Why is simple … OpenStreetMap has demonstrated incredible value in Haiti and we need to make sure we are prepared for the long run there, and for future disasters. A couple weeks ago, Nicolas and I started digesting the Haiti response, and years of thoughts and discussions in OSM, into something like a plan.

OSM Project Haiti. Beginners guide. This Beginners' guide will show you how to add data to OpenStreetMap.
Tutorials are available in many languages which you can select from the table at the top of this page. You need a computer connected to the Internet and some time to gather information and then enter it. A GPS unit and connecting cable are purely optional, but will be required if you want to collect data that way. Given the excellent aerial photography available in the editors these days, a GPS is less important than in the early days of the project.
Create a free account so that you can contribute. The data you add to OpenStreetMap improves the free world map for everyone, whether it's a small correction or thousands of roads added over time. There is a panel on the right of every page of the tutorial. Next. iMapHaiti. Tasks and Ideas - OpenStreetMap.

Humanitarian OSM Team Deploying to Haiti : This weekend, Nicolas Chavent and Robert Soden will deploy to Haiti for the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.
MapAction and OCHA are facilitating this mission, with generous support from the European Commission Humanitarian Aid Department — many thanks to MapAction and ECHO for helping to make this happen. Nicolas and Robert are a dream team for this work, adventurous and passionate map makers. They are joined by experienced MapAction volunteer Chris Philips. Broadly, the mission is to support use of OpenStreetMap on the ground in Haiti within groups of UN and international responders, the Haitian government, and Haitian civil society. In other words, make sure OpenStreetMap stays relevant and useful into the recovery, reconstruction, and, most crucially, long term development of Haiti. They won’t be going in alone, but with thousands of mappers globally ready to back them up. This pioneering trip has emerged from several threads. The preparations have been intense.
