Overview
Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) applies the principles of open source and open data sharing for humanitarian response and economic development. This grant would support HOT’s work of using satellite imagery to generate detailed and accurate maps of the Ebola-affected region to facilitate the humanitarian response, and for improving data analysis and tasking tools to do so. The HOT technology platform, which has been proven successful in other relief efforts, is currently being deployed in West Africa and would be upgraded with this support.
