Help Map the World for Disaster Response - Be a Part of The Red Cross Mapswipe Project Help Put Families on the Map

Join our MapSwipe Project and Help map vulnerable areas around the globe

receive emergency assistance in the case of disaster.

Accurate maps play a critical role in understanding communities, particularly for undocumented

populations at risk. Much, but not all, of the United States has been mapped with incredible detail.

However, this is not the reality for billions of people in vulnerable areas around the globe. These

individuals are often less visible to decision-makers because their communities do not exist on any

maps. During disasters or epidemics, unmapped communities may receive less assistance or none

at all because first responders have less information about them. Red Cross volunteers and staff

in their own neighborhood and around the world rely on updated, detailed information to better

support populations after an emergency.

Since 2014 the American Red Cross has supported Missing Maps, a collaborative humanitarian

project that aims to grow a community of mappers contributing to OpenStreetMap.

Be a part of this amazing life changing event by joining us for one of our MapSwipe Volunteer

Events! Both Virtual/In person Opportunities.
