[HOT] (Last?) Update regarding the 7th DRC Ebola outbreak

[Claire Halleux]

Hello Everyone,

In DRC, where the last Ebola outbreak started on August 24th, there hasn't
been any new positive case since the 4th of October! Therefore, tomorrow,
the outbreak is expected to be officially declared over!

Since the beginning of that crisis, most (if not all) accurate maps of the
affected area have displayed OSM data. All the tracing needs expressed by
MSF, OCHA and WFP were taken care of, thanks to the 98 contributors who
took actively part in this response (some of them achieved upto 37
squares!). Thanks again to the HIU #Mapgive project too for filling the
"gaps" with additional imagery.

Some humanitarian organizations are still currently working in the area for
raising awareness or bringing support to the affected communities (food
security, water, sanitation and hygiene).
Remaining tasks (under process) are:

   - Achieving the validation (although this is not high priority anymore),
   see tasks 658 and 661 if interested.
   - Gathering the data that was/is collected on the ground and bringing it
   into OSM.

Congratulations to all OSM contributors who participated to those 9 HOT
tasks (editors, validators and all other supportive volunteers).

Best,

Claire

Re: [HOT] Interesting Isochron Map From WHO

[Rafael Avila Coya]

Impressive, Andrew!

This should be recorded as yet another excellent example of the use of the
data we produce by humanitarian data consumers. It will surely make happier
the volunteers already mapping, and attract new mappers to the HOT jobs.
Thank you,
Rafael.

Re: [HOT] Economist chart

[Charlotte Wolter]

This is one of the best representations of what HOT can do 
that I have ever seen. We should put this on the HOT press page so 
people can see at a glance how effective HOT is. Thnks, Josh.

More good news about HOT. The Economist's daily chart is about the 
Ebola activation. It can be found here:

Keep up the good work y'all.

[HOT] Interesting Isochron Map From WHO

[Andrew Buck]

Hey everyone,

Just got this link to an interesting map put together by WHO using OSM
data and wanted to share it with the list so that you can all see how
your work is being used in the ebola response.  The map at the link
below (note, the link may not be permanent) shows the location of
several ebola testing laboratories in the affected area, but the
interesting part is the colored isochron contours which show the
regions where you can drive to the laboratories in a given length of
time.  There is a isochron for 1 hour, 3 hours, and 5 hours travel
time to the laboratories.

http://maps.who.int/SimpleViewer_WHO/?webmap=adcafab67341461c84961d534316f1ba

Not only does this map use OSM as a background layer, but the
isochrons themselves are actually based off of OSM road network data.
 This shows the kind of versatility that OSM data can provide above
and beyond just rendering maps to look at and print out.  When
combined with population data analyses like these can be invaluable in
deciding where to place new laboratory facilities and can be used by
drivers to easily decide which facility would be the best place to
take a sample to.

We are glad to see analysis like this being done so I want to say
thank you to the WHO for producing it, and of course a big thank you
to all the OSM contributors who helped make it possible.
