Project overview
This MapSwipe project aims to identify building footprints in the Allahabad (Prayagraj) district, including the Koraon area, which experienced severe flooding in 2025 after heavy monsoon rains caused the Ganga and Yamuna rivers to rise above danger levels. Many villages, homes, and agricultural areas were affected, highlighting the vulnerability of the region to flooding.
By mapping buildings in these areas, volunteers will help create essential baseline data on settlements and infrastructure. This information will support climate resilience efforts by improving preparedness and enabling faster damage assessments and more effective response if similar floods occur again in the future
