Re: [HOT] Collaboration OSM México and Gov of MX for doing Mapping methodology for Disaster prevention

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Thank you Robert,

Great!  I see a potential collaboration initiative from here, maybe
Ahasanul and Manning could be part of a International Advisory Council for
wind disasters that include a wiki page with tags especializad in this type
of events?

Re: [HOT] Collaboration OSM México and Gov of MX for doing Mapping methodology for Disaster prevention

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Dear Miriam,

last year, just few days after earthquake hit in Ecuador, I present a
research proposal to Instituto Panamericano de Geografía e Historia (IPGH)
to help with the installation of a geographic open data creation process,
based on the past experiences of activations in the LatinAmerica region (in
Colombia start in 2010
,
in 2015 we win an honorific mention from UN OCHA during the World
Humanitarian Day celebration for national activation in Salgar, Antioquia
 project).

I just checked a few minutes ago and now I have the pleasure to announce
that the proposal was accepted (only cover travel expenses and similar, so
it is a volunteer activity)

http://www.ipgh.org/asistencia-tecnica/proyectos-2017/pat-aprob-cart-2017.html

The proposal is leaded by Costa Rica; but other three countries are
included: Ecuador, Uruguay and México.

I think Miriam that we can joint efforts in the same direction, because
Estrategia Digital Nacional and Secretaria Nacional de Educación of México
are part of the proposal.

Shelters (organized or spontaneous) are key for disaster datasets, are part
of the UN OCHA FOD's

and last year we create a wiki page for Ecuador about how to map it:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ES:WikiProject_Ecuador/2016_Earthquake_Tags

Exists several sources and ways to map shelters, about for sure we can talk.

Warm regards,

Humberto Yances

Re: [HOT] Videos online

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Hello HOT Community,

some of you has asked about the slum mapping project methodology that we
present in the HOT Summit 2.  In the mean while the totally of the videos
get finally processed and published by the summit team, you can see a new
presentation (in spanish) of the project here:

https://livestream.com/Udearroba-Virtual-UdeA/events/4535560
(time 47:30)

This was during the recent GIS Day at Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia.

Greetings,

Humberto Yances

PS: Dear summit team: If exists problems with the videos, maybe the slides
can be published instead?

Re: [HOT] happy one year anniversary to YouthMappers and thank you HOT!

[hyan...@gmail.com]

In the name of OSM community in Colombia, I just want to give a deep thanks
to Patricia, Chad, Mayro, Carrie and all the wonderful and united team of
YouthMappers, to give us the opportunity to create close to 200 new
humanitarian mappers in the country, contributing with relevant projects
for the peace process (ejem, there is a new agreement on the way with
adjustments :-P) and key data for humanitarian crisis in the country, at
the same time connect social responsibility of students with the mapping in
other parts of the world.

It was very dynamic and enjoyable work with yours, I want to be more
extensive; but more than words the thanks will come with the further
outcomes.

Long live to YouthMappers!

Re: [HOT] Congratulations to YouthMappers at Universidad de Antioquia of Colombia

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Thank you Heather,

my pleasure to help through YouthMappers with the growth of OSM community
in Colombia.  Natalia Arruda was my partner in crime for the slum mapping
pilot project at Isla de León, Cartagena in 2015.  Thanks to the map they
receive his official recognition as a Community Action Board, now they have
the right to access to public services, etc.  So, happy to see Natalia now
leading at Universidad de Antioquia with OSM.

There is now a total of 5 universities linked to YouthMappers program in
the country.  We hope to have a more close relationships with government
institutions too, specially those related to Risk Management:

Re: [HOT] Need a smartphone/camera for your project? Mapillary Humanitarian Mapping Kit

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Great! In my humble opinion I see this as a natural way, good step and a
better (institutional) approach -- than individuals sending second hand
smartphones to OSM communities in latin america --, specially those
proposing to create humanitarian projects for the purpose to test the
applications or create app communities.  I mean, humanitarian and
development objectives are first.

About using smartphones to maps slums here are some experiences:

OK, I guess the issue is when you create a project uploading a polygon

reviewing logs maybe is related with ​"POST /project/grid_simulate

John,

I feel you are right with your point to coaching mappers, a way to do this
is through comments in the task.  For lucky or common practice, must of
Mapathons has been carry out with students.   I will share with Telegram
chats about this idea to do the following.

Principal validations focus is on the ways and his state.

