The project is aimed at preemptively mapping vulnerable parts of the world to create highly detailed maps that will be ready for first-responders to use in the event of a disaster, conflict, or disease epidemic. [6] It relies on a large volunteer community to map these areas through online, remote mapping in the initial phases.
