#MapPokfulam: System Prototype Demo & Testing Workshop
Sunday March 8, 2-4pm
Old Restaurant, Main Street, Pokfulam Village
The “MapPokfulam” Project develops a online platform for information exchange to facilitate the safety of residents and villagers in the case of an emergency. The first step of this process was mapping the village using the free and open source mapping platform Open Street Map. Please join us for a demonstration and testing of how to make a report using the Ushahidi platform and give your feedback as to the utility of the system and what else needs to be included in the map and the system itself. Check out the prototype at http://map.pokfulamvillage.com/
