HumaniNet used a Meyer Memorial Trust Grassroots Grant to develop mapping tools that can be employed in humanitarian relief.  In the photo above, humanitarian relief managers are participating in a humanitarian relief exercise in a northern Thailand village in November 2008, using a portable satellite terminal to send information on the simulated disaster to a volunteer team in Portland, who posted it to a Google Map.  Relief managers can use these tools to review critical real-time information to coordinate and deploy responses anywhere in the world.
