expanding the network
Communities everywhere face accelerating climate risks, and no single organization can meet these challenges alone. HelpMap Agency partners with governments, NGOs, universities, civil-society groups, and grassroots networks to deploy open source adaptation technology where it can have the greatest impact. By working together, we help communities transform uncertainty into coordinated action.
As a platform adopter, you’ll have direct access to the team maintaining CogniCity OSS, alongside training programs, technical guides, deployment support, and opportunities to co-design new features that reflect real needs in your community. Whether you’re preparing for the next monsoon season, strengthening your preparedness, or enhancing community-led reporting, we’re here to support your mission and amplify your impact.
Partnerships with HelpMap Agency are more than just technical integration—they are a long-term collaboration rooted in shared values, responsibility, and resilience. Let’s build adaptation technology that protects people today and empowers communities for generations to come.

Cognicity oss
CogniCity OSS encodes the principles at the core of our mission. With over a decade of real-world deployments in some of the most challenging conditions, CogniCity allows residents to contribute verified, location-based information during crises, transforming signals into a structured, accessible, common cartography for all users.
The platform is built around distributed networks of trust. Rather than relying on centralized, fragile information channels, CogniCity OSS empowers communities to generate situational awareness from the bottom up. Reports are geolocated, timestamped, analyzed, and visualized in real time, enabling rapid decision-making by residents, community leaders, governments agencies, emergency managers, media organizations, and humanitarian response teams.
This “community-to-community” model for adaptation technology is precisely what this moment needs most.
By maintaining CogniCity OSS as a digital public good, HelpMap Agency ensures that adaptation technology remains open, interoperable, and responsive to evolving hazards. Every deployment extends a growing network, allowing cities and regions to learn from one another and to cultivate resilience that extends beyond any single jurisdiction or crisis. In this sense, CogniCity is not a technology stack, but a robust, modular framework for a global climate adaptation movement.ework for a global climate adaptation movement.
