Abstract

From the onset of the Ebola crisis, high resolution satellite imagery were used for digitizing roads, villages and towns, and to support base mapping of most affected areas. MSF’s GIS unit requested the support of hundreds of volunteers of the OpenStreetMap community to manually digitize small subzones. The digitized data are available to be downloaded and used by GIS officers to support MSF work in the field with thematic maps as well as tailored base maps.
