This UN-ASIGN application has been developed by AnsuR for crowd sourcing geo-tagged photos and text from areas affected by larger humanitarian disasters to the United Nations entity UNITAR/UNOSAT. Seconds after you send a geo-tagged photo it will be available in a map at the receiver side.

The input of in-situ visual information will help UNOSAT assess damages and situations from satellite imagery in particular and will help various entities in the UN-system conduct operations. Selected images and data provided via this application will be integrated into professional on-line mapping portals and will normally be made available to the public.
