Bartholomew Shares Base Maps with Map Action in Time for Cyclone Response
Map Action is the well-known mapping NGO that coordinates mapping and GIS functions in response to disasters. Just before the recent Nargis cyclone in Myanmar Collins Bartholomew, publishers of the Collins and Times world atlases, decided to share its base data with the organization. That meant that “Within 24 hours, aid agencies had access to an accurate 1:5,000,000 map – enough detail to identify cities and vital infrastructure, such as main roads.”
