This output is vital for fellow relief agencies and emergency services. MapAction are the only non-governmental organisation (NGO) with a substantial track record in field mapping for disaster emergencies. Since 2004 MapAction have helped in 20 emergencies including the Asian tsunami, earthquakes, volcanoes, floods and tropical storms. They can deploy a fully trained and equipped mapping team anywhere in the world, often within a few hours of an alert, 365 days per year.
