🗺️ When the ground shook in Venezuela, mappers around the world stepped up.
After the June 2026 earthquake, 590 volunteers helped create and improve @openstreetmap data for affected communities. In just weeks, nearly 100,000 buildings were mapped, providing responders with a base to use to support relief efforts.
This is why we map before, during, and after crises.

Some 60 people gathered to map buildings in Ituri, DRC. They advanced an urgent Ebola 2026 project on the HOT Tasking Manager last week at a mapathon with Médecins Sans Frontières Belgium.
The @openstreetmap data is used for security mapping, to optimize the delivery of supplies, and for orientation of field teams in this response.

For the first time, the Humanitarian Data Exchange is releasing disaster-specific OSM datasets in collaboration with HOT. During recent disasters in Madagascar and Mozambique, the data was downloaded 440+ times, including from within affected countries.

Open data and open source doing real good in the world. This is exactly why it matters.

Read more about what all the member organisations of the Missing Maps initiative have been up to past year in the annual report.

There is some pretty cool stuff, for example the Lightning Project of Map Kibera, and the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in mapping workshop organised by George Washington University, and many many more!

The membership did also grow with 2 organisations: 3iS and Kenya Red Cross. Welcome to this world of open mapping!

UN Mappers Mapathon at Politechnika Warszawska 🇵🇱

On 27 January, UN Mappers held a mapathon with students of Warsaw University of Technology - Faculty of Geodesy, Poland. We mapped roads 🛣 in Somalia to support peacekeeping, and buildings 🏘 in flood-affected areas in Mozambique to support humanitarian efforts. 🗺
