[MEDIA ALERT] Signing Ceremony for License Agreement with Facebook Caribbean
Press invitation
The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission will, today, sign a license agreement with Facebook Caribbean that will allow access to Facebook’s Disaster Maps, with the aim of improving emergency response for OECS Member States ahead of the 2019 hurricane season.
WHAT
Facebook Disaster Maps (FDMs) is an initiative to help organisations address the critical gap in information they often face when responding to natural disasters.
FDMs are dynamic mapping resources with information about where populations are located, how they are moving, and where they are checking in safe during a natural disaster. Using this de-identified and aggregated information, relief agencies will be able to more effectively respond to the needs of affected communities with appropriate services and supplies.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
The media is invited to attend via the below Zoom link.
WHEN
The opening ceremony will be held on Tuesday 4th June from 9:00 AM.
