Re: [HOT] HOT is activating to map for support of the relief efforts in Sri Lanka

[Robert Banick]

Thank you Blake for managing the original updates while I got some badly
needed sleep.

Everyone, I’ve worked in Sri Lanka on and off for the past year and can
testify that a lot of my friends and co-workers are suffering from the
flooding. My Facebook is full of pictures of cars and houses swamped by
water. It’s also full of people doing good work, including from the
government side. It’s not just the obvious response tasks either: I saw
some great photos just this morning of the local roads authority battling
out in the rains to mark roads with poles so others could navigate and not
get lost.

Point is, Sri Lanka’s government is exactly the kind of strong partner HOT
wants to work with in these emergencies. The Disaster Management Centre of
Sri Lanka is very keen on OpenStreetMap and has invested a lot of effort
over the past few years to figure out how to use OSM for emergency
preparedness. If the HOT community can come together and show them how
useful it is for emergency response as well that would be fantastic.

I hope all of you can find the time to map a little. From my side I’ll try
to make that as easy and productive as possible. Anyone who wants to join
the activation team can just email me and Mikel — we’ll get them added to
the various coordination resources.

Thanks in advance HOT community!

- Robert

[HOT] HOT is activating to map for support of the relief efforts in Sri Lanka

[Blake Girardot HOT/OSM]

Sri Lanka has been hit in the past few days by flooding:
https://www.bing.com/search?q=sri+lanka+flooding

HOT has been asked to activate and immediately start tracing buildings
by the Disaster Management Center (DMC) of Sri Lanka, who work closely
with World Bank GFDRR. They are in urgent need of detailed housing
unit information.

There are links on the HOT Tasking Manager:
http://tasks.hotosm.org/

This is the earliest phase of response so we are actively working to
find other actors on the ground that the HOT Community can collect and
provide geo data for. This means that you should check the front page
of the tasking manager often, different jobs to support different
ground activities might be coming up.

HOT members Robert Banick and Mikel Maron will be leading HOT's
response to this crisis. They can be contacted at:

mikel.ma...@hotosm.org
rban...@gmail.com

For more information visit the 2016 Sri Lanka Floods wiki-page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2016_Sri_Lanka_Floods

If you’d like to help with coordination, speak up, and we’ll bring you
into the Slack channel and Trello.

hi Maning,
very good idea and i think this methodology is an another way where we can
make good response to earthquakes, flood.

thanks!

[HOT] Missing Maps mapping parties in Geneva and Grenoble (France) tonight

[Violaine CartONG]

Hi all,

As you might have seen on Missing Maps website, several mapathons are 
happening tonight.
By our side, we are planning to map Bunia, in RDC *with MSF in Geneva 
and MapTime in Grenoble.*

The task is *#1910*
Then if you want to be a part of it, remotely, please let us know. 
Especially, if you are able/available to help us with some validation, 
we would be very happy to have your support on this.


We will as well try the very interesting (and funny) leaderboard between 
#MissingMapsFrance and #MissingMapsSwitzerland 
. 
So please add the specific hashtag if you are on the game :) 
(#MissingMapsFrance or #MissingMapsSwitzerland on your changeset 
comment) You can choose your team :)


At last, we are actually on several missing maps mapping projects which 
you could help with; (if you have some spare time later, on the 
following days/weeks, you could have a look on these):


*#1808* *Tikrit, In Irak*, /Due to the actual conflict, inhabitants of 
the area run away along Samarra - Tikrit axis. //Thanks to your 
contribution//building OSM datas, Terre des hommes will be able to 
evaluate more easily living conditions of displaced populations, in 
order to plan in a better way their water access and sanitation program 
(toilets, watering places, etc.)/


*#1816;1817;1818* *Bangladesh* : /Due to recurrent flood in the area in 
Bangladesh, knowing the area and so having reliable OSM datas will 
incredibly help in organizing aid.//Terre des hommes works to mitigate 
flooding consequences via Disaster Risk Reduction programm./ It's a very 
interesting environment (residential areas are elevated compared to the 
default soil in order to anticipate floodings)


*#1671* *Harare, Zimbabwe* : /Inhabitants of Harare, the capital of 
Zimbabwe, are facing some important water access problem, especially in 
area of recent settlements surrounding the capital. It leads to 
recurrent water related diseases like typhoid and cholera. MSF is 
currently working with local authorities in order to improve the water 
access in the most critical area. /

Thanks to all, your time is, as always, precious,
Looking forward to this evening!
