Greetings HOT Community, We are quickly approaching 100 days since HOT officially activated for the coronavirus pandemic; of course that was some time after the virus began to take its course. However, since then we have made some amazing progress mapping those areas which local communities or partner organizations have requested help.
In total 199 projects have been created! That's a total of roughly 124,000 square kilometers and almost 82,000 tasks! Of which 87% has been mapped and 61% has been validated; with 44 projects being completely mapped, validated, archived and the data delivered to the requesting organization for use in the fight against COVID-19. Very impressive work! However, as the virus is not done with us yet, we are far from being done with the mapping. Just this week we got several more requests and several of our microgrant recipients have now launched; therefore... more projects, area and tasks will be added to those totals soon. So we will still need your help - as mappers, as validators, as working group members and general volunteers. Want to map? Head to tasks.hotosm.org and select the highest priority COVID project available to you. Validators - also, please stick to the highest priority project(s) so we can try to get them 100% complete and archived. Want to help in other ways, head to https://bit.ly/HOTWG this is where you will find all the active Working Groups. The Activation Working Group is the most focused on Disasters, but find the group that fits your interest, each group contributes in various ways to our ability to provide maps for humanitarian aid and development work around the globe. Sincerely, =Russ -- Russell Deffner russell.deff...@hotosm.org Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) http://hotosm.org
