The HOT Activation Working Group focuses on developing and proposing procedures, workflows, tools, and other items for management of HOT's disaster (or, crisis) mapping. We collaborate with the goals to increase participation in mapping and activation coordination, supporting local OSM communities during disasters, and connect with the humanitarian stakeholders to better meet their needs and make the data most useful and easy to use. During activations (or, disaster mapping) this group also serves as a place for those involved to discuss, coordinate and plan. Everyone is encouraged to become involved; especially if you want to contribute to coordinating disaster mapping during a crisis - this is the group for you!
