UN-ASIGN has been developed for the United Nations and is a free-to-use tool for UN OCHA. AnsuR has been working with the UN for over a decade to provide the UN with an optimal disaster management tool. UN-ASIGN is combined with a UN live mapping tool. 

Volunteers and the general public can download UN-ASIGN onto their smartphone and provide in-situ observations of the emergency or crisis they may find themselves in, aiding the UN in developing better situational awareness. These field observations collected through UN-ASIGN are particularly helpful in the evaluations of a crisis situation, complimenting Satellite Earth Observations to provide a comprehensive situational picture.

As a UN Information Management tool, UN-ASIGN is optimized to work under difficult communication conditions with the need for rapid understanding of the data, to provide the most accurate actionable intelligence as soon as possible. 

UN-ASIGN has been used by the UN in a number of situations worldwide, to support emergency decision-making processes, particularly in the critical first few days following a crisis, where telecommunication networks are potentially limited and unstable.
