Re: [HOT] Nepal major road validation

[kusala nine]

I did quick comparison just using names from the distance calculator from
kathmandu (results below) but now moved onto checking using the smaller
network diagram. this lets you concentrate on areas which are in the
current task manager tasks. Just finishd Task 6 last night and they look
pretty good covering Kathmandu, Hetauda, Bharatpur, Palung and Bhampali.
I've since digitised roads in a couple of key tiles based on km distance
discrepancies and when I've finished those I'll move on to task 3. The
triangular distance table is good but points to a lot of discrepancies in
the longer distances which are out of the target zones.  I'm happy to
digitise the triangular table though if anyone wants to try the URL method
to identify areas of difference. I'm using NGAs geonames service to
identify differences in place naming - what should we do when there's a
difference? e.g "Bhainsie = Bhaise Dovan". Can I attribute a synonym?

Re: [HOT] Printable street maps for Nepal.

[Sajjad Anwar]

Hey Prabhas,

We have put together the print maps here
-https://github.com/osmlab/mapbox-studio-humanitarian-print.tm2/issues/1#issuecomment-96844212

I'm going to push to KLL's github and link it.

These are generated using Mapbox Studio and all code is here -
https://github.com/osmlab/mapbox-studio-humanitarian-print.tm2

If you want us to look at other locations, just let me know.

Cheers,
Sajjad.

Thanks everyone. Pierre, your story about new people improving is great. I
know many of us started during an emergency.

For our dear friend and fellow mapper, Ralph. Thank you. I know I was firm
last night, but waking this morning (Doha) I really think you are right
that we need to improve new mapper onboarding during emergencies. So, I
started another email chain about training help.

[HOT] Nepal Earthquake - Training Help

[Heather Leson]

HI Folks, There have been a few emails and comments about training. Some
people are creating training documents (You are awesome!)  Building on
Claire's and the Training Working Group's efforts, I woke up thinking about
how to help some. Truly, the comments last night from Senior Mappers were
important. I really think that we as a community can help the Activation
with some ideas.  To help with the collaborative training, I posted this
Hackpad. It should be editable and viewable by all.* The goal would be to
add this to the wiki and/or blog once more firm.

Collaborative Training Space:
https://hackpad.com/HOT-Nepal-Training-Support-3GupUkChA1n
(edit freely)

*Some ideas:*


   1. Training techniques - Tips for the Nepal Earthquake. Please add clear
   instructions  2 - 5 lines) how issue and how to fix common Edit errors for
   this response. First, we refer people first to the existing docs and
   videos. But quick tips will help learning.


   1. Nepal New Mapper Task Force - Sometimes posting to a forum is hard.
   We highly recommend that you see the online training. The following
   contributors have offered to be the Nepal New Mapper Task Force.
*If you are helper, please let your communication method (Email, skype, irc
   username) , timezone (eg. GMT +3) and hours of availability to help out.
   (add to the hackpad) *


   1. Video help - We could create a quick google hangout/unhangout demo of
   all the top training tips. See details below. Needed: 2 - 3 volunteers on
   this. Heather can host the 30 minute discussion. Date and time to be
   determined.
   2. Training Items being created - If you are working on training
   material, please add the link and /or your name + topic so that folks know
   this is covered by an awesome helper.


1. Training
Please see the OSM Training guides and the Nepal help documents for more
details. These are listed here :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2015_Nepal_earthquake.

There are also Nepal Road guides and other documentation coming soon. These
are tasking manager tips, basic errors, and quick fixes.  These are some
common edit tips and techniques for this response.
 HOW TO USE: Add a subject, description and how to fix. Add your name if
you wish so we can thank you. refine.
...

 2. Nepal New Mapper Task Force - Sometimes  posting to a forum is hard. We
highly recommend that you see the online  training. The following
contributors have offered to be the Nepal New  Mapper Task Force.

 If you are helper, please provide your name, best communication method
(Email, skype, irc username) , timezone (eg. GMT +3) and hours of
availability to help out.

