Why Scribble Maps for Disaster Response

Situational awareness in minutes

Drop damage markers, draw closure zones and color-code team assignments on a satellite view as conditions change.

Share with mutual aid and partners

Send a link to volunteer teams, partner agencies and the press. They open it in a browser. No account, no install.

Bring data from anywhere

Import KML, Shapefile, GeoJSON, GPX or CSV. Drop weather feeds, hazard zones, volunteer rosters or shelter lists onto a single map.

Built for Disaster Response teams

Damage assessment

Send teams into the field with a shared map. They drop pinned photos and severity ratings; you see the picture build in real time.

A community map with shelter, food distribution, and supply cache icons clearly labeled across a region

Shelter and resource locations

Map every open shelter, distribution point and supply cache and share a public link residents can use to find help.

A regional road map with red closure barriers, yellow caution segments, and green open routes

Road closures and access

Mark closed roads, washed-out bridges and detours so responders and residents know what's passable.

A response area split into colored zones with each team's assignment map highlighted

Volunteer team assignments

Divide an affected area into zones, color-code by team, and send each crew their own assignment map.

Frequently asked questions

Can multiple field teams update the same map at once?

Yes. Use Manage Users or a team to grant Admin, Editor or Viewer access. Multiple responders can edit the same map; if two people save changes at the same time, Scribble Maps prompts to merge their edits or overwrite.

Will the map work in low-bandwidth conditions?

Scribble Maps runs in any modern browser. Once a map is loaded, you can keep adding markers and notes on a weak connection. New map tiles will load when the link comes back.

Can we keep an internal coordination map private from the public?

Yes. Scribble Maps supports private maps, password protection and AES-256 encryption.

Can we share a public-facing version separately?

Yes. Create a separate read-only version with only the public-safe layers and share it widely while keeping the internal map private.
