Heatwaves have become a growing concern in recent years, and this year they’ve hit Bangladesh harder than ever, posing serious health risks. Our team, Three Dot, is competing in the Forewarn Disaster Hackathon 2.0, where we’re developing an app to provide heatwave alerts and an AI assistant that offers crucial advice on heat-related health issues.
One of the key features of our solution is providing users with the location of the nearest cooling centers—places with public accessibility, where people can cool down safely. These could be shopping malls, super shops, or mosques—any space that’s well-ventilated and free for the public to stay in.
The challenge we faced is that such attributes don’t exist in OpenStreetMap (OSM) for Bangladesh. Drawing on my previous experience as the former president of YouthMappers at Eastern University, I took the initiative to map out potential cooling centers. We’re tagging these places with: 1) Cooling_center: yes and 2) Cooling_center_bd: yes, to create a reliable resource for users and develop our heatwave project on top of that. Initially, our target location is, Dhanmondi and Mohammadpur.
Our initial focus has been on mapping spaces open to the community, such as large shopping malls and mosques, so that people can find refuge during extreme heatwaves, even if just for a short time.

When I finished high school, I joined the Rwanda Red Cross because I have always loved humanitarian work and felt a strong duty to help people in any way I could.
This project is created to map POIs and landmarks using field-collected Mapillary but I couldn’t find this filter.
Joined OpenStreetMap as a user & future editor
I started mapping a few weeks ago, sticking (mostly) to North Muirton in Perth for now as I have lived here for 50 years so I think I know it quite well. No doubt I’ll have done a few things wrong along the way but I’ll go back and fix, if and when I realise. As I write this, almost all the houses and flats in NM are at least drawn out with a few streets still to be tagged with the “basics”.
I intend to add (or finish)
- Electricity Substations (all operated by SSE? - I think they all are)
- Grit Bins
- Public Benches
- Garages (rented out by the local council)
- Add all postcodes
- Public pathways (miles of them!)
- Back fences (the 6ft high ones around all the back gardens)
- Grassy areas
- Road crossings
- Drying greens for the 8 and 4-block flats
It was on 1st July 2024 when I received the greatest News of my life that I was awarded a full travel sponsorship to attend the State of the Map Global conference 2024 in Nairobi Kenya.
We know balancing those numbers and understanding financial theories can feel like climbing Mount Everest without the oxygen! But dont sweat it.

This Conference was a Good opportunity for me and all the team from Rwanda as well as Africa in General because it was the first time of Africa to host the state of the Map.

Attending State of the Map 2024 in Nairobi, Kenya, was an unforgettable experience that deepened my understanding of mapping and the OpenStreetMap community. It was truly inspiring to be part of such a vibrant and passionate group of mappers and contributors from 54 countries. The sessions on community capacity building, disaster recovery and response, and conservation have reinvigorated my commitment to OpenStreetMap. I’m grateful to the community for supporting our initiatives on Pudussery Panchayat Mapping and the creation of a spatial flood asset database. Special thanks to OSMF for the State of the Map 2024 Travel Grant. I’m excited to continue contributing and collaborating with this amazing community. Here’s to more mapping adventures ahead!

On December 5th, 2017, I joined Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team with the goal of making a tangible impact. Over the years, my curiosity on the HOT Tasking Manager grew, and I found myself increasingly drawn to OpenStreetMap (OSM).

Individual trees are not “natural woods.” Someone has marked all the trees around my house as individual woods, but they are actually trees I planted, not many separate woodlands.
With my State of the Map Working Group - communications hat 👒 , one thing that really put a smile on my face is checking the stats of scholarships given! 😍
Seit kurzem dabei….
Uli, 61 Jahre aus Gladbeck. Seit Juni 2024 bin ich Mapper und versuche mich in OSM einzuarbeiten indem ich meinen Heimatstadtteil Buttendorf mal genauer betrachte und Fehler berichtige.
Ich freue mich über Kontakte in Gladbeck und natürlich über Hinweise wenn ich mal was falsch editiere.
Bis bald
Uli

Giving back to the community has been the focus. On 26_07_24, I had the opportunity to meet the UMaT YouthMappers chapter while attending the 5th WAIMM Students Conference (an annual 3-day conference).
On March 15th and 16th, OpenStreetMap Ghana (Sir Mawutor) and I visited UCC YouthMappers to familiarize them with how to fly a drone to map and to also map with Mapillary. It turned out to be an excellent result—a massive turnout. Appreciation to Dr.
I am grateful to YouthMappers for providing me with the knowledge and abilities that would enable me to impact and transform deprived communities and contribute to sustainable development.
