HelpMap Agency is made up of a diverse team of researchers, designers, technologists, and community practitioners who bring wide-ranging experience to the work of climate adaptation. Our backgrounds span emergency response, urban design, open source development, public health, and participatory research, giving us the flexibility and depth needed to operate across a variety of complex situations.
We work collaboratively across languages, cultures, and disciplines, ensuring that every pilot and research initiative is grounded by local knowledge and shaped by the people most affected by climate risk. This approach allows us to move quickly while maintaining trust, accuracy, and accountability.
Our efforts are guided by an expert Advisory Board, whose members bring decades of leadership in climate and data science, urban adaptation, and humanitarian and disaster response. Their strategic guidance ensures our mission remains focused on delivering digital public goods to the most affected people and places through the provisioning of equitable, accessible, and trusted adaptation technology.
