The Libya Crisis Map Information Flow

Organizing and working remotely with almost 400 volunteers all over the world is not an easy task.

In the Libya Crisis Map deployment we activated almost all the teams, with the exception of the SMS team, because there is no SMS short code or phone number connected to the platform.

Here is how the teams interact with each other and how the information goes from the cloud, to the platform and from there to UN OCHA.
