About this dataset

This dataset contains OpenStreetMap data exported from the HOTOSM disaster mapping response to the earthquake in Colombia in August 2026 (Glide: EQ-2026-000146-COL). On Monday, August 10, 2026, a 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia, the strongest earthquake recorded in the country in over a century. The quake was centered in the Chocó department and was felt across much of the country, as well as in parts of neighbouring Ecuador and Panama, causing widespread destruction in Cali, Pereira, Manizales, Quibdó, and other cities. HOT worked with OSM Colombia, UNGRD (Colombian National Disaster Risk Management Unit), UN Maps, UNDP and IGAC to define priority areas and features. The data has been contributed by volunteers through the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team's Tasking Manager and represents buildings and roads. See the list of projects in the Tasking Manager here. For more information see the HOTOSM activation page. As of 8 September 2026: over 450 contributors.

Colombia – LATAM Regional Mapatón 2026 – Mapped Buildings

This dataset contains building footprints mapped in OpenStreetMap as part of the LATAM Regional Mapatón 2026 in Colombia. The data were generated by volunteers participating in the regional mapping campaign conducted from 13 June to 31 July 2026. The mapping focused on priority areas identified according to disaster risk exposure and vulnerability. The resulting open geospatial data can support disaster preparedness, risk analysis, local planning and climate change adaptation

Buildings of Colombia

Building footprints across the area: every feature tagged `building=*`, from residential homes to hospitals, schools, and places of worship. Useful for population estimation, damage assessment, and urban planning. Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active. Urban areas are usually well represented, remote areas may be sparse. Cross-check critical decisions with local field knowledge. - Source: OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map - Tags: building - Part of the country exports on HDX by HOT

Evaluación de daños en edificaciones en la ciudad de Zarzal, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, al 13 de agosto de 2026

**UNOSAT code: EQ20260810COL, GDACS ID: 1557236** Este mapa presenta una evaluación de daños basada en imágenes satelitales de la ciudad de Zarzal, departamento Valle del Cauca, ubicada aproximadamente a 50 km del área epicentral del terremoto de magnitud 7,4 ocurrido el 10 de agosto de 2026 en Colombia. Los daños fueron identificados principalmente en una imágen satelital Pléiades de muy alta resolución, adquirida el 13 de agosto de 2026. Dentro del área analizada, se identificaron 21 edificaciones con daños y 180 edificaciones como potencialmente dañadas. El alto ángulo de incidencia (>40°) de las imágenes satelitales utilizadas para este análisis puede afectar la precisión de los resultados. Por lo tanto, las estimaciones de daños derivadas de imágenes satelitales con un ángulo de incidencia tan elevado deben interpretarse con precaución. Este es un análisis preliminar que aún no ha sido validado en campo. Se recomienda realizar una verificación en terreno. Los comentarios y observaciones pueden enviarse al Centro de Satélites de las Naciones Unidas.
