Many of the places where these disasters occur are literally 'missing' from any map and first responders lack the information to make valuable decisions regarding relief efforts. Missing Maps is an open, collaborative project cofounded by the American Red Cross. It aims to put 200 million people "on the map" by 2021 - mapping areas where humanitarian organizations like the Red Cross are trying to meet the needs of vulnerable people. Due to current disasters and rapidly-changing needs, the November 15th Missing Maps tasks will be identified on or around November 1. http://www.missingmaps.org/ https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=4cffca29bb6b36ce&q=geography&l=Portland,+OR&tk=1cprsvs5227uf801&from=ja&alid=5a8c2a0a2e7c67f68f0f7da7&utm_source=jobseeker_emails&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=job_alerts&rgtk=1cprsvs5227uf801
