HKN Mapathon
On April 12th, HKN will be kicking off our third Map-A-Thon! This year we will be working to create maps of communities to improve public health responses and preparedness in Southern Kenya. This work will assist humanitarian aid and public health organizations like The Kenyan Red Cross with disaster preparedness and response. Over the course of the year, our goal is to contribute 50 mapped satellite tiles.
If you wish to participate our projects can be found at: https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/12421, https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/15507 or https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/15510. Contributing can be done in three easy steps
- First create an account by following this tutorial
- Second Learn how to map Tiles by watching these videos
- Finally log in and start mapping projects 12421,
15507or 15510 on tasks.hotosm.org found here,hereand here. (Project 15507 has been fully mapped by HKN!)
After you are done mapping let us know what tiles you have mapped by filling out the form at go.ncsu.edu/submittiles. Filling this out will help us keep track of our goal and will be used to determine who receives recognition for being our top mappers of the event. The form will stay open until the end of the day Wednesday April 17th*.
Potential Inductees: Every 30 minutes you spend mapping with at least one tile per half hour you submit will count as half a service credit. For example, spending one hour mapping at least two tiles would count for a full service credit.
