Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team: volunteer maps for humanitarian action

The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) is an international team dedicated to humanitarian action and community development through the creation of open and collaborative maps via the OpenStreetMap platform.

“We work together to provide map data which revolutionises disaster management, reduces risks, and contributes to achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals”,  is explained on the project's website. 

HOT's mission is to create and maintain accurate and updated maps of vulnerable areas or those that have been affected by crises of any type. Thus, this non-profit team tries to support the response to natural disasters, humanitarian emergencies, armed conflicts, migrations or public health problems.

Thousands of volunteers collaborate with HOT in the updated maintenance of maps so they can be used by the corresponding emergency and aid teams.

In the Tools & Data section, the tools that volunteers can use are available.

According to data provided by HOT, a total of 491,000 people have collaborated in updating the maps, in which 260 million edits have been made. For example, more than 156 million buildings in different parts of the world have been mapped and 3.4 million kilometers of roads have been located on the maps.
