ReliefWeb Haiti maps tiled


ReliefWeb provides lots of UN maps of Haiti as PDF documents. Displaying files in this format could be difficult or impossible on some mobile devices. The links below may work better although they still require javascript.

I have now provided all the Haiti maps we scraped from the site, however the ReleifWeb is of course the connanical source for updates to these maps and newly added maps. It also has many other maps from around the world. Also we only extracted the first page from each PDF. All of these things can be improved upon (particularly if it were hosted and run by ReliefWeb)

Technical details

Tiles were created with a few bash scripts and calls to imagemagick convert and googletilecutter. They are presented using OpenLayers or Web Maps Lite (JavaScript interface)

Download the scripts (~6k)

See ReliefWeb review image extraction for more details. That's an editable wiki, so good place to suggest ideas related to this or further the development

This work is all part of Crisis Camp London. You can help! come along one Saturday!