 Name  How to Reach   Time zone   Times available


3.   Video hangout/unhangout

Idea: what if we held a Google Unhangout** online session? This would
record to Youtube and help in the interim for new mappers until the
training docs improve and, as Pierre mentioned, there were tool
improvements.
How a Google/Unhangout works:
MIT set up Unhangout free and OS for those who dont use Google. I host
frequent online interviews on Google Hangout. It records to Youtube. If
there were 1-2 Senior mappers willing to assist, we could host it today  or
tomorrow for a 30 min session. This is instant video sharing showing
issues with screens.

Helpers:
Suggested Date/Times

4. Training guides in the works.


*I would have used a Google Doc but I know some people are not fans.
** an Unhangout provides a way for non-google users to join in a hangout.

Happy to iterate


Heather

 Thanks Heather.

 Would it be worthwhile for me to organise similar workshops? Given the
 issues with inexperienced mappers that have been raised in another thread,
 is there any advice for on-boarding new mappers? I have been directing
 people to micromappers.org, but a few people would be relatively happy
 downloading JOSM and working their way through an OSM HOT task.

Okay, great. I'll see if I can kick something off and make sure that
everyone works within the scope of tasks issued via the Tasking Manager.

Re: [HOT] Kathmandu IDP Camps TM1008 - Validation process

Thanks for taking a look. I was mostly checking on the difference between a
closed way and an area for IDP camp representation; per Pierre it sounds
like the difference is semantic.

Keep up the great work, all!

Re: [HOT] Kathmandu IDP Camps TM1008 - Validation process

[Chad Blevins]

I'm seeing a few ways that aren't closed and don't encompass the entire
open area, only tents.  There are also a bunch of single large tents, I
assume these should be collected as points?

Creating guidance now, should have something by tomorrow. Any input is
appreciated.

Hi Nama,I was also wondering about the ODK for android for citizen reports. 
Not sure if your incident reporting webpage already does it. We could also use 
something like HTML5 based "geo form" that could be cross-platform. We could 
create a QR code on social media or your lab's homepage, and have people scan 
it to launch the geo-enabled web app ( bootstrap).  It can be very functional 
as a light weight app. Anyone could use it. I have done it in ESRI platform, 
but should be doable on OSM too.  If you think this helps, we could make one 
and have OSM as a background. 
Any thoughts, Nama or the team??

Re: [HOT] Kathmandu IDP Camps TM1008 - Validation process

[Nirab Pudasaini]

The app we have developed is a native android app that can take pictures
and geoloaction. The app uses Ushahidi API endpoint and the reports are
displayed at kathmandulivinglabs.org/earthquake . The app can be downloaded
from the play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kathmandulivinglabs.quakereport
.

We also have Prabhas who lead the development of Formhub and currently
working with Ona in our team so quickly deploying ODK form is also not be a
problem if we find it necessary.

Nirab

Re: [HOT] Kathmandu camps or incident reporting

[Kamal]

Hi Nama,
I was also wondering about the ODK for android for citizen reports. 

Not sure if your incident reporting webpage already does it. We could also use 
something like HTML5 based "geo form" that could be cross-platform. We could 
create a QR code on social media or your lab's homepage, and have people scan 
it to launch the geo-enabled web app ( bootstrap).  It can be very functional 
as a light weight app. Anyone could use it. I have done it in ESRI platform, 
but should be doable on OSM too. 
 
If you think this helps, we could make one and have OSM as a background. 

Any thoughts, Nama or the team??

Re: [HOT] #1009 Imagery Failure

Enock,

The imagery service seems to be operating fine.  I've seen a few IO disk
errors, which is typical when concurrently writing thousands of tiles to
disk.  The error rate is not above baseline.  If the imagery service isn't
working, please send more a more detailed error code or log.

Re: [HOT] Fwd: [liberationtech] Map4Nepal@Stanford Information & Introductory Workshop Announcement. Please Forward!

[Tim McNamara]

Thanks Heather.

Would it be worthwhile for me to organise similar workshops? Given the
issues with inexperienced mappers that have been raised in another thread,
is there any advice for on-boarding new mappers? I have been directing
people to micromappers.org, but a few people would be relatively happy
downloading JOSM and working their way through an OSM HOT task.

Nama, do you think you could get them setup with a simple ODK form so we
could encode the data a little faster.

