OpenStreetMap Team (HOT</a>) provides immediate support for
disaster or humanitarian responses by coordinating and activating
a global network of mappers that contribute up-to-date geodata to
the OSM database. <br>
For example, after the Nepal earthquake 2015 volunteers added up
to 800 km to the OSM street network per hour! This information
could successfully support post-disaster humanitarian logistics on
the ground.</p>
