In a recent piece by OnlineKhabar, written by Shashwat Pant, HOT Product Owner Ksh*tij Sharma spoke about the ongoing humanitarian mapping effort in response to the Nepal floods.

The response is a collaborative effort involving multiple actors, including NAXA, MapBuds, and Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team – working together to support a coordinated national response.

Explore the article for more insight into the remote mapping efforts, how the data can support responders, and how you can contribute from anywhere in the world.

📢 𝗨𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱! 🇳🇵

On 26 August 2026, devastating floods and mudslides swept through the Lhende Khola river valley, Nepal, resulting in heavy tolls on lives and critical infrastructure. As of 27 August, early reports indicate an estimated 160 casualties and around 1,500 people missing across Nepal and Tibet, with numbers expected to rise as search and rescue efforts continue.

In response, professionals from NAXA, MapBuds, Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, and the wider tech community in Nepal are coming together to support evidence-based humanitarian action in line with joint national efforts.

The collaborative effort includes processing drone imagery, mapping and validating affected areas, and using the fAIr platform to map and compare building footprints before and after the floods, helping generate timely information for response and recovery efforts.

🗺️ 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀: https://bit.ly/mapnepalflood (currently open to intermediate mappers)

📍 If you are part of an organisation or community involved in the response and have geospatial data needs, please reach out to Bernard Heng ([email protected]) with your priority locations and features for mapping.

Every contribution helps. Thank you for standing in solidarity and supporting local responders and communities affected by the floods. धन्यवाद 💙
