Description: This project created a publicly editable directory of Georgia’s Natural, Cultural and Historical Organizations (NCHs), including libraries, archives and museums, allowing for the quick retrieval of location and contact information for disaster response. Directory information was uploaded to Wikidata, the linked open data database from the Wikimedia Foundation. Directory information is delivered via a website, allowing emergency responders to quickly search for NCHs in disaster areas.
