[HOT] request to review and archive HOT TM projects in the Philippines

[maning sambale]

Hi,

Disaster.ninja is an awesome tool! https://disaster.ninja/

Today, I noticed a lot of open projects in the Philippines which are
very old.  Im not sure if these projects are still in in use.

Hi,

I noticed weird looking buildings over here:

The changeset mentioned #hotosm-project-5700

[HOT] Feature detection from drone imagery

[maning sambale]

Hi,

I published a diary on my experiment with using Robosat for detecting
buildings from OpenAerialImagery drone images
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/maning/diary/44462

Right now, the model was trained on drone footages taken by Dan Joseph
of the American Red Cross in Visayas, Philippines using DJI Mavic Pro.
Curious if there are field applications that can leverage on this
tool.  Happy to collab with anyone for fun. :)

Re: [HOT] [talk-ph] Mayon Volcano Eruption Jan 2018

[maning sambale]

Quick update.

Big thanks to everyone who helped with the 2 projects for Mayon Volcano.

We already shared the data (through the HOT export tool) to the
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS)
this is the government institution who supports the local government
units in responding to the disaster.
Also thanks to Erwin for providing updated GPS maps, which is now used
by people on the ground.

No new requests for mapping at the moment since we have covered the
designated danger zones (PDZ + EDZ).

Re: [HOT] [talk-ph] Mayon Volcano Eruption Jan 2018

[maning sambale]

Ervin,

Thanks, this is so much bigger than the EDZ [0].  I feel its too much
too big AOI for mapping.
If we can have detailed poly that identifies at risk areas, that's much better.

Re: [HOT] [talk-ph] Mayon Volcano Eruption Jan 2018

[maning sambale]

Thanks everyone for finishing the task really quick!  We have 100%
mapped and 57% validated as of this time.
Also thanks to the mappers before us who already mapped a lot before this event.

We created a new task to include the expanded danger zone [0],
reference material [1].
Compared to the previous task, this needs more effort since these
areas are more populated than the permanent danger zone.

This continues to be a local response, but anyone is welcome to participate

[HOT] Mayon Volcano Eruption Jan 2018

[maning sambale]

Mayon Volcano in the Philippines erupted this week.  Local community
is mapping from pre-event imagery.
This is not yet a full HOT Activation.  We are still assessing the
needs of responders, but if anyone has spare time,
we have a task [0] ready for the permanent danger zone.  This mapping
is focused on mapping infrastructure (roads and buildings) and
waterways.

Re: [HOT] Validation gossip

Hi John,

Happy to know someone is taking care of fixing Africa highways.  FWIW,
we use osmlint [0] to detect common geometry errors, these detected
errors are then fed into to-fix [1].  Some of the detectors are
related to highways [2].

Happy to support people or teams in Africa if this is worthwhile to do.

Dear HOT,

Flooding has affected large parts of Lima, Peru the last couple of
days.  This is NOT a full activiation but we are supporting the local
community to improve the basemap in several affected communities.  We
have opened several tasks based on inputs of the OSM-Peru community,
please help in mapping.

Re: [HOT] [activation hotosm] Re: Activation. floods in Peru

[maning sambale]

Hi everyone,

I can prepare the task in the next couple of hours. Some questions

What specific features to map? Normally, we focus on one or two features ie
building + road or other combinations this makes it easy to map and
validate.

Which imagery to use? Bing or mapbox or others? We usually use a single
imagery source to minimize misalignment issues but if one source is not
sufficient we can combine others taking note of their alignment issues and
date of capture to help temote mappers understand the quality of imagery.

Re: [HOT] Activation. floods in Peru

[maning sambale]

Hi everyone,

Im in Lima at the moment but movement is limited due to the crisis.  I
can do a bit of work but my Spanish is limited.
At least I can help prepare tasks if local community have defined
areas to work on.