Thanks,

Cool Dale! Umap or similar will help.

A little update: the imagery servers are in Ecuador, yesterday they have a
peak ~200 concurrent mappers, this drive to a server upgrade.  Despite
level of mappers is lower today, this can may vary, so thank you very much
for this new avaible resource as back up.

Greetings,

Humberto

Re: [HOT] Pleiades images (was: Ecuador - More Projects?)

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Oh yes,

In the telegram chat, we are in close collaboration with goverment
institutions in Ecuador, they are heavily supporting with data sources and
hardware to delivery imagery services for massive contributors concurrence
in HOT-TM.  Cristiano and others are already in this chat.

Just to repase the workflow, we analyze every piece of imagery avaible to
then select geojson to open new projects, following a mapping strategy
(from pre to post event).  Thanks to every institution helping here, we
really need of all.

Umap update will be helpful, we are using GIS in this moment to decide wich
is the next image to come out.

Thanks,

Humberto Yances

Good morning everyone,

Dale, fantastic, this is already in trello or Umap?  We have several
imagery avaible, even post-event, so these tools will help to take
decitions.  Do you have a footprint of imagery listed to create a Umap
layer?

Thanks to every contributor for your edits! We has improved imagery for
your traces and will keep delivering with this quality goal in mind.

Thanks again,

Humberto Yances

Re: [HOT] #EcuadorMapping: Tags for broken roads or bridges

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Thanks Russell,

this morning with Melanie Eckle (from
http://openls.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/disaster/ ) agreeded to use for the
routing service:

*Broken roads/bridges tags:* Create a small way segment where your evidence
a place where road/bridge is broken and then add to this small segment this
tag::

   - *status=impassable*

I'll let know to OSM Ecuador comminity to do mantaining to this data, onces
ways get fixed.

Dear all,

Please, for post-event mapping projects we need to identify broken roads or
bridges, I've take a look to

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Tags/HDM_preset

with any luck (maybe more eyes can found it)

Any suggestion?

Thanks!  Regarding this last one, a group of mappers in Manta, Ecuador is
planning to take data from the field using mapillary/osmtracker/osmand.

***Help needed:***  Any post-quake mapper expert on the field to help guide
this iniciative.  Ecuatorian mappers from other places are in this
engagement too, so is possible other populated centers can has updated data.

I already share with them a best practices/learned lessons document from
UNOCHA in Nepal.

All this will be for post-event strategy data, so firts we are ending with
pre-event imagery with TM openned projects.

Excellent (firme) Ariel!

I'll share this with coordination chat in Telegram (group
https://telegram.me/joinchat/AIXg3D5SAe6Sft9G5r8lmA or you can go to
https://web.telegram.org and type group name "Mapeando Ecuador")

and publish on the wiki
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ES:2016_Ecuador_earthquake> too.

I've create and Export task, updated periodically
<http://export.hotosm.org/en/exports/03c7d148-6ddb-4593-9807-57c7a0620899/>.

Level of deceased people is rising, close to 300 yesterday; but level of
destruction in coastal populated areas is significant.  Please keep mapping!

Saludos fraternales,

Humberto

Cool John!

So, Mapbox could be the switching option when Bing is not present in actual

Re: [HOT] A Fiji project for experienced mappers interested in a new damage assessment methodology

Thanks Blake,

I see this as an opportinity for do a laboratory for this metodology as a
learning/knowledge creation to further apply, as a paralell commision that
later can serve as a feed to activation protocol indeed.

Lets start thinking that way to found how sinergy can arise.

Re: [HOT] Cat-5 Hurricane Patricia heading to Mexican Pacific Coast

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

here is the same document translated to spanish that was used during
landslides in Salgar, Colombia (you can copy and adapt):

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tgDphn6dQMBRWU-psUzc-ieyu3UpRrGTjhOPJ0isSJM/edit?usp=sharing

Rafael, I'm not so expert with imports, just thinking with another hut:
what about if a raster image is created from the data and then used to
create derivate data (by tracing)?  Each image (with points, vectors or
polygons) could be a set of themes --by colors-- (cod, fod or any other
pertinent geospatial object).

Rodolfo, do you think is possible to contact agriculture (or other
private/public) institutions that may have aerial imagery that can be used
for a potential disaster?

There are some field pictures in mapillary that maybe can help:

https://www.mapillary.com/map/search/16.903176634591702/-99.1884312967026/8
(maybe
you can deploy a fast mission with vehicules before hurricane arrives).

