Hi Johan,
good news!
But what action should we have taken in case the test turned to be positive?

Ah, I forgot to say that I heard Bing imagery is scarce over
Guinea (eg over Conakry), but I did not check.

Hi,
MSF is working on this crisis:
http://reliefweb.int/report/guinea/ebola-epidemic-declared-guinea-msf-launches-emergency-response
Considering our growing partnerships with them, I would advice
to contact them to know how we could help them the best we
can. The report does not mention which MSF branch is in the
field (FYI, it is the normal way MSF communicates, there are
separate entities but working on the same goals). I know
people from MSF Spain and MSF France through CAR Activation, I
will ask them.
Sincerely,
Severin

Rod,
If there is a way we can provide aid, then yes! I am not
familiar with
either the area or the disease, so not much help there;
but - typically we
might assist the local mapping community (if there is one)
with remotely
tracing the area from available imagery. If there isn't a
local community,
HOT can discuss and potentially provide a remote
coordinator - to get HOT
coordinators on the ground typically requires a partner
organization to
contact us (i...@hotopenstreetmap.org
<mailto:i...@hotopenstreetmap.org>) for assistance.
If you are from the area/concerned for personal interest,
I would first ask
if you know the quality of the map data in the area and if
there is any OSM
community there/how best to reach out; then we can work
out specifics -
really we just need to know our efforts are actually
needed (i.e. people in
need of aid will receive benefit from whatever we do).
Thank you,
=Russ

Subject: [HOT] Ebola in Conakry, Guinea
Hi all,
Is there a way we can assist on this one?
The virus has now reached Conakry. As far as I recall it's
the first
time the disease finds its way to such a populated area...
