Mapping and Open Data Critical to Disaster Response
The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) released an impact report on September 18, 2024, highlighting two years of enhancing open data for disaster response in West and Northern Africa. Key successes include vital infrastructure mapping in Morocco, Senegal, Liberia, and Nigeria, showcasing the importance of accurate data and community collaboration.
Will OpenStreetMap meet your needs? HOT’s move towards more data insights
In the spirit of FAIR data (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) and with support from the H2H Network, HOT is improving the reusability of OpenStreetMap (OSM) data through improved metadata of its datasets.
From Brainstorm to (Almost) Blastoff: Building ClearPath, an Accessible Navigation App
ClearPath, a mobile navigation app, leverages OpenStreetMap to enhance accessibility in Downtown Kingston for persons with disabilities. Developed with support from HOT’s microgrant and collaboration with MSBM, ClearPath aims to map key accessibility features like curb cuts and pedestrian crossings.
