Media reports on October 16, 2018, indicated the imminent implementation of the Kerala Open Data Policy. However, progress has been slower than expected. This delay has adversely affected our ability to contribute effectively to open data initiatives, hindering our preparedness for significant events such as the 2017 Okhi cyclone, the 2018 floods, recurring floods in 2019, and the ongoing challenges posed by the pandemic from 2020 to 2022.

The maps created by OSM Kerala community members have played a crucial role during these crises, aiding in efficient response and management. Open data is a powerful tool for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. Timely access to accurate and comprehensive data enables us to make informed decisions, coordinate relief efforts, and enhance overall community resilience.
It is disconcerting to note that the current draft of the policy initially included a chapter on open data, a critical component for the socio-economic development of the region. Unfortunately, this chapter was later removed, creating a void in the policy framework. We believe that the inclusion of a dedicated chapter on open data is essential to providing a clear and comprehensive roadmap for its implementation.
