Hi John Yes, this is important to zoom in enough. This is a tropical country and there is dense vegetation that sometimes partly obscure the buildings. In comparizon, it is easier then to map for the Vanuatu islands where the vegetation is ever more dense.
For these emergencies, the humanitarian organizations need a minimum of information for their logistic of operation. For this task, instructions are to trace outbound of the residential areas and the major buildings plus the highways. Looking at a task that you validated previously, I see that the Bing imagery is clear enough to trace the highways and the outline around the residential areas. http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/969#task/55 Humanitarians plan to use an offline OSMand map to navigate. Maning is in the field interfacing with these organizations. He also added to the instruction panel links to Mapillary video. This help us to understand the context.

The tracks / roads can be difficult to pick out which again makes marking the tile done not easy. Some clusters of housing don't appear to have any roads leading up to them but there is a lot of water around so I assume that is the method of transport. Anyway I've quickly marked a few large landuse=residential on a few tiles so I hope that is of some use. Realistically you need a lot more mappers from somewhere, much of the imagery is good but you need to zoom in. Can you tap the locals in some way? Especially for the requirement about picking out places of worships, schools and public buildings and these need to be done before the tile can be marked done if it is a requirement.; What might help is getting one tile mapped as an example of how you'd like the others mapped.

I just uploaded some mapillary photos to help guide mappers what some of the features look like on the ground. Links are in the Instruction tab of the task [1]. We are hoping the holy week ceasefire will decrease the military offensive [2] but IDP situation on the ground is not any way better. Once again this is not an urgent task nor a formal activation, but we appreciate any help you can extend.
