Since arriving on September
7th GMA has defined the type of maps required
as being 'disaster response for the people
returning home' and not 'disaster assessment

Global
MapAid, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, was formed with
the aim of supplying specialist maps
to humanitarian decision makers at all levels, predominantly
in slow onset disasters such as famine, but also when necessary
in rapid onset disasters such as a flood. GMA is intent upon
supporting aid efforts by assisting
in the provision of mapping and corresponding communication
systems for humanitarian organizations. Maps are detailed
of nature and will include population,
food security, AIDS, refugee and famine data.
Feedback
We
realize the work in Indonesia is important, but we must NOT
forget Africa either. This would represent a loss of integrity
on our part. If you strongly feel that your donation should
go to one region rather than another, please notify us by email.
If you would like to follow the serious GMA adventure, and
be added to our emailing list please send us a blank email with
the words 'GMA reporting please' in the subject header and
we will add you to our list. We promise NOT to flood you with
emails.
Thank
you.
