Validate Footprints - Validate - Dhaka - Bangladesh (1) American Red Cross
This is an OSM building validation project type. You are looking to validate building footprints. Please use the tutorial to learn how to contribute. \n\n **Project description** \n\n Areas of Dhaka, Bangladesh were mapped in 2016 to support disaster risk reduction programming. Help us understand the quality of the OSM building data in the area. The results will be used to help evaluate if the area should be re-mapped.

Find Features - Find Buildings - Flood Response Astore - AP-Pakistan (3) HOT
This MapSwipe project aims to identify building footprints in areas affected by the **recent flooding in Pakistan** (August 2025).
By collaborating on this project, mappers will help to **identify buildings** to understand the extent of affected areas, which will turn in helping in the response and recovery efforts.
The resulting data is crucial for understanding the scope of the disaster and effectively directing aid to those in need.
Thanks for your support.

Find Features - Mapping mobile homes - Arizona, USA (36) Arizona State University
**The mapping** \n\n\n Help us look for "mobile homes" including both manufactured homes and recreational vehicle (RV). Please take the tutorial to learn how to identify these features. \n\n\n **The data** \n\n\n Data will be used by researchers at Arizona State University and partners like AAMHO, the City of Phoenix and SRP to design solutions for heat resilience among mobile home owners across the state. People who live in this type of housing are 6 times more likely to suffer heat related deaths. We will better understand the nature and extent of the problem and identify precise cost and locations of where to activate support, energy innovations, and housing weatherization in order to prevent hundreds of fatalities each year.

Find Features - Find - Buildings - Upatá, Bolivar-Venezuela (1) HOT
Mapping in areas of high multidimensional poverty is of crucial relevance, as women play an essential role in** indigenous populations**, and contribute significantly to social cohesion, cultural preservation and community sustainability.
In addition, women in indigenous communities are transmitters of local knowledge and assume fundamental responsibilities in the management of natural resources and environmental preservation. Women’s active participation in their communities strengthens resilience in the face of socioeconomic and environmental challenges. In the context of the Amazon, mapping becomes critically important when considering vulnerability and the need to preserve valuable natural resources. When women in these communities have detailed information of their surroundings, it facilitates strategic planning against threats, and contributes to the implementation of adaptation and protection measures, to ensure the long-term survival of the region and its population.
