🔢📈 A map may better show the gaps in access to education and healthcare than mere figures.
🚶🏻➡️👩🏻🏫🧑🏻⚕️Researchers at HeiGIT have developed OpenAccessLens, an open dataset platform on access to education and healthcare worldwide.
It shows how far people are from the nearest schools and hospitals, expressed in travel time or distance.
🗺️ OpenAccessLens is created using open-source tools, primarily openrouteservice and @OpenStreetMap .
📊👦🏽👩🏻🦰 It combines travel-time and distance-based accessibility with WorldPop population data, as detailed in the #HEIGIT press release: https://bit.ly/4vitrjC

Check out some pictures from the Belgian university mapathons #BelMap2026!
Over the course of 7 mapathons last week, 240 participants came together to map nearly 40,000 buildings in Ouaddaï Province, Chad, supporting the work of @doctorswithoutborders who provide healthcare to local communities and people fleeing the war in Sudan.
A huge thank you to all the participants and organizers for their effort and these amazing results!👏

❗ Risk assessments are essential for anticipatory action, but they often require complex data processing and technical expertise.
To help lower these barriers, HeiGIT has developed a QGIS Risk Assessment plugin that enables tailored disaster risk analyses without advanced coding skills. They have also released ready-to-use datasets to support risk assessments worldwide.

ℹ️ Severe flooding in Mozambique has affected more than 500,000 people following heavy rains in the first weeks of the year, according to United Nations OCHA. The situation continues to worsen as Cyclone Gezani impacts parts of the country, particularly Sofala and Inhambane provinces, with 4 fatalities reported so far.
@_hotosm is working with partners to support a coordinated mapping response for response and recovery efforts.
Volunteers can contribute by mapping affected areas to help provide critical geospatial data for responders on the ground.
