Nepal buildings and infrastructure data

Part of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team response activation for the 26 August 2026 Bhote Koshi and Trishuli flash flood in Nepal. AI-scored building damage per OpenStreetMap footprint across the upper Trishuli and Bhote Koshi corridor, from Rasuwagadhi to the Narayani confluence. Post imagery is a 26-scene Vantor open-data composite (2026-08-27 to 2026-09-08, roughly 0.4 m/px, about 9.8% cloud). Pre imagery is ESRI World Imagery. Building footprints come from OpenStreetMap and cover 20,367 features in the corridor; 8,421 fall inside the analyzed area and carry an AI damage class. Each feature carries `osm_id`, `osm_type`, `building`, a `damage` label (`no-visible-damage`, `minor-damage`, `major-damage`, `destroyed`) and a `damage_confidence`. Evaluated and validated against 3,896 OSM manually tagged affected buildings (3,185 destroyed + 711 damaged, 2026-09-12): destroyed precision 0.91, recall 0.78, F1 0.84; severe (major + destroyed) recall against manually tagged affected buildings 0.75. The reference layer is included in this dataset.

Education facilities: schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities tagged via `amenity` or `building`. Useful for school-access mapping, education planning, and resource allocation. 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: amenity, building - Part of the country exports on HDX by HOT
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.