[HOT] OpenAerialMap Dare a Salam imagery

Hi,

I'm trying load UAV imagery in JOSM from openaerialmap over Dar Es Salaam:
http://beta.openaerialmap.org/#/39.26616668701172,-6.8074667562700935,12

For some reason I does not load in JOSM nor even open iD.  Before
filing a bug report, I want to ask other if they get the same result.

Thanks!

Re: [HOT] Forest Fires in Uttarakhand,India

[maning sambale]

Hi Praveen,

Thank you for notifying us.  Some questions before we talk about
mapping Uttarakhand:

1. Who will use the data on the ground?  While mapping in general
improves the data in OSM for anyone to use, we want to make sure that
before focusing efforts of volunteer mappers, we know who will use
(and for what purpose) the data on the ground.

2.  What specific features and where should we map? OSM focuses on
basemap information (i.e. roads, settlements, natural features, etc.).
Based on news reports, the area affected by the forest fires is large,
we want to focus on what are the priority areas which are usually
where communities maybe at risk.

Re: [HOT] Haiyan HOT extracts?

[maning sambale]

Hi Dion,

The earliest pbf extract from geofabrik is Jan-2014, click raw
directory index: http://download.geofabrik.de/asia/philippines.html#
This is ~ 2months after the typhoon and might be a good proxy date.
Around Feb 2014, I started my fieldwork in Haiyan areas and I started
fixing a lot of data since then.  The Jan 2014 extract is probably the
closest timestamp you can get for mostly remote mapping that happened.

Thanks Kevin!

Made stub ticket in HOT's imagery request repo:
https://github.com/hotosm/imagery-requests/issues/21
@Humberto and everyone, lets discuss through the repo on:

* what areas to prioritize for TMS processing.
* who will process

So we don't duplicate efforts.

[HOT] Friendly reminder not to upload sample.osm during a mapping training

[maning sambale]

Hi,

See this: http://osmcha-django-staging.tilestream.net/37558836/

In case you are running a mapping workshop and use the sample.osm data
from learnosm.  Please advise mappers not to upload.

I made the same mistake before (so sorry), so please remind them or,
at the end of the training checkout Null island and delete the data.

Thanks!

Hi Pinky,

I can do that, let me know specifically what you need.  You can also
use http://tasks.teachosm.org/ if its not entirely HOT related.

Re: [HOT] Sharing imagery for a mapathon/task - simple alternative to TMS?

[maning sambale]

Hi Nick,

I can serve the imagery as TMS and then we can add that in the TM instructions.
This assumes your piclayer images have proper georeferencing.

[HOT] landuse/cover import in Cameroon?

[maning sambale]

Hi,

Yesterday, I stumbled into large changesets (>50K additions)[0] over Cameroon.
Inspecting further this looks like landuse/cover data taken from
satellite imagery and then converted to vector [1].

Further, this seems like a group mapping [2].  9 people with changeset
comment ENEO in Cameroon.

Looking into the osm wiki, I didn't see any document about this.  I've
not inspected any further if data is good or not.  Its just that the
changeset is too big.
I'm posting here since I know we have HOT initiatives in the region
(might be related, might be not).  I'm just curious.

Re: [HOT] [activation hotosm] Re: Floods in Chennai, India - Tasking Manager Project

[maning sambale]

Hi,

Last week we received a radar imagery derived file showing
water-logged areas east coast of Tamil Nadu.  This includes
towns/cities of Chennai, Pudducherry and Cuddalore.  We are still
getting clearance if we can publish this data.  From this map, we
created another TM project for Cuddalore.  Pudducherry is already
well-mapped so we skipped this town.

