EUROSHA Project in KENYA
Managing humanitarian information through a
voluntary, open-source and open data approach
with the Sahana and OpenStreetMap projects
The EUROSHA project
EUROSHA = European Open-Source Humanitarian Aid Volunteers
Funded by ECHO and implemented by a consortium of 9 European NGOs.
Participates to the European Commission’s general aim to create a European Volunteer aid corps
Aims specifically at training and creating geographic information (3W-Who, What, Where & baseline data) thorough the open-source tools and open data approach of the Sahana and OpenStreetMap projects
The EUROSHA project
- Training 26 European and African volunteers to the Sahana andOpenStreetMap information management tools and techniques- Deploying these volunteers during 6 months in 4 Africancountries (Chad, CAR, Burundi and Kenya). Hosted by a partnerorganization, the volunteers lead these activities:
1. Collection and edition of geographical information useful for crisis preparedness
2. Capacity building by providing training to organizations and communities interested by the approach
3. Promotion and outreach
For the benefit of the hosting partner organization as well as the whole humanitarian system (including the local authorities) and the local communities
6 volunteers (4 Europeam and 2 Kenyan)
Hosted by PIPA (People in Peril), operational referent for the project, in Molo
Administrative support of the volunteers by France VolontairesInternational (FVI)
Technical support (on field and remote) by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) for the creation of baseline data ala OSM and scaling up a local OSM community
Remote technical support by the Sahana Foundation for the 3W data
.

A web project to create a free and open map of the
entire world, built entirely from volunteers surveying
with GPS, digitizing aerial imagery, collecting and
liberating existing public sources of geographic data.

Data Primitives in OSM
Node : basic elementLatitude & longitudeUsed for POIs
Way : ordered interconnection of nodesUsed for linear features
Closed Way : first and last nodes of the way identicalUsed for areas
Relation : group of any primitives with associated rolesUsed for relationships between objects and abstract objects
Tags/attributes
If the tagging system is fully flexible, allowing anyone to create new keys/values, it is strongly recommended to use the already existing, debated, approved and described tags so that the OSM data remains consolidated as much as possible.
The OSM tags can be found on the wiki : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features

Web Maps: Walking Papers
Combined, GPS and Walking Papers
can be used for rapid surveying and
ground truthing.
Walking Papers allow users to print
out small sections of the OSM map. In
the field, these paper maps can be
used to draw new features, annotate
existing data, and take notes that will
help with the import of GPS data.
Icons in each of the corners and a
unique code for each Walking Paper
let users scan the paper and upload to
OSM so the notes can be viewed in
an editing environment.

The analysis shows that, where OSM was collected
by several
users and benefited from some quality assurance,
the qualityof the data is comparable and can be fit for many applications.
The positional accuracy is about 6 metres, which is expectedfor the data collection methods that are used in OSM. Thecomparison of motorways shows about 80% overlap between
OSM and OS .

Support materialsData models (tags/attributes)
Les données attributaires OSM sont stockées sous forme d’une paire associant une clé (key) à des valeurs (values).
Le système de tagging est complètement flexible, permettant de créer des clés et de nouvelles valeurs ad hoc selon les besoins.
Il est néanmoins recommandé de s’appuyer quand c’est possible sur les tags déjà existants pour assurer une compatibilité de la donnée OSM.
Le détail du système de tags OSM (clés/ valeurs) est accessible sur le wiki à cette adresse : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features

Sahana
• Non-profit organization – supported by global community of volunteers
• Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for humanitarian purposes
• Mission is saving lifes through developing free and open source software that enables organizations and communities to better prepare for and respond to disasters
• Supports the humanitarian geo-spatial data model used by OSM which allows Sahana to import and export POIs with OSM
Sahana first deployed to Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004
Since the Haiti Earthquake• Eden software was first deployed for disaster responses purposes following the 2010 Haiti
earthquake for public use and also to support a the food distribution programs of the UN World Food Programme.
• Since the Haiti earthquake, Eden has been used for the following disasters by individuals, organizations and governments:
– Wildfires in Chile – 2012
– Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan – 2011
– Flooding in Colombia – 2011
– Flooding in Venezuela – 2010
– Flooding in Pakistan – 2010
– Hurricane in Veracruz, Mexico – 2010
• The following organizations also adopted Eden:
– Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) for its Disaster Risk Reduction Projects Portal,
– IFRC Asia Pacific Disaster Management Unit,
– Sahana Taiwan (Academia Sinica)
– Supports Healthscapes at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
