Hi John,
In general, the tiles are updated to the minute. Looking at my edits this
morning after a few minutes, tiles were refreshed both for the OSM and
Humanitarian layers. I press F5 to refresh the screen and obtain the new tiles
in the navigator.
For OSMAnd, updates may vary. For major activations such as Ebola, we ask
contributors to provide daily updates. For Ebola, see
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2014_West_Africa_Ebola_Response#Offline_Navigation_on_Small_Devices
For custom OSMAnd updates, see

Objet : [OSM-talk] HOT Mapping thoughts
I was talking to someone who worked with one of the Agencies that used the data
in the field and he was saying how great it was.
However he said that the map started to appear after three of four days which
struck me as a little odd.
I understood HOT starts very quickly within hours and since we have mappers
around the world working odd hours there should be something happening very
quickly in the database.
However the rendering means that tiles have to get refreshed, data has to be
packaged for OSMAND etc.
Is there a way the tiles and packaging for HOT areas given priority and done
more frequently or is this already being done?
I also note that in Haiti a sensefly eBee UAV has been used to collect aerial
imaging for OSM mapping. I assume that the procedures have been worked out to
use this device. Could one of the partner agencies UN, or someone with a bit
of cash, be approached to arrange for one to be part of the initial deployment
when a new area to be HOT mapped is decided on?
Many Thanks
Cheerio John
