The Example Product Catalogue is MapAction’s guide for information management professionals working in the humanitarian sector. The detailed resource breaks down data needs by type of hazard and sector and includes specific risks as well as data sources to mitigate them.

The compendium on using geospatial resources to create realtime maps for emergency respondents and key decision-makers covers a vast range of fields or ‘clusters’: temporary settlements, education, food security, health, logistics, sanitation and much more.

Each cluster unfolds like an onion. The section on food security alone contains 39 pages of advice and covers everything from mapping seasonal crop cycles to food-related diseases, availability of food in urban areas or access to staples like fuel.

From what data sources to look for in an earthquake, to how to model floods or map emergency data in a response to tsunamis, landslides or volcanic eruptions, the EPC is the ultimate guide for humanitarian data and geospatial professionals.
