Wikimedians for Disaster Response/Events
One of the outcomes of the Wikimania 2017 session was the suggestion to reach out to different communities within and beyond the Wikimedia universe in order to learn from each other's past and ongoing disaster response activities and to explore the potential for coordinating future ones.
This page is meant to facilitate this process by providing an overview of events aimed at bringing these communities together.
