The following events will have centrally located tables where you will be able to donate. If you are able, please find a table to donate money and/or supplies from the approved list of items.
MAP-athon
Wednesday, October 11, 1-4 p.m.
Hosted by Stony Brook Libraries
Melville Library North Reading Room Learning Lab
Come help out relief efforts on the ground in Puerto Rico and other disaster areas, via open-source mapping. All you need is your laptop and a free moment next Wednesday. Following recent disasters such as the hurricane that struck Puerto Rico, people around the world are using the OpenStreetMap platform to give their time to hurricane relief efforts.
The Red Cross in Puerto Rico has set up digital mapping tasks through which those on college campuses and elsewhere can pitch in with ongoing relief efforts. During the mapathon, we will teach people the mapping work that needs doing, then we will map together.
No mapping experience necessary. No knowledge of local terrain is necessary. Come any time during 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm. Please bring your laptop!
This event is organized by Stony Brook’s Center for the Study of Inequalities, Social Justice, and Policy; the Geospatial Center at the School of Marine & Atmospheric Sciences, & Stony Brook University Libraries.