Re: [HOT] Nepal major road validation

[Andy Anderson]

Hi, Andrew,

The documentation says “The results are network distance, i.e. travel-time, in 
10th of seconds.” It’s hard to translate that into distances without the speeds 
assigned to road segments. If one knows the type of road and what the “common” 
speed is for that type of road one can make an estimate, but it could still be 
quite far off. Do you have any guidance on how to get road segment information? 
If one needs to download the road data itself, then the length of the segments 
should be there, too.

Re: [HOT] AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH!

[Pierre Béland]

Andrew
This remembers such experiences for the Ebola outbreak. With a long Activation, 
we saw contributors that did improve rapidly and did a great job. They were in 
the top list of contributors.
This is social gathering, and we have to take care to accompany well the new 
contributors. 

I did make some comments over the last year about improvements to make to our 
monitoring tools. We should surely continue to look at this and assure we have 
the possibility to both keep our reactivity and produce quality mapping.

I understand the frustration.  Some times the newbies do very bad, but
some produce very good data as well.  One thing that we can also do is
load large sections of the country in JOSM with the 'mirrored
download' plugin.  You can then scan over a large area and just check
the roads for major problems like you mention.  Even just a few people
doing this every now and then makes a huge difference.

Remember, the tasking manager is not the only way we have to map.
Experienced people can work on their own, as long as they are mindful
of what they are doing and try a bit to avoid causing conflicts for
other mappers.

I just converted it to an osm [1] file for JOSM. Many of the nodes appear to 
hit the sides of mountains, a fair distance from nearby villages. Of course 
looking at the nodes in towns needs local review to verify if 1) the node is 
positioned accurately and 2) is the location a health facility. 
Looking at just one node, listed as a primary health care facility, it was 150 
meters from a hospital and about 75 from two different pharmacies. 
I don't recommend importing until more review.

This reminds me of where HOT started and the health facility import to OSM

horrible crap in the database (having lived and mapped there for 3 years) that 
has wasted a huge amount of time later on (when trying to figure out how to fix 
it) and still clutters the Haiti map in some places in a rather ugly, by now a 
good amount outdated and also at times pretty significantly inaccurate way (+/- 
2km not being uncommon). 
Best intentions and horrible outcomes do at times go hand in hand. That's not 
the end of things in itself -- but we need to learn from experience especially 
when it's been significantly sub-optimal.
This said, locals / people with sound local knowledge need to evaluate accuracy.

Important to verify the opendata license. There are often restrictions and we 
cannot import unless a signed agreement. Also some evaluation has to be made

Re: [HOT] Nepal major road validation

The OSRM distance table calculator is documented here...

https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/wiki/Server-api#distance-ta
bles

Basically you feed it a url with a bunch of lat/lon pairs are
parameters (say for the 10 largest cities in the area) and then it
creates a 10x10 table of the distances from every city to every other
city.  So we can duplicate the table in the top right corner of the
PDF, we just need someone to get the lat/lon of each of those cities
and feed them into the api call documented above.  If our distances
are signifigantly greater than the PDF distances listed for any
entries then that probably indicates a problem in our data on the road
between those cities.

Re: [HOT] Printable street maps for Nepal.

[Prabhas Pokharel]

Thanks guys, this is awesome help!

We've coordinated with Sajjad and Arun and have identified a set of steps
to move the printed quake-maps forward, they have push access on the Kll
repo.
I've also passed them a set of prioritized POIs that we will review /
iterate on with local relief orgs in the coming days.

Re: [HOT] WHO Healthcare Data

[Jaakko Helleranta]

Yes, and yes to Pierre's notes on license and accuracy evaluation!

This reminds me of where HOT started and the health facility import to OSM
after the Haiti quake of 2010. That resulted in some good data but also
some horrible crap in the database (having lived and mapped there for 3
years) that has wasted a huge amount of time later on (when trying to
figure out how to fix it) and still clutters the Haiti map in some places
in a rather ugly, by now a good amount outdated and also at times pretty
significantly inaccurate way (+/- 2km not being uncommon).

Best intentions and horrible outcomes do at times go hand in hand. That's
not the end of things in itself -- but we need to learn from experience
especially when it's been significantly sub-optimal.

