What it does
Missing Maps is a project that uses satellite imagery and OpenStreetMap to map areas where disasters and crises affect people.
Remote volunteers trace satellite imagery into OpenStreetMap. Community volunteers add local detail such as neighbourhoods, street names and evacuation centers. Humanitarian organizations and local communities use the maps to plan risk reduction and disaster response. Never mapped before? Don’t worry, it doesn’t take long to learn. The best way is at a mapathon, where volunteers get training and map together. Check the Events Calendar for upcoming Missing Maps events! If you don’t see any events in your language or time, you can still start mapping anytime — visit our Get Involved page and choose a mapping tool. New events are added regularly!