Best,

Humberto

[HOT] MAP, cambiando la forma de vida de los asentamientos informales

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Hola hotties!

Les comparto el vídeo del proyecto (piloto) Map Cartagena de TECHO[1],
divulgado en TEDxUTB, donde se aplicó la metodología y herramientas del
HOTOSM:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pzS7quXzAo

Un proyecto validado, de bajo costo y fácilmente replicable, con el
potencial de crear y divulgar datos claves para cambiar la forma de vida en
los asentamientos precarios.

Saludos,

Humberto Yances

Re: [HOT] Request for mapping: Colombia - Venezuela border crossings / solicita HOT por crisis en frontera colombo-venezolana

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Thank you Blake, that's right.

Hi Katja, (to give a better idea of the situation and initial purpose of
the map) 70% of deported people doesn't have a formal shelter for a
temporal stay, so they can receive proper attention by humanitarian action
on the field. We need to find this buildings like schools, hospitals or
churches that can serve to this porpouse.  Roads/paths are required for
logistics.

This is a map of actual (filled) shelters:
http://geonode.salahumanitaria.co/layers/geonode%3Aalbergues_ntesantander

We are coordinating with people on the field to confirm if any of the new
buildings traced correspond to one of those temporary shelter types, so
please continue tracing and please share your doubts or comments.

Thanks!

Humberto

PD: Everyday arrive more people, so open areas tracing is a desired plus.

Hola Miriam!

¿Cómo estás? Para los deslizamientos en Salgar preparamos vídeos como

Thank you Blake, Robert and Felix!  This is a new recognition about HOT
value based in this wonderful mix of social and technology innovation in
humanitarian context.  Specially to this dedicated-passion mappers in
Colombia, that beyond than aerial imagery tracing, get ready to go on the
field to gather ground-truth data and high resolution post-disaster imagery
using drones.

Felix, you can see project presentation form here:

[HOT] Drones imagery for post-disaster and development mapping

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Hi hotties!

First, I just want to share this two links about Salgar post-disaster
imagery using drones:

(in spanish)
http://geodrone.co/2015/06/salgar/
http://www.elespectador.com/opinion/sirven-los-drones

16 articulated institutions (and counting) made (in general) mapping Salgar
possible, from flight tickets to aerial pictures!  This as a result of two
main objectives for this activation: 1) strength number of qualified
mappers and; 2) strength relationships with national institutions in
Colombia.

Second, based on (beginning) experience, drones are suitable for
small/medium disaster areas (~10 --> 50 KM2) and for long duration mapping
projects (for disaster or development).  For disaster situation with
irregular and unstable terrain, rotor/copter drones could work better; for
development mapping, fix wings drones like Aero-M (3D-Robotics), could do
the job with less time and effort.

The press article in El Espectador focus on drones security regulations,
for Salgar, first attempt was aborted because President of Colombia visit
to the disaster place (a town where previous Colombia President, Alvaro
Uribe Vélez rise up), despite civic resources were spent, the on filed team
had support for crisis management institutions and for the time of the
drone flight President still doesn't arrive! So, the question is about how
this regulations must be shaped for crisis mapping situations.

Best!

Re: [HOT] Presenting HOT in a short video

Yes, I think we can include more content for (one/both) HOT video(s), maybe
a crowdsourcing campaign to collect media pieces (text, pictures, audios,
videos) about activities carried out in different latitudes?

We do this to communicate about intermediate results of slum mapping pilot
project at Isla de Leon

Wao!  From 14% to 22% in just one day!  Thank you very much for your
continuous contributions.

Yesterday successfully pictures were taken using drones with less than
5cm/pixel (please see a sample here
<https://www.dropbox.com/s/jf6gfh30j34h8c9/hospital.JPG?dl=0>), we are now
in post process so be able to start with post-disaster imagery mapping!

Thanks again for your contribution to end ASAP with pre-disaster imagery.

[HOT] Landslides in Salgar, Colombia, needs your help

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Hi hotties!

We need your help to end task#14 for pre-disaster map of Salgar, Antioquia,
Colombia.

http://tareas.openstreetmap.co/project/14

To get more details please refer to:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2015_Salgar_Colombia_landslide

While the population of Salgar rested on 18 May (holiday Monday), about 3
am, the overflow of the stream La Liboriana because dammed waters after
heavy rain (common cause of flooding in Colombia), it broke the dream of
this community that woke up in the nightmare of a sea of watery mud that
flooded and dragged their homes downstream. After days of intense activity
for the rescue of lives, the official toll is 93 people dead.

