Wow! the experience our trainees got from us day before yesterday was awesome. The training was coordinated by our well experienced and a professional Mr Sunday Victor who is currently a Cordinator of UNIQUEMAPPERSTEAM, Nigeria. Trainees were trained on how to select a task and carry out mapping of a disaster areas using Task.HOTOSM. The trainees equally learnt some basis of GIS and Remote Sensing during the training which make them even became more excited as the training became a fascinating one. I took the advantage of the training and mapped out some areas prone to disaster and other environmental hazard in Nigeria and my heart was full of joy. Therefore I humbly thank the openstreetmap founder for creating a platform that has become a major tool for geospatial data generation which helps in responding to disaster and Lessing the impacts of it across the world.

UNIQUEMAPPERSTEAM UNIPORT, NIGERIA MET WITH NIGERIA RED CROSS ON A MISSION TO SIGN THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING IN ORDER TO COLLABORATE WITH THEM IN PROVIDING GEOSPATIAL DATA FOR THEM.
Posted by Edward OJ on 11 August 2018 in English.God thank you for a successful outing today. At least Unique Mappers Team international, Uniport Chapter Nigeria was able to meet and established the memorandum of understanding with Red Cross Humanitarian Response today. Our activities became relevant to them due to the fact that most of their activities can not easily be done without the Geospatial data. We as Unique Mappers team specializes on generating geospatial data, by creating accessibility maps, displaying areas vulnerable to disaster such as flooding, fire disaster, oil spills etc and making those affected places and victims of such disaster to be seen globally as well as to enable the quick response which in long way helps in mitigating the negative impacts on the affected persons or communities.
