Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team
Mapping our world together.
Who we are
HOT is an international team dedicated to humanitarian action and community development through open mapping.
We work together to provide map data which revolutionises disaster management, reduces risks, and contributes to achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
In 2020 the work of the HOT community was recognized by TED’s Audacious Project, a collaborative philanthropic initiative that serves as a springboard for social impact on a grand scale, leading to an exciting new phase of growth.
