Team up to decide how best to treat several snakebite scenarios from around the world. After, <b>snake expert Andrew Durso</b> from the University of Geneva will guide us through the answers & tell us a bit about the snakes of Switzerland.
Increase in access to mobile phone devices and social media networks has changed the way people report and respond to disasters. Community-driven initiatives such as Stand By Task Force (SBTF) or GISCorps have shown great potential by crowdsourcing the acquisition, analysis, and geolocation of social media data for disaster responders. To make social media information suitable for emergency responders, these initiatives face two main challenges: (1) Most of social media content such as photos and videos are not geolocated, thus preventing the information to be used by emergency responders, and (2) they lack tools to manage volunteers’ contributions and aggregate them in order to ensure high quality and reliable results.<br>
This presentation illustrates Crowd4EMS a crowdsourcing platform developed under the EU project E2mC: Evolution of Emergency Copernicus services. Crowd4EMS combines automatic methods for gathering information from social media and crowdsourcing techniques in order to manage, aggregate volunteers’ contributions, and ensure reliable for emergency responders in disaster management.
