What is it? The aim of the Missing Maps Project is to map the most crisis-prone parts of the world. With your help we can map communities vulnerable to disasters or experiencing poverty. Both beginners and experienced mappers are welcome to join this mapathon, please choose your ticket according to your level of mapping skills.

Where will we be mapping? We will be working on high-priority projects requested by the Red Cross and MSF - TBC closer to date!

What do I need? Just a laptop/desktop, an internet connection, a mouse and enthusiasm (a mouse isn't absolutely necessary but it makes mapping much faster).

What can I do to prepare? To get a head start - if you've not already created a mapping account visit this page and follow steps 1-4.

Where is it? This month we're all mapping remotely!
