Project overview
Buildings were recently mapped to support resilience research and emergency planning in coastal communities across Canada. This project focuses on validating the quality of those building footprints in OpenStreetMap. The aim is to confirm that outlines are accurate, complete, and suitable for use in risk assessments and preparedness planning, strengthening data reliability for ongoing coastal resilience work.
