Humanitarian Mapping

Humanitarian mapping involves creating detailed digital maps of areas affected by crises, such as natural disasters or conflicts. These maps help aid organizations and governments understand the terrain, infrastructure, and populations in need, enabling more effective delivery of resources and services. Typically, volunteers or experts use satellite images or aerial photos to identify roads, buildings, hospitals, and other critical features. This collaborative effort improves situational awareness, coordinates response efforts, and ultimately supports saving lives and rebuilding communities during emergencies.