We are still trying to connect to people on the ground to scope on the
specific needs.  From twitter accounts, relief is hard to come by due
to inaccessibility of roads. Chennai Airport was closed as of last
week.  Very minimal international response is coming in.
The map we use for crowdsourcing flooded reports in Chennai is here:
http://osm-in.github.io/flood-map/chennai.html#11.94/12.9612/80.2177/-30

OSM India is working on improving data in OSM. TM projects below:

Re: [HOT] Projects on the HOT OSM Tasking Manager - lots of them

[maning sambale]

We have great training materials to onboard new mappers.  Maybe its
time to focus on developing more materials for validation and recruit
more validators?

The current tasking manager requires you to validate each task.  But,
in most cases, quality of edits depend on a specific mapper.  We can
do validation by user edits instead of by task.  For example, at
Mapbox, we regularly review every edit of our data team (to ensure we
contribute quality data and we are good OSM citizens).  Instead of
going through each task we review all of the edits of the user in a
given project using overpass, JOSM's todo list and validator tools.
See example here:
https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/135#issuecomment-161922079

 I don't either of you are ranting but providing good feedback that
 aligns with my own thinking about tasks. I favor smaller tasks that can be
 completed quickly rather than huge tasks that take multiple mappers to
 complete.

 One thing that I think we are moving towards is a set of guidelines for
 TM PMs. This will standardize a lot of language and help keep tasks
 manageable. I'm working on a draft that I'll share with the HOT and TM PM
 lists once it's ready to share.

 Thanks as always for your time.

[HOT] Fwd: Floods in Chennai, India

[maning sambale]

Hi,


Floods over Chennai is now over two weeks. Almost the whole city is
affected (see reports below).
We created a flood reporting map:
http://osm-in.github.io/flood-map/chennai.html#11/13./80.2000/-30
Flagging this event if we need to activate.  We are currently
coordinating with local community.
If you have other news please share.

[HOT] Mapbox formalized commitment to HOT Activations

[maning sambale]

Dear HOTties,

Mapbox just formalized our commitment to support HOT Activations [0].
Following the Activation Protocol, we drafted our own internal
guidelines [1] to govern our engagement during an official HOT
activation.

As a HOT member and also a Mapbox team member, this is exciting for
me.  I hope more orgs/companies/institutions do the same.

All our OSM related mapping is open [2], if you have feedback, post an ticket.

Yes, this is newer than Bing (but still pre-quake imagery).
Unfortunately, in order to get cloud-free mosaic, it came from various

Re: [HOT] Missing Maps TM projects in DRC

[maning sambale]

Dear Pete,

Thanks, we will work on this project.  I did a random visual
inspection of several unfinished task and compared it with Bing.
There is an offset of 2-4 meters compared to Bing, unfortunately no
public traces exist.  For this task, the focus are roads and
landuse=residential.  Since we will not touch buildings I don't think
offset adjustment is necessary since it adds another thing to do for
newbies. Should we ignore the offset?

[HOT] Missing Maps TM projects in DRC

[maning sambale]

Hi,

We will be hosting a Missing Maps event next week in Mapbox BLR office
in celebration of Open Access Week [0].  We decided to work on DRC.
Most of the published projects over DRC are fairly complete [1].
However, I'm seeing unpublished/draft for MissingMaps.  Can we work on
the news ones? We expect mostly n00bs (but we will teach them JOSM) so
I guess "easy" projects like roads and landuse=residential is the best
task.

Re: [HOT] Chile Eathquake alerts

[maning sambale]

There is small (10-15 meters) offset for bing imagery for task:
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1204
This based on publicly available GPS traces and Strava overlay.
Should we drag the imagery?  Bing is fairly consistent (with offsets)
and advanced mappers can move many data in one go.
I fear that if I shift it after very task, it can cause more problems.

Dear Sebastian,

Each task has an export URL (upper right corner).  The export gives
you a geojson file which you can translate to shapefile.
Hope that helps.

 Hello everyone,


 First of all: Thank you all for the work, time and effort everyone puts

 I joined the mailing list only a few months ago, but I am really impressed
 of the general support. - Glad to be a part of this.

