Open mapping plays a crucial role in addressing global challenges by bridging personal experiences with broader environmental understanding. The participatory nature of open mapping facilitates collaborative efforts among humanitarian, development, and community organizations to make well-informed, context-specific decisions. By integrating real-world data from OpenStreetMap (OSM), including infrastructure and estimated disaster impacts these efforts enhance disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. This collaborative approach not only identifies areas at risk from natural hazards but also supports proactive measures to mitigate future impacts, ensuring communities are better equipped to withstand environmental changes.
