[Michlib-l] Disaster Outreach Listserv

[Rebecca Karlis]

After the massive flooding in Metro Detroit I wanted to alert colleagues
that there is a Disaster Outreach Listserve for librarians available at the
national level that provides tips and tools for addressing disaster events.


Some of the tools include website code repositories for building sites to
report and address broken infrastructure.

For example:
"*National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has placed code on GitHub called
GeoQ:https://github.com/ngageoint/geoq. Emergency managers can use this
code to build customized maps of a disaster area, and allow citizens to
upload photos of damaged areas in the community. In this way, the people
experiencing the issues are directly alerting their local government to
problems that require attention."

Best,
