Hi all, The folks on the ground in Tanzania and Uganda have the initial project up on the Tasking Manager.
http://tasks.hotosm.org/ It is roads only at this time, but they will be putting up a Bukoba buildings only project shortly. Additional or higher priority areas of concern or AoI's as we call them, may be coming as they get more feedback from the responding agencies. As you may have seen, additional imagery is also being sourced at this time, please use a mix of mapbox and Bing to try and find the best imagery you can. Regards and thank you for helping map! Buildings only mapping coming soon, please check back and check the instructions often, as early in the process like this, the folks on the ground need to refine their priorities and then we need to change our priorities to support them as best we can.
