このコンテンツについて
What if all the data needed to respond to a humanitarian crisis already existed — but was scattered, siloed, and hard to use?
In this episode of 15-Minute Maps, I’m joined by Saïd Abou Kharroub, a GIS specialist turned information management expert, former CEO of Civ API, and current board member of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT).
Saïd’s dream map isn’t a single map at all, but a one-stop, layered view of the world’s crises — aggregating data on conflict, displacement, funding, infrastructure, population, and satellite imagery into a single, accessible platform for decision-making.
We discuss:
- What information management really means in humanitarian contexts — beyond tools and technology
- Why decision-making often struggles to connect field realities with available data
- How aggregating existing datasets can unlock faster, smarter responses to crises
- The role of APIs, open source data, and platforms like HOT and Civ API
- Why better data doesn’t replace human judgment — but strengthens it
This episode is a deep dive into how data becomes information, and how information becomes action — especially when lives are at stake.