This said, locals / people with sound local knowledge need to evaluate
accuracy.

Cheers,
-Jaakko

Beginning at Noon, today (Monday, April 27th)I will be relocating from my
office to the *Stanford Geospatial Center Teaching Corner* in order to help
support those who are interested in contributing to mapping efforts for
disaster relief, in Nepal. The Stanford Geospatial Center Teaching Corner
is located in the Northwest Corner of the Mitchell Earth Science Building,
on the 2nd floor, in the Branner Earth Sciences Library.


Anyone with a laptop and spare time is welcome to come to the Library and
any of the *Introductory Relief Mapping *sessions I will be holding. *You

Mapping4Nepal@Stanford Introductory Workshops

I'll be updating this page as I schedule new workshops to introduce
volunteers to the basics of using the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Task
Manager  and the Tomnod
 to
contribute to relief mapping for Nepal.
The first Introduction to OpenStreetMap.org and the Task Manager will be
held *TONIGHT, Monday April 27th, from 6pm to 7pm*Basic Information for
Contributing *RIGHT NOW*

If you want to contribute IMMEDIATELY to ongoing Humanitarian Mapping
efforts for Nepal through Humanitarian OpenStreetMap.org, please do the
following:


Go through the 30 minute training on http://mapgive.state.gov to learn the
basics of humanitarian mapping using OpenStreetMap.org


Then go to the HOTOSM Task Manager at http://tasks.hotosm.org/ and select a
job that you feel comfortable contributing to. Read the directions
carefully for the job, then select one of the squares next to one that is
marked as complete. This will allow you to pan to the completed square so
you can see how others are digitizing the features and mimic their work.


It doesn't matter how long you work, or how many features you digitize.
There are currently hundreds of people mapping on HOTOSM for the Nepal
Earthquake.Every edit counts.

You can also help assess damage, as new imagery becomes available. See this
DigitalGlobe post

[HOT] tool - calculate population of any given area in Nepal

[Anand Thakker]

Hi All,

We built a quick tool to calculate the population of any area in Nepal
. Just draw the bounding box of the area that
you want to assess and we return the total population and population
density of that area. We hope that it can be helpful in planning response
efforts.



The tool uses high resolution population information of Nepal from Worldpop
. If you prefer, you can download the foll
dataset from Worldpop

.

*A few caveats -* It currently *only works in Chrome*. This is an
unofficial beta. Expect bugs and frequent changes. The code is open source;
we welcome forks and contributions and feedback on github
.


Thanks,
Anand

Re: [HOT] WHO Healthcare Data

[Pierre Béland]

arun
Important to verify the opendata license. There are often restrictions and we 
cannot import unless a signed agreement. Also some evaluation has to be made 
about the quality of the data. Nama and Kathmandu Living Lab folks would be the 
best persons to answer that.

link, but thought i'll pass it on anyway.

Data contains 8974 points with attributes of facility type (hospital,

Re: [HOT] Today's Kathmendu Pleiades satellite imagery available online

[Florian LAINEZ]

Hi all,
I begun to trace the area looking at the tents and I found a lot of
structures with the colour red that are new.
See for example this one https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/340978118 on the
Airbus imagery.

It could be that they are tents but they look very squared to me, maybe too
much.
As I found several of them I wonder if they are tents or maybe a piece of
metal that the people set up after the earthquake to stand under.
Do you think I should map it as a "spontaneous camp" too?

Re: [HOT] http://hot.osm.org/ - Different Page/No redirect ?

[Andreas Goss]

And just found http://hotosm.org/ also exists.

So seems to be a bigger issue, but I think you should decide if you want 
hot.openstreetmap.org or hotosm.org.

[HOT] http://hot.osm.org/ - Different Page/No redirect ?

[Andreas Goss]

I was just browsing the web when I found a page linking to 
http://hot.osm.org/


And I was wait... that looks different than what I saw 15min ago.

Not sure what's exactly going on, but I feel like that should just 
redirect to hot.openstreetmap.org so there isn't any duplicate content 
and well just for SEO purpose, too ;)

Re: [HOT] DigitalGlobe Imagery for Nepal

[Cristiano Giovando]

Awesome Kevin! Would you have a live feed (JSON or KML) with info
about cloud cover (and other metadata) for each scene as it gets
added? Otherwise a daily shapefile could work too. It would help to
prioritize areas and define tasks. Thanks much!

