 # Remote Mapping in Malawi: Supporting Field Operations for the Cholera Outbreak and Cyclone Freddy Response
 
+
 ## Cholera outbreak
 In Malawi, cholera remains endemic, with a consistent pattern of cases typically emerging in March, following the arrival of the initial rains. Historically, these occurrences swiftly faded away. However, in 2022, the number of reported cholera cases exhibited a significant rise following the initial occurrences in March. Since then, the cholera outbreak spread to several cities including Lilongwe, where the situation worsened in early December 2022. In mid-December, the number of cases skyrocketed. Responding to this alarming development, the Missing Maps team from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) launched remote mapping support, first setting up six Mapswipe projects, and with the resulting grid, HOT Tasking Manager projects to map buildings and residential areas.

 In Malawi, the seasonal occurrence of tropical cyclones in February-March has become increasingly apparent, potentially linked to the presence of climate change. The devastating aftermath of Tropical Storm Ana in 2022 prompted [disaster response mapping](https://reliefweb.int/map/malawi/malawi-phalombe-district-cyclone-ana-impact-map-31-january-2022). This year, Tropical Cyclone Freddy made a second landfall in Malawi and Mozambique in March 2023, triggering widespread flooding and devastating landslides.
