Today, we recognize World Malaria Day, highlighting global efforts to combat this devastating disease. Among the frontline organizations in this fight is Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), which tirelessly tackles malaria and many other diseases worldwide. A critical component of successfully managing healthcare in remote areas is access to reliable maps. This ensures that healthcare providers can reach even the most inaccessible locations where permanent roads are absent. To aid in navigation, MSF coordinates the Missing Maps project to enhance the OpenStreetMap. You can explore their projects on our service, Disaster Ninja: https://lnkd.in/dYvRejeY Additionally, you can support the improvement of maps for healthcare projects using the HOT tasking manager: https://lnkd.in/duisZTEx Let's express our gratitude to the MSF medical teams for their dedicated efforts across various health challenges, and help enhance their mapping resources for ongoing projects.

Today, we join the global community in celebrating Earth Day. Amidst the hustle of daily life, it's crucial to remember that Earth is our shared home, a nurturing abode that sustains life. Yet, our actions have exposed our planet to risks—our activities contributing to climate change, evidenced by the increasing frequency of natural disasters. At Kontur, our platform, Disaster Ninja, https://disaster.ninja/ diligently tracks ongoing disasters, revealing their alarming regularity worldwide. This is a stark reminder of the urgent need for change. Recent years have seen several frameworks adopted, including the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and targets for 2050 aimed at a sustainable future. These, along with other local initiatives, are steps towards securing a safer path for humanity. We at Kontur are committed to empowering these efforts with our technology. Soon, we will be launching Kontur Atlas, a platform offering insights for businesses and an evaluation of environmental and climatic factors. This tool also allows you to assess the impact of climate change on your life, business, and community: https://lnkd.in/dJaFA7uT Join the Kontur Atlas platform to explore the state of our Earth with us. Let's care for our planet; it's the only one we have. #EarthDay #Sustainability #GIS #ClimateChange #DisasterManagement #Kontur Source of the image: World Trade Organization/Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (WTO/CRED)

In the wake of unprecedented flooding in the United Arab Emirates and Oman, our thoughts are with those facing the aftermath of this natural disaster. The downpour, the heaviest ever recorded in the UAE since records began in 1949, has caused widespread damage, challenging the resilience of communities and infrastructure. At Kontur, we are committed to aiding those affected through our disaster management application, Disaster Ninja. Leveraging the NASA Global Flood Model, our software has identified areas of significant risk, with an estimated 12.1 million people, 2.32 million households, and $1.33 trillion worth of infrastructure potentially affected: https://lnkd.in/dVuPZVr2 Events like these underscore the importance of preparedness and prompt response. We invite you to explore Disaster Ninja, which provides real-time insights and analytics to better understand and manage the impact of such disasters. Kontur is driven by the belief that technology can empower communities to respond and recover from the unexpected. While we extend our deepest sympathies to those disrupted by the floods, we are also standing by to support recovery efforts in any way possible. #UAEFloods #OmanFloods #DisasterResponse #TechForGood #EmergencyPreparedness #DisasterManagement

We're excited to share that Kontur will be at the Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week (HNPW) in Geneva, from May 6th to 10th, 2024. It's a key event that draws people from all over to tackle humanitarian challenges together. Our role in this space, driven by a commitment to use technology to make a difference, aligns perfectly with HNPW's mission. We see this as a prime chance not just for dialogue and networking, but to join forces towards more effective humanitarian responses. HNPW is the place for sharing knowledge and building the partnerships essential to improve how we respond to crises. At Kontur, we believe in the power of combining tech with the wide-ranging expertise of the HNPW community to craft solutions that truly meet the needs of those in crisis and strengthen resilience for the future. You'll find us at stand 48 throughout the event. We're looking forward to connecting, exchanging ideas, and expanding our network of partners committed to humanitarian progress. Hope to see you there!

Right now, Taiwan is experiencing a devastating earthquake that continues to impact the island and its residents. At Kontur, our hearts go out to everyone affected by this tragedy. Through our disaster management visualization software, Disaster Ninja, we've been closely monitoring the extent of the disaster and its impact on the population. While much of the island is in an area of moderate impact, the earthquake's epicenter is near densely populated regions. The implications are widespread, affecting nearly the entire population of over 23 million people: https://lnkd.in/dsAtX9Uh We invite those interested in learning more about the situation, as well as how to better prepare and respond to such disasters, to use Disaster Ninja. Our application is available for free, offering detailed insights and analytics on disaster impacts worldwide. At Kontur, we are committed to supporting disaster management efforts through technology, hoping to make a difference in the face of such challenges. Our thoughts are with all those affected, and we stand ready to assist in any way we can. #TaiwanEarthquake #DisasterResponse #TechForGood #EmergencyPreparedness #DisasterManagement

Exciting news! 🎉 Our latest release introduces an update to the layers in our Smart City app, now featuring a layer dedicated to road quality! As part of our collaborative project with Donkor Labs on MylesVision, we're developing a mobile application that detects potholes on roads and helps drivers. We've now enhanced this by displaying the collected data on a map as a separate layer. This layer evaluates road quality based on the Standard Deviation of Acceleration (m/s²), where a low standard deviation signifies smooth driving conditions, and higher values suggest poor road surface quality: https://lnkd.in/dYDju_W3 We invite you to join the project as early adopters, gather road data, and help local authorities make informed decisions about where to allocate funding for road improvements. We're also open to discussing potential collaborations and integrating this technology into your projects. Let's make our cities smarter and our roads safer together! #SmartCity #RoadQuality #TechForGood #UrbanInnovation #MylesVision #Kontur #DonkorLabs
