MAPS UPDATED MAY 25

With San Francisco on lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus, it’s more challenging than ever for homeless people to find a place to wash up.

We made a simplified, black-and-white map that shows the city’s central hand-washing stations and pit stops. It can be cranked out from any standard home printer.

If you’re out running essential errands, you could post maps in your neighborhood so that people know where to find these crucial services. This is especially important when fundamental resources like public libraries with restrooms are closed. The hand-washing stations cropped up with COVID-19, but pit stops have been around since 2015. Pit Stops include toilets, sinks, needle disposal and dog waste stations.

Here are the maps we’ve done so far, we continue update them as the Department of Public Works adds new ones:

The data comes from the San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (HSH) and Data SF. We made them using QGIS, OCHA humanitarian icons with an assist on the inserts from Stamen’s Toner.

The maps were inspired by the community responder maps we made for the San Francisco Fire Department. Cut out the noise, the color, make them printable from home and you have something good to go in an emergency.

The Google map made by the city looks nice online, but is noisy if you’re trying to navigate by mobile phone — and forget about printing it.

Hopefully, San Francisco will be getting more to come into line with United Nations guidelines for emergencies.

The UN standard is 1 bathroom per 50 ppl during emergencies. There are roughly 5000 people unsheltered on our streets, and many more who are also in need of bathroom access, w most public facilities & coffee shops closed. So we need at least 100 public bathrooms, likely more. — Matt Haney (@MattHaneySF) March 26, 2020