There are still disaster and new landslides risk areas unmapped, we receive
high resolution imagery from "National Federation of Cofee" that cover this
areas.

Many thanks for your contribution,

Re: [HOT] FW: buildings were deleted

Don't worry, I guess this could be a one time issue for a crisis mapper .
A way to avoid this --shorts moments of anguish-- is always check if data
are avaible (with ID, JOSM or layer button in OSM frontend).

Re: [HOT] Nepal Earthquake - Experienced JOSM users needed : Pilot task to trace helicopter landing in remote areas

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Very versatile some of this helicopters!  Based on the information gived
from this pictures, maybe "aeroway=helipad" poligons radio could be less
than 30 mts (task#1026); so increase probability for more aerial rescue
areas?

I think a better aproach to this could be update previous polygon tags,

Beautiful image! Thanks a lot Jean!  We are ready for mapping party! :-D
 (Then measure irregular construction dynamics between 2012 - 2015).

Fred, a track can be found here:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Humberto_Yances/traces/1914894

JOSM show more tracks in the area; plus we are waiting for a ballon mapping
kit, so ASAP I'll send you tracks as described.

Yes, for pilot project we want to compare between drone - ballon aerial
pictures.

Thanks Frederic! Really inspiring OSM Haiti community outcomes, I'll

Sure these methodology will fit in Colombia slums too, floods are a common

[HOT] HOT and Open Data Day

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Hi Hotties!

Tomorrow is the Open Data Day [1], a global collective iniciative to aim
data liberation, visualization and analysis.  As you may have clear, OSM
data corresponds to Open Data definition; so it could be a good excuse to
intesify map editing in Task Manager (or other cool activities).

Some of HOT members will carry out hackatons and mapping parties, a list of
complete actions is listed in this map:

http://opendataday.org/map/

¿Anyone more to join?

Hi Leonardo!  Hi Hotties!

Leonardo is doing a grate job during some years ago with students of last
secondary school level, civic and public organizations to trace on OSM and
apply this data for social studies purpouses, capturing remote data from
mobile devices and publish statistical results in Mapbox instances.

I guess Leonardo, you are looking for a tool to help mapping coordination
with dozens of students, I'm right?  Please send tracebacks of the error,
so maybe Tech WG can address a possible solution for AWS deployment of Task
Manager.

Re: [HOT] Coberturas Landsat8 de Bolivia / was Bolivian Floods

Excelente Jean-Guilhem:

La cobertura de las imágenes es prácticamente todo el país!

http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/260864539

El propósito de estas es alimentar la capa base antes de las inundaciones,
sobre la cual proyectar los polígonos de inundación con las imágenes más
recientes que se obtengan.

Nos ayudarán a trazar vías, ríos, cuerpos de agua, bosques, áreas
residenciales y rurales.

Existen tres Areas de Interés (AOI) requeridas no cubiertas por Bing en la
cuales puede ser usada Landsat8:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=riberalta#map=14/-11.0091/-66.0544&layers=HN
http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=cliza#map=14/-17.5939/-65.9340&layers=HN

Excellent Jean-Guilhem:

Coverage of the images is almost the entire country!

http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/260864539

The purpose of these is to feed the base layer before the floods, on which
project the flood polygons with the latest images to be obtained.

It will help to trace routes, rivers, water bodies, forests, residential
and rural areas.

Three required Areas of Interest (AOI) are not covered by Bing in which can
be used Landsat8:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=riberalta # map =
14/-11.0091/-66.0544 & layers = HN
http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=cliza # map =
14/-17.5939/-65.9340 & layers = HN
http://www.openstreetmap.org/ # map = 14/-14.4321/-67.5363

Excellente Jean-Guilhem:

Couverture des images est presque tout le pays!

http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/260864539

Le but de ces derniers est de nourrir la couche de base de données avant
les inondations, qui se projettent sur les polygones d'inondation avec
les dernières images à obtenir.

Il vous aidera à tracer des routes, rivières, plans d'eau, des forêts, des
résidences et des zones rurales.

Obligatoires Trois zones d'intérêt (AOI) ne sont pas couverts par Bing qui
peut être utilisé dans Landsat8:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=riberalta # map =

[HOT] Bolivian Floods: "landuse=forest" or "natural=wood"?