Re: [HOT] AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH!

[Heather Leson]

Thanks Ralph, Pierre, Nama and Pete.

Ralph, I think that the process for learning is hard and that our
activation processes do need work. This is why I am so excited that some
people are meeting this week for the Activation Team and then for the HOT
Summit. We will get there. I would only ask that you warmly welcome new
people more. It is hard to learn and your note might have made them feel
not welcome.

Pierre, Absolutely, we all need to take care. I, too, and starting to feel
the strain of crisis actions. I will share some more about this tomorrow as
I promised myself that I would log off after work, have a meal, and go for
a walk. Health matters.

Pete, I am not sure this is the time to decide.


Nama - I agree that maybe we need to have a validation work around. Perhaps
someone can help on that? Many of you are so very experienced in this.

All - HOT is an open community. All of us have different skills and
skill-sets, we come from different cultures and are global. This is what
makes us amazing, and it is also hard. For all the new mappers, please do
read the guides and ask questions on the various channels. There are so
many mappers here. It should always be a safe place to ask a question on
the mailing list or IRC or mumble. This is part of the learning journey.
Yes, we have some changes to make and we will do so, but we are very much
guided by our Code of Conduct and our desire to grow and support people
with maps.



Thank you

Heather

I try to make updates as often as I can.

My map has a slightly different look (like topo maps) and it has
optional height contour lines (from SRTM). Might be useful to some
people there. It is divided into several map layers (OSM data, SRTM
contours, buildings. These can be switched on and off in the gps device.
I offer one version for older Garmin devices with one gmapsupp.img
containing all layers as different family IDs and one version which has
a seperate IMG file for every layer. This version works on the newer
devices which can handle more than one IMG file at a time.

Re: [HOT] AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH!

[Nama Budhathoki]

Hi Aytoun,

You bring serious concern. I can understand your concern from our past
experience working with inexperienced mappers from some universities.

Please understand that we are so busy here in the field that we hardly have
time to look at the quality of the data. Hope others will through their
ideas on how to handle the situation.

It is good that more people are interested to help. But we need data that
is useful in rescue,relief and recovery work.

Nama

Re: [HOT] DigitalGlobe Imagery for Nepal

[Chris Braun]

Dear Kevin and DigitalGlobe Team,

This is wonderful is DigitalGlobe can provide high res images of the 
affected areas. I checked on Kathmandu but indeed the latest images are 
still very cloudy.


Is there somewhere a list of the new images made progressively available 
so that one can check which areas are being added at which time?


I am particularly interested in the area of Timure village (Rasuwa 
District) North of Kathmandu close to the Chinese border:

https://services.digitalglobe.com/myDigitalGlobe/#16/28.2539/85.3677

The latest DigitalGlobe image there dates back from 2012. There are 
currently 20-30 trekkers there waiting to come back to Kathmandu but 
apparently they are not sure the road is practicable all along the way. 
Recent high res imagery -if not too cloudy- would be super helpful for them.


Thanks,
Chris

Re: [HOT] AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH!

[Pierre Béland]

Ralph,

Crisis management, redundance, and yes sometimes frustrating. But we have to 
keep our positive energy after running non stop since saturday morning. 
Crowdsourcing, we evolve from these experiences in context of crisis.

We would surely need a validation process that let's focus on the less 
experienced contributors. 
I wonder if such information could be extracted from the Task manager - Tasks 
completed by contributors less then xx months of experience ??
Should we have a team of validators that work together and identify ways to go 
on with validation and assure both quick response and quality?

It's a fair point, Ralph.

I will ask on the Missing Maps platforms that people not contribute if this
is their first time mapping.

It might be good to put a note on the description and instructions on the
tasks: EXPERIENCED MAPPERS ONLY

Happy to do this if you guys think it's a good way to go...

Hey Prabhas,

All the info you relayed have been posted in this ticket -
https://github.com/osmlab/mapbox-studio-humanitarian-print.tm2/issues/1

Aaron and Amy from Mapbox are working on it and we'll have something
soon to share. We can either push them to KLL repo or just link it
from the website, depending on the process.

