Offline Disaster Relief Coordination with OpenStreetMap and FastAPI

🎤 Offline Disaster Relief Coordination with OpenStreetMap and FastAPI by Jannis Lübbe
🔗 https://ep2025.europython.eu/session/offline-disaster-relief-coordination-with-openstreetmap-and-fastapi

📝 Abstract: In disaster scenarios, reliable communication is crucial. A solution for offline disaster relief coordination is presented, using OpenStreetMap vector maps hosted with FastAPI on a Raspberry Pi, which provides a WiFi hotspot. Street and location names are extracted from OpenStreetMap data to enable location searches. The system can be extended by using a LORAWAN gateway to receive positional information from disaster relief workers.

All the knowledge required to host such a map server will be provided.
