Izabal department (GT-IZ), Guatemala: AI predictions of building footprint on Bing Maps images (approximately 2016-2019), see https://github.com/rodekruis/automated-building-detection. Produced in support to DRRT Guatemala for hurricane Eta and Iota. Coordinate reference system: WGS 84 / EPSG:4326

This dataset contains building footprints mapped in OpenStreetMap as part of the LATAM Regional Mapatón 2026 in Guatemala. 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.

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

Education facilities: schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities tagged via `amenity` or `building`. Useful for school-access mapping, education planning, and resource allocation.

This map illustrates an estimation of the number of buildings potentially affected by pyroclastic flow detected by Copernicus EMS using a Sentinel-2 satellite image collected on 4 June 2018. UNITAR-UNOSAT estimates 411 buildings / structures within the pyroclastic flow, ~ 260 of which are located inside the community of San Miguel de Los Lotes. Industrial sites and the resort of La Reunion are also included in the extent of this pyroclastic flow. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.
