# Introduction

MapaKalamidad.ph is a project initiated by Yayasan Peta Bencana as a free, transparent platform for emergency response and disaster management.

The platform adopts a “people as sensors” paradigm, where confirmed reports are collected directly from the users at street level in a manner that removes expensive and time-consuming data processing. This framework creates accurate, real-time data which is immediately made available for users and first responders.\
\
MapaKalamidad.ph gathers, sorts, and visualizes data using specially developed Situational Intelligence Open Source Software (Siti OSS) - an enterprise-level platform for emergency response and disaster management - to transforms the noise of social and digital media into critical information for residents, communities, and government agencies

## MapaKalamidad Data API

MapaKalamidad is backed by a data [API](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface) exposing a number of public and private endpoints. The documentation that follows allows developers to get up and running. The project is fully open source and the code is available in the [MapaKalamidad GitHub](https://github.com/petabencana/). The architectural diagram is available in different formats:
