  1. Using Geospatial Data to Map Haiti’s Hazards & Development Progress HaitiData.org facilitates open access to Haiti-related geospatial data and information, providing tools to view, upload, download and share. BBL Presentation, 28thJune, 2011 Contact: mford@worldbank.org

  2. Empowering Data Use • Following the January 2010 earthquake a large amount of data has been produced • Site responds to need for data sharing for improved analysis & decision making • Strong link to the Open Risk Data Initiative (ORDI) – encouraging sharing of risk data for improved risk reduction, policy & action • Open source software, open standards, focus on providing good quality metadata - for sustainability

  3. Why Open Risk Data in Haiti Open data means: • More people can view, use, critique, analyze, model • Explore critical assumptions; test methodologies; generate insights • Lower barriers to collaboration & knowledge-based decision making • Increase innovation, learning, motivation amongst teams Open data can increase the amount, quality, and speed of exchange of information, and enhance the goodwill to share and innovate.

  4. HaitiData Features • Explore maps • Create maps • Search and Download data • View and download metadata • Upload data • Link to development partner information • Link to hazards analysis • All features in French and English Live Demonstration: http://haitidata.org

  5. Use Case: Vulnerability of Shelter Residents to Flooding & Landslide Hazard Steps: • Explore created map • Add additional layers – e.g. to help build understanding of exposure to hazards • Zoom to view detail • Download data for quantitative analysis • View the metadata – to review who made it, when, how, why… for analysis and follow up. • Upload your own data to create a new map syntheses • Link to development partner information or hazards analysis to find more info’

  6. Next Steps • Present, engage, with CMU, SMUs, TTLs • Engage stakeholders in-country • Develop data management approach and rollout plan • Transition to Government Ownership • Continue improving mash-ups and adding quality data sets • Work with the community and other developers to develop features and robustness of platform • Develop user ‘Help’ guides • New deployments in other countries

  7. Feedback & Discussion
