Hi Blake, all, Just to let you know MapAction deployed a two person team yesterday to support the UNDAC team in Barbados and we are send a team out to Haiti this evening.
Where we can we'll feedback anything useful to you all. Regards, Matt Matt Sims Deployments Coordinator Mapping for people in crisis Clare Charity Centre, Wycombe Road, Saunderton, Buckinghamshire HP14 4BF t: +44 (0)1494 568 899 | s: macsims4780 mapaction.org | mas...@mapaction.org -----Original Message----- From: Blake Girardot HOT/OSM [mailto:blake.girar...@hotosm.org] Sent: 07 September 2017 08:08 To: HOT Subject: [MissingMaps] HOT is activating for Hurricane Irma Dear friends, HOT has activated to support the Hurricane Irma response. We have good contacts with local responding organizations and international responding orgs. I am working on announcing it more widely, it was just done in the last few hours and trying to get people to help with the activation. We are working through the assessment of the activation protocol, but considering all of the current situation, it is affecting a wide scale area, a storm of great magnitude and we have good contacts with responding organizations. We do not have any specific requests yet. We reviewed Copernicus covered delineation maps and Copernicus rated as no damage and they were well mapped. We are working off of the various hurricane forecasting products, like the National Hurricane Center to focus and prioritize the mapping while we monitor the international local response channels for help with prioritization. Expect projects to change fast and often the priory area in a project will change, please review instructions often as they may keep you updated on the project. We have focused so far on the Leeward Islands, which were already very well mapped, but we have filled in, fixed minor issues and validated 3 island groups so far which will be pushed to HDX OpenStreetMap US has also started reviewing road data in the most likely affect counties. Please spread the word. The URL for Irma projects is: http://bit.ly/IrmaMapProjects The tweet announcing it to retweet is: https://twitter.com/hotosm/status/905612899867119616 Dale, Nate, Mhairi and myself are working the activation primarily. The coordination channel is on our slack, but we are happy to keep IRC updated as well. Join the team ( https://hotosm-slack.herokuapp.com/ ) and then /join #disaster-mapping if you want to help with or watch the activation coordination. Mhairi created the OSM wiki page for this activation: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2017_Hurricane_Irma I believe that the Haiti-Talk list has some traffic related to prep for how this might affect Haiti and it would be really helpful if speakers of French would join that list to help keep the two communities well connected.
