re: Ebola Outbreak Guinea, West Africa -- Mapping to support Apologies from a HOT newbie, but as retired NGAer (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency--successor to NIMA, DMA & Army Map Service) had some basic observations/questions concerning base mapping:
1. GEOnet Names Server (GNS) is good standardized names source, but probably not more accurate or dense than the 1:250K JOGs that were compiled in the 1950's from 1930's base mapping. Are there other sources that the HOT relies on? Although I can't peruse NGA holdings anymore, the US Library of Congress here in Washington has a very good collection of maps from around the world. Unfortunately very few have been scanned and placed on-line. I can check holdings in the stacks if there is interest. They allow maps to be photographed or scanned but copyright must be respected. 2. Does the HOT use standardized raster population datasets like Landscan or Afripop to augment the vector mapping? It might be helpful in this case.
