Abstract

Growing numbers of citizen scientists are joining the professional community to map structural damage caused by natural disasters such as Typhoon Haiyan, which struck the Philippines in 2013 (see Nature 515, 321; 2014). However, stakeholders need to recognize some crucial limitations of crowdsourced contributions.
