Solution Description:

The UN Vector Tile Toolkit is a package of open source tools designed under the UN Open GIS Initiative to enable public basemap providers, such as the UN Geospatial Information Service and national government mapping agencies, to leverage the latest web mapping technology to It is designed to enable public basemap providers such as the United Nations Geospatial Information Service and national government mapping agencies to deliver basemap vector tiles using the latest web mapping technology. (UN Open GIS Initiative, 2022). The UNVT Tile Toolkit is packaged with existing proven open source software that generates, hosts, styles, and optimizes fast, interoperable basemap vector tiles for use in various application frameworks. (The United Nations Vector Tile Toolkit, 2022)

UNVT Portable is a package for RaspberryPi that acts as a hosting server for vector/raster tile maps and can be freely accessed from a web browser in a local network. It is mainly intended to function in an offline environment in the event of a severe disaster. It is possible to combine drone aerial images with OpenStreetMap and various open data prepared in advance and overlay them on a Web browser in municipalities where disaster crisis headquarters have been established. The system is expected to play an active role in use cases to efficiently grasp the situation of the entire disaster area and enable prompt relief and reconstruction work.
