Welcome To 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 works in disaster zones providing frequently updated situation maps showing where relief help is most urgently needed.
