My mental map of humanitarian space and disaster response
GDACS: A cooperation framework between the UN, EU, and disaster managers worldwide to improve alerts, information exchange, and coordination in the first phase after major sudden-onset disasters.
The Sendai Framework is a 15-year voluntary, non-binding agreement that maps out a broad, people-centred approach to disaster risk reduction, succeeding the Hyogo Framework for Action.

Essentially there was a task on Zooniverse that used Planet Labs 5-meter resolution imagery to determine classifiable areas in Nepal. I think this could be a valuable input for HOT activations to help activators determine mapping gaps and plan mapping projects.

AIDR (Artificial Intelligence for Disaster Response) is a free and open source software that automatically collects and classifies tweets that are posted during humanitarian crises.
The Local Open Data Census to survey and compare the progress made by different cities and local areas in releasing Open Data. You can help by tracking down Open Data from a city or region where you live or that you’re interested in.
The Global Open Data Index was created to provide an up-to-date and reliable guide to the state of global open data for policy-makers, researchers, journalists, activists and citizens.
Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR) is a decade-long research programme co-sponsored by the International Council for Science (ICSU), the International Social Science Council (ISSC), and the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR). It is a global, multi-disciplinary approach to dealing with the challenges brought by natural disasters, mitigating their impacts, and improving related policy-making mechanisms.

Committee on Earth Observation Satellites Mission: CEOS ensures international coordination of civil space-based Earth observation programs and promotes exchange of data to optimize societal benefit and inform decision making for securing a prosperous and sustainable future for humankind.T http://ceos.org
The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) was established in 1992 to ensure that the observations and information required to address climate-related issues are obtained and made available to all potential users.
The intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO) is leading a worldwide effort to build a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS). https://www.earthobservations.org/index.php
The main objective of the database is to serve the purposes of humanitarian action at national and international levels. The initiative aims to rationalise decision making for disaster preparedness, as well as provide an objective base for vulnerability assessment and priority setting. http://www.emdat.be/
