🗺️ 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.

@DoctorsWithoutBorders #MissingMaps team found that identifying buildings on @mapswipe was not always evident, so @bluestarfish created an @openstreetmap Wiki remote mapping guide for the #Twiccounty. A network analysis also led to opening more road mapping projects on the HOT Tasking Manager.
Thanks to all the contributors who helped complete this major campaign! 🥳 -

RE: https://mastodon.social/@TheMissingMaps/116283476833395805
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!

fAIr makes humanitarian mapping faster and amplifies the work mappers do (not replacing human involvement). Kshitij Raj Sharma and Emmanuel Jolaiya told #sotmeu25 all about the tool and the features added in the last year.
Is this good for #OpenStreetMap and #MissingMaps? Have you used it?
The recording can be watched here

Went to my first meet-up in a very long time, first one since COVID for sure. It was really nice to meet new people and do something together that we were all interested about. This time it was a Missing Maps and HOTS event, a Mapping Party. It was great to be able to help map rural Victoria and help identify buildings in fire-prone areas for disaster prevention/relief.

🎉 This week marks the 11th anniversary of the Missing Maps project!🎊
A huge thank you to everyone who makes #MissingMaps what it is - without the amazing community, our impact wouldn’t be possible. ⭐In those eleven years, together we’ve:
🗺️ Added 65 million buildings and 1.18 million km of roads to #OpenStreetMap
👥 Grown to 184,000 contributorsThose numbers are amazing, but what truly matters are all the connections, collaborations, and stories that Missing Maps has inspired.🫶

I do světa #OpenStreetMap proniká umělá inteligence a machine learning. Projektu Missing Maps pomáhá projekt fAIr k automatické detekci různých objektů, Daniel Kašík se věnuje automatické detekci přechodů ze satelitních snímků.
Miloslav Ofúkaný na závěr popovídal o tom, jak projekt Missing Maps žije úspěšně ve skvělé komunitě již od roku 2016 v Česku a Slovensku.

Last month, a #MissingMaps Day was held in Olomouc. Around 20 mappers came together to support #MSF teams in Tawila, Sudan, adding over 15,000 buildings to #OpenStreetMap in just one day.
Now, the whole mapping campaign in Tawila is complete, with more than 100,000 buildings and temporary shelters mapped to support the humanitarian work in the area.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated in this incredible effort! 👏
