Sudan Road Access: Logistics Cluster : Help humanitarians deliver aid in Sudan – Citizen science
juli 1 - november 30
The Zooniverse’s Planetary Response Network needs your help to map floods in the Sudan — check out this project: Sudan Road Access: Logistics Cluster.
The Zooniverse’s Planetary Response Network is partnering with Logistics Cluster, which is part of the cluster system established by the UN’s Inter Agency Standing Commitee. Logistics Cluster is helping to coordinate humanitarian aid work in Sudan, and one of the biggest barriers they face is flooding during about half the year. Sudan is criss-crossed by dry riverbeds that are not yet well mapped, and during the rainy season they intermittently and unpredictably flood the network of roads used by humanitarian organizations to deliver key supplies and aid across remote regions. Our first task is to complete the map of road-riverbed crossings over the large area of interest for humanitarian aid in Sudan. Once we have a full map of all the potential flood sites, we will know where to focus our monitoring efforts during the rainy season, which is just starting. Sudan is big, so we need your help to find dry riverbeds (called “wadis”) along roads and measure the size of the crossings.
