Title
DRC & Uganda - Ebola Outbreak - May 2026 - OpenStreetMap Data
Description
This dataset contains OpenStreetMap data exported from the HOTOSM disaster mapping response to the Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda started in May 2026 - Glide number: EP-2026-000071-COD. In May 2026, an epidemic of Ebola disease was reported in the Ituri Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). On 15 May 2026, the Ministry of Public Health, Hygiene and Social Welfare, DRC, officially declared the 17th Ebola Disease outbreak in DRC. Imported cases from Ituri have been reported in the capital city of Kinshasa and its North Kivu Province, as well as in Uganda's capital city of Kampala. The data has been contributed by volunteers through the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team's Tasking Manager and represents **buildings, roads, residential areas and settlement points (i.e. Place) in the affected area**. It is updated every week or more frequently as mapping progresses. Subscribe to this dataset to be notified of any new updates. HOT worked closely with Médecins Sans Frontières [(MSF)](https://www.msf.org/) to define priority areas and features. Tasking Manager Projects can be found [here](https://tasks.hotosm.org/explore?campaign=DRC+Ebola+2026&omitMapResults=1&status=PUBLISHED%2CARCHIVED%2CDRAFT&orderBy=id&orderByType=DESC). See the HOTOSM activation page [here](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Team/Open_Mapping_Hub_Eastern_and_Southern_Africa/DRC_Ebola_2026) for more details. As of 25nd of May, 48 OSM contributors supported this activation.
