Analysis and documentation of large-scale destruction from disasters & conflicts. We make open databases to help the world 🌎 By @kayleighruiter & @bendobrown

We have spent the past few months documenting destruction on satellite imagery in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, answering the questions:
- WHEN, WHERE & HOW the villages were destroyed &
- HOW many buildings

This is what our project is about. Thread 🧵👇

WHY are we doing this project for free?

In 2018 we used @googleearth to do an overview of the burnt villages & found 158 (image below). That was the start.

We've been diving into the detail with @KayleighRuiter to build an open database of every destroyed village.
