MapAction

MapAction are supporting the #MyanmarEarthquake response. Read our live blog for updates. Our team is an embedded @unocha.org Disaster & Assessment Team partner, but we still need to fund the mission. PLEASE SHARE AND HELP! mapaction.org/myanmar-thai... #skyhumanitarians #skygis #skymaps

Map showing most affected regions of Myanmar, showing shake intensity and 2 epicenters of earthquake.

This map shows shake intensity and two epi-centers for the #Myanmar #Earthquake. This map can help emergency response coordinators to:
a) gain a quick overview of scale of situation
b) identify where greatest aid needs likely to be.
For more maps go to mapaction.org/myanmar-thai...

MapAction has deployed in support of the #Myanmar #Earthquake. Follow progress, see some of the maps, or support the team here - mapaction.org/myanmar-thai...

In the wake of the #earthquake affecting #Mynamar and #Thailand, @mapaction.bsky.social
has received an Alert Check from the UN and will deploy imminently. We will need more funds than we currently have in order to attend and provide life saving maps. Please give if you can - mapaction.org/donate/

Great to see you back Leon! Looked like productive meet ups in other regions too.

Over the Christmas and New Year period, MapAction teams provided remote support to the earthquake in Vanuatu, Cyclone Chido in Mozambique & Malawi; and to UNHCR and the ongoing refugee crisis in Syria/Lebanon. Read more below.

Whilst we are new here, and introducing ourselves, you might find the short animation on this page helpful.

A lot of people are surprised by the scope of our work, as we have come a long way in twenty years. Will you be?

Over 100 Followers in under 24 hours - thanks everyone! Bluesky seems a very friendly and engaged space.

We will start posting mapping and humanitarian items soon.

Are there any humanitarian, GIS, data science and other related starter packs that you would recommend?

Hello Bluesky Humanitarians, Geographers, Cartographers, Geospatial, IM and GIS folk (and anyone else who knows us).

MapAction has come to see what is going on.

Normally we try to arrive at events a lot earlier than this. 😀
