All, Just wanted to announce the creation of a new mapping task in the Kyrgyz Republic focused on seismic risk assessment ( http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1235). The project is funded by the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery, managed by World Bank and implemented by ARUP (and partners) and includes seismic risk modeling to better understand and manage earthquake risks.
The unique element to this task is that the resulting OSM data will be directly integrated into a seismic risk model which will be used by the Kyrgyz Republic Government for decision making on risk reduction and preparedness. Additionally the OSM building data will be assessed on the ground and combined with a unique "streetview" type of imagery data. We hope that some of you can help out with the building mapping for this task, and help us test the methodological advancement of using OSM data for risk assessment.
