2005 - USA, New Orleans: Emergency Team Leader Post Hurricane & Flooding

One notable mission from September 2005 to October 2005 was a MapAid team that went into the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Over the course of eight weeks, the team produced 50,000 maps to assist returnees, guiding them to critical aid agencies for food, shelter, and water. This effort earned recognition and gratitude from the U.S. military and local county authorities. While MapAid’s core focus is typically disaster prevention, the exceptional circumstances in the USA compelled us to act.