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Hi hotties!

Some of us are tracing polygons over tree areas, ones are using
"landuse=forest" others "natural=wood" ¿which you consider more indicated?
Mapping trees could be helpful for high level floods.

By the way, trying to give answer to question below, I'm wondering about
the best communication channel to gather all mappers of the task, when they
are comming form diferent countries and talk-xx mailing list, some could be
missing information and sharing knwoledge about best mapping practices is a
key factor for quality data (specially remote one); so experienced mappers
could guide newers.

Just arise the idea to include a chat in task page

http://awesomescreenshot.com/0862bsmr30

But, in present ¿any suggestion?

Best,

Humberto Yances

Hello, exactory. I think so too.

I wrote them as same as surrounding "landuse=forest"s. But must be
represented as "natural=forest".

Did you contact other mappers already?

Maybe we can use Bing Imagery + traces to fix offset? I already uploaded

Re: [HOT] Remote mapping tagging

At north-east of Pikini near to the shore, it seems like landuse=farm
(rural), I ask if the most appropiate tag is:

highway=track  http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtrack (where
tracktype=grade1 involves paving)

Here some pictures of highways in Dakar during past floods:

Re: [HOT] Senegal - Dakar Flooding Activation

[hyan...@gmail.com]

¿How to mantain a relation between flood ocurrence and frontier/high?
 Sometimes in developing world construction companies arise (not stilt)
houses in areas where floods has ocurred!  I -- modestly -- think if we put
evidence of flood (hazard) frontier over time (made and know by grassroots)
could help to avoid this kind of situations.

¿Should be nodes or poligons?

Thanks,

Humberto

Re: [HOT] Remote mapping tagging

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Maybe could help if we classified highways tags by scenario:

- Urban (vehicules): residencial, service, living_street
- Urban (people): path (natural), footway (pedestrian)
- Rural (vehicules): track(tracktype)
- Rural (people): path
- interconecting highways between towns: unclassified, terciary

It seems road tag is temporarily in the mean while we get knowledge about
what type of highway is.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Droad

If possible some pictures on ground could be useful to discussion.

Re: [HOT] Senegal - Dakar Flooding Activation

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Hi Will,

For unpaved roads with a width of less than 5 meters but still allow a
vehicle crossing propose to use:

highway = service
service = alley
surface = unpaved
source = bing

For most appropriate playgrounds is

leisure = playground

The border flood is best taken in the field with GPS and yes, label it

floodprone = yes

It is possible to combine with the labels proposed by

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenHazardMap

What say?

Re: [HOT] How to tag traditional housing?

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Hi,

It seems building tag is related about his type and/or uses [1].
 Construction material could be an attribute of building, so I propose
something like:

building:material={mud, stone, adobe, cement, brick, etc}

Similar to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building:levels

Re: [HOT] [Talk-co] 50cm imagery available over Tierralta, Colombia

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Thanks Fréderic:

I'll take care about wiki page to update it with this iniciative and
imagery avaible.  There is already mapping over the zone!

Best,

Humberto Yances

PD:  I'll update wiki page with other ~80 Orbview3 images published
yesterday by Jean-Guilhem Cailton http://i.imgur.com/fNnE5.png too

Re: [HOT] Rectified imagery of post flooding in Norther Mindanao, Philippines in relief warper

[hyan...@gmail.com]

Hi Maning, in Colombia we are using humanitarian tag:

flood_prone = yes
or
flood_prone = "tag info"

San Estanislao de Koska
http://osm.arkemie.org/ousm/colombia/relief.html?zoom=15&lat=10.3978&lon=-75.14762&layers=00B00TFFF

Manatí
http://osm.arkemie.org/ousm/colombia/relief.html?zoom=14&lat=10.43431&lon=-74.94335&layers=00B00TFFF

For "tag info" we describe at least flood date, so evidence is explicit
over years coming.  This way we get information for risk management and
population learning.

Andrés Calderón developed a methodology to get flood prone using Landsat
and Modis (in progress) Nasa imagery.

Hope this could help and appreciate your comments,

Re: [HOT] Help Test the New Tasking Server

[hyan...@gmail.com]

I guess if you get an ocean tile just mark as unvalidated.  It works well in
JOSM setup WMS/TMS plugin like:

TMS

URL = http://tile.kompetisiosm.org/b/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png

and

zoom = 18.
