About IMMAP-MENA GIS Observatory & Historical Disclosure
Editorial mandate, strict non-impersonation boundary, and archival preservation ledger for historical humanitarian GIS citations.
1. Historical Provenance & Non-Impersonation Charter
Between 2016 and 2025, immap-mena.info and its operational subdomain yemen.immap-mena.info hosted regional humanitarian information-management dashboards, 3W presence products, Nutrition Cluster summaries, and Yemen COVID-19 response timelines cited by WHO EMRO, UN Security Council document S/2021/79, UN OCHA Yemen Humanitarian Fund strategy papers, and peer-reviewed medical literature.
Following domain expiration and archival restoration in 2026, this website operates as an independent archival research observatory. It makes zero claim of official agency status, active UN cluster command authority, or endorsement by iMMAP Inc. (immap.org), WHO, UN OCHA, or Microsoft Corporation. Active official humanitarian coordination data should always be verified directly through active agency portals.

2. Editorial Standards & Zero-Telemetry Architecture
All analytical calculators on this observatory—including the Yemen Medical Logistics & Cold-Chain Disruption Workbench—run strictly inside the visitor's browser without transmitting scenario inputs to external servers. Legacy CMS endpoints (/feed/, /modules/system/, /wp-admin/) return explicit HTTP 410 Gone responses to keep automated crawlers focused exclusively on verified cartographic and epidemiological documentation.
3. Editorial & Archival Correction Contacts
Researchers, humanitarian GIS analysts, or institutional librarians requesting citation updates or archival errata may reach the observatory desk directly via [email protected] or [email protected].
Every archival correction request is reviewed against primary Wayback CDX snapshots, WHO EMRO technical bulletins, UN OCHA Financial Tracking Service annexes, and Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) dataset metadata before updating canonical route mappings or facility registry citations. When reporting a broken external citation or deprecated legacy subpath under yemen.immap-mena.info or the apex domain, please include the exact referring document URL, publication date, and target topic section so single-hop permanent redirects and inline archival notes remain verifiable for academic and operational users.