Talk soon.

Take care.
Sajjad.

Hi All,
Kathmandu Living Labs took the time to compile a really useful tagging guide 
specific to Nepal. 
There’s one specific tagging guide for roads here: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nepal/Roads
There’s a more general Nepal tagging guide here: 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmYd3Y40Dfk8dGk4TzgtVmE5RExMVGNncEEzb2JtSHc&usp=drive_web#gid=0
I would strongly recommend following KLL’s guidelines wherever possible, they 
put a lot of thought into crafting a tagging scheme specific to Nepal’s context.
And for those who don’t know, a galli is an alley. Very useful word in 
Kathmandu :)

There seems to be inconsistencies in how the roads are classified, with many 
National Highways being marked as trunk, primary, secondary, tertiary and even 
unclassified.
Based on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nepal/Roads#Road_Classification and 
my own experience with roads in India, the tagging should probably be more like 
this:
Trunk National Highway (ref=H##): trunkFeeder Roads (ref=F##): primaryDistrict 
Roads (ref=D##): secondary
used with appropriate surface=* tag
Can someone from the ground make any recommendations based on practical use? 
There does not seem to be any comprehensive documentation of how the existing

[HOT] Nepal major road validation

[Pierre Béland]

http://un.org.np/node/10028, shows road distance of major cities from 
kathmandu. Look at the pdf files that shows distance of various road segments.
Any volunteer to use this data and compare with OSRM's distance matrix tool? If 
distances are significantly different, this would indicate missing connecting 
roads or wrong tag like path.

Re: [HOT] URGENT: Need OSMand files for Nepal

[Pierre Béland]

Daniel 

At this point we have to organize the data collection. Blocks roads, we need to 
establish a way to collect from various sources and update the info.

Jean-Guilhem Cailton started to organize a few hours a go a Skype group to 
discuss about routing. It would be good that groups that have the capacity to 
gather infos about road conditions take contact with us.  I read that WFP is to 
make road damage assessment. These infos could be very useful.

So I'm pouring over this information.  I guess what I'm missing - what should I 
look for to determine how roads, airfields, etc. have been affected by the 
earthquake and aftershocks?  I work for logisticians, so they're curious how 
they would move stuff (air/land/waterways).


A more precise answer is that we don't have that level of information yet 
(particularly blocked roads/etc); but as new imagery and others in the field 
become available it will start to be collected.
Priorities tend to be road network first, followed by buildings; residential 
areas, etc and other requests by organizations on the ground. 
I think we've been requested this time to cover some potential helicopter 
landing sites, though it's unclear how effective that is (past activations have 
captured this, but some have been overgrown, etc by the time people got there - 
uh, anyone with a less anecdotal recollection of this, please chime in!).


A good way to preview some of the data is a tool called "overpass turbo". 
Some quick examples:http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/91y - landuse=residential
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/91z - amenity=hospital
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/91A - amenity=fuel (gas station most of the time)
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/91B - aeroways (airfields, helipads, etc)

This gives you a preview of what can be done in heavier weight tools with full 
data dumps; and the "wizard" makes it fairly easy to query/export/etc.
To help work out what kinds of tags you want to look for beyond the stuff 
mentioned in the wiki:https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/


In terms of damage to those facilities, 
http://kathmandulivinglabs.org/earthquake/main may be the best bet for getting 
reports; though it won't necessarily focus on the specifics places you are 
interested in.

[HOT] Road classification system in Nepal

[Arun Ganesh]

There seems to be inconsistencies in how the roads are classified, with
many National Highways being marked as trunk, primary, secondary, tertiary
and even unclassified.

Based on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nepal/Roads#Road_Classification
and my own experience with roads in India, the tagging should probably be
more like this:

Trunk National Highway (ref=H##): trunk
Feeder Roads (ref=F##): primary
District Roads (ref=D##): secondary

used with appropriate surface=* tag

Can someone from the ground make any recommendations based on practical
use? There does not seem to be any comprehensive documentation of how the
existing tagging scheme came about and it looks quite messy.
