in humanitarian contexts (before, during and after disaster events)?
How could Wikimedia platforms be used (better) in humanitarian contexts?
How can the Wikimedia and OSM/ HOT communities collaborate and align their efforts better?
Who is interested in helping improve Wikimedia platforms for use in humanitarian contexts?
