Interesting read. This was new to me:

When a disaster hits, a small nonprofit called the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team does something simple. It takes the affected area, chops it into small squares, and puts the squares on the internet, on a site called the Tasking Manager.

Really intetesting. Good example of how the internet gets put to good use.

Yes, un-squared square buildings do seem to be standard for so many HOT responses. 😒

@openstreetmap

Has anyone been helping Venezuela?
