### Filling the Data Gap in OSM
 

To create a precise pre-conflict building footprint dataset that’s needed to refine locations of damage detected remotely through satellite, HOT kicked off a crowdsourced mapping project in October 2024 with global volunteers and a growing OSM community in Lebanon.  

By the end of December 2024, over 100 volunteers had already contributed over 150,000 map edits! We anticipate completion of the 3 southern states of Sour, Bent Jbeil, and Marjayoun by early February 2025. We will then review priority areas, but anticipate mapping Jezzine, Saida, El Nabatieh, Hasbaya, and southern Beirut. We’ve been prioritizing areas based on humanitarian requests and initial damage estimates. You can track the progress of areas mapped and validated in this [map](https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/lebanon-conflict-2024-tasking-manager-project-prog_1132719#10/33.3758/35.2359) (screenshot below as of 6 Jan ‘25), and learn more [here](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lebanon:_Conflict_-_October_2024)
