		<description><![CDATA[Following my thoughts about being mapless in Gaza, I wanted to follow up on the work of UNITAR-UNOSAT, who have made the leap from the more basic satellite images that they used to provide, and are now regularly providing damage assessments. Their analysis of postwar damage in Georgia was very interesting1 and now they&#8217;re producing [...]]]></description>

While the news from the Middle East may be depressing as hell, it has provided a stimulus for Open Street Map to improve their spatial data for Gaza. Jon has done a comparison of existing online maps, showing Google Maps to the initial winner &#8211; although OSM are [...]]]></description>

Focus is on satellite imagery and its future uses by the humanitarian community in monitoring natural hazards, climate change and health. If you&#8217;re around London, it should be interesting &#8211; plus, free lunch! Come on, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jesse Robbins and Mikel Maron spoke at Where2.0 on Disaster Technology. Streaming video is a bit of a non-starter on my shonky internet connection, but both of these guys have an interesting take on the sector. They&#8217;re both technology evangelists, but minus the utopianism that makes my fists itch. A platform like Where2.0 is fantastic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So it all kicked off in Myanmar this week, except that it didn&#8217;t, because the military regime has managed to bungle the response to Cyclone Nargis. We could get into a long discussion about the whys and wherefores, and there&#8217;s some frightening talk about the &#8220;right to respond&#8221; over-riding sovereignty, but let&#8217;s stay focused on [...]]]></description>

Pirates are no laughing matter, but all this map lacks is a big X to show where they buried all the WFP food shipments they&#8217;ve been hijacking. I have no idea how this post provides any insight [...]]]></description>
