History of this Activation

Reactivity of the OSM Community

  • 3 February 2022 - HOT Disaster Manager for the Eastern and Southern Africa - Hub (Wilson Munyaradzi), and HOT Project Manager and Disaster Response Coordinator (Russel Deffner), notified the HOT Disaster Services of the need to Map areas impacted by Cyclone Ana and Batsirai and contacted OSM Madagascar to take the lead in creating projects in Tasking Manager as well as mobilize mappers.
  • 8 February 2022 - First mapping projects launched on the HOT Tasking Manager

For Mappers

  • POI and HOT Coordinator(s) requesting remote mapping assistance for estimated 6 week mapping response

About OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap offers an online map (and spatial database) that is updated by the minute. Various tools and services allow data extracts for GIS specialists, Routable Garmin GPS data, Smartphone GPS navigation, and other device-compatible downloads. With an internet connection, regular syncing is possible with open access to the community contributed data as it comes in, with OpenStreetMap's bulk data downloads ideal for use offline. In addition, maps can also be printed on paper.

Browse the (example) Activation Area to get a feel for the data that is currently available. Different map styles including a Humanitarian style can be selected on the right side, and some data may not render (appear) on the map but could be exported from the underlying database (See export section below).

Paper Maps

Poster size Maps and normal sized paper atlases of custom areas can be printed:

  • For print, the World Food Programme has built the Humanitarian Topographic Atlas.
  • We suggest FieldPapers Paper Maps with grid for field survey or general navigation purposes.
  • See OSM_on_Paper for an overview and list of other platforms and services for printing maps.

Offline Road Navigation with small devices

With the availibility of Small communication devices, Navigation Offline data proves to be very useful to the humanitarians deployed in foreign countries. We support the humanitarian NGO's using navigation data and invite them to give us feedback on the utilization of these devices in the context of field deployment.

  • See Software/Mobile for more information on using OSM in portable devices.
  • See also Mobile Mapping on LearnOSM.org for information on mapping in the field.

Usage of OSM data for Humanitarian Missions


Available Imagery

OSM Default Imagery Sources

Bing

Bing provides a global imagery data source that is the 'default' Imagery available for OSM (default option in most editors).

Mapbox

Mapbox provides a global imagery source and should be compared to Bing (typically use Bing for alignment if available and not instructed otherwise).

Alternative Imagery Sources

How to add/use Alternative Imagery

In many cases better imagery is available than the default; when possible we set up a remote link directly via the Tasking Manager, so there is nothing to do, the iD editor and (as long as enabled) JOSM will automatically add the imagery.

Additionally, with JOSM, it's relatively easy to add special imagery if the license is appropriate for tracing into OSM. For more details see JOSM Imagery Help
