HUMANITARIAN OPENSTREETMAP TEAM
Washington, District of Columbia
When major disaster strikes anywhere in the world, HOT rallies a global network of thousands of volunteers to create online and offline maps that enable responders to reach those in need. These mappers and GIS professionals can work remotely or be deployed for field missions at the request of humanitarian partners such as the American Red Cross, Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), and UN OCHA.
HOT supports community mapping projects around the world and assists people in creating their own maps for socio-economic development and disaster preparedness. HOT also partners with donors, academic institutions, and government agencies to plan and execute mapping projects focused on education, financial services, health, infrastructure, transportation, water and sanitation, and other sectors.
Every dollar you give will help HOT where it's needed most, from critical disaster mapping activations to supporting community mapping projects globally.
