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.
