Who are MapAction?
In a humanitarian crisis, relief agencies need rapid answers to questions about 'where'. Where are the greatest needs? Where are the gaps that need to be filled?
MapAction (www.mapaction.org) works 'on-the-ground' in disaster zones providing frequently updated situation maps using the latest technology showing where relief help is most urgently needed. 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.