 I was wondering if there is a possibility to download the outlines for the
 HOT-tasks for Nepal (preferrably as shapefile - or any other format that
 can be converted to .shp).

 I am currently preparing some visualizations for a poster to show the
 mapping
 efforts in Nepal and it would be great to spatially correlate the newly
 mapped
 objects with the tasking outlines.

 Kind regards,

 Wiki page for this earthquake:
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2015_Nepal_earthquake

 Let's hope our friends a the Kathmandu Living Labs are all safe today.

 Because the community is strong in Nepal (and particularly Kathmandu), the
 map is already pretty good. Let's hope aid agencies will found out about
 our maps and find them useful.

 We should be wary of unleashing task manager jobs on the area. We must
 particularly try to avoid the mess created by people getting carried away
 with landuse but in silly square shapes (don't do this!)

 But there's some work to do. I see a few settlements and their connecting
 roads in the river valleys to the northwest of Kathmandu, where we could
 improve the map remotely a bit.

 See the above wiki page where we can post more coordination info

 I’m hearing from old Red Cross friends that many places outside Kathmandu
 are also affected. I think we should worry about the city of Pokhara too,
 it’s a major city basically equidistant from the earthquake.

[HOT] Installing tasking manager in AWS

[maning sambale]

Hi,

I'm planning to install tasking manager to coordinate some local
mapping that is not entirely
HOT-related.  Some basic Q's:

1. Would a small/micro AWS ec2 be enough for use of say a few people
at a time probably?  Less than 20 simultaneously.
2. If someone have tried this already, can you share the AMI, so that
I can just fire it up.

Advance thanks!

 For mappers in Taiwan, currently the Bing imagery is the only way to draw
 details in Taiwan, since only Bing has good zoom 18+ coverage in Taiwan.

 However since the imagery updated this week the coverage dramatically
 dropped. Though some region had been updated,  a lot of areas, like Taipei,
 Miaoli, and Kaohsiung, all zoom 14+ images were disappeared. It is
 frustrating.

 This issue had been lasted for several days, and we had reported the
 imagery lost in the Bing maps report form. Is there any other ways we can
 report and get this fixed?

[HOT] Mapping IDP camps in Maguindanao, Philippines

[maning sambale]

Dear HOTties,

(cc OSM-PH)

This is not an urgent task, but we are requesting any assistance you can extend.
There is an ongoing military operation in Maguindanao which affected 125K IDPs
[0 and 1].  I am in Cotabato right now assisting the ARMM-HEART (the
regional humanitarian agency) in using OSM in coordinating the
on-going response.

Fieldwork is very challenging due to physical and security conditions.
We created a task to improve the baseamap.  The task is here:
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/969

Advance thanks!

[HOT] What I want from HOT (was: Re: Let's make the most of this)

[maning sambale]

Dear everyone,

Let me kickstart this.  First, no, I’m not running for the board, but
here’s what I want HOT to aspire for in the future.

As many have said, we’ve come a long way since we started with the
Haiti earthquake response.  We have better tools, more capable people,
better systems/organization and worldwide recognition.  For many areas
in the developing world, we are the default map.  This is especially
true for us in the Philippines where and more and more users are
utilizing our map across a diverse type of organization
(international, national agencies, local government).  Having said
that, I also see a lot of improvements we can look into within HOT and
the larger OSM community.  Below are “wishlist” for the HOT community
to consider.  Note that this is my own perspective having been
involved in several humanitarian mapping work(both as a remote mapper
and deployments on the ground)  in my own country.  This is not in the
order of priority.

* From data consumers to data contributors.
Many international organizations are using our data, but, I often
wonder do they contribute back?  I know a couple of organizations are
doing this (IFRC/ICRC/ARC/BRC, MSF, MapAction to name a few).  I think
we should consciously encourage these consumers to give back.  We are
not just a source of free geospatial data, we are a community and they
are part of it.

* Building local community capacity.
We are very good at responding to crisis.  For a very short period, we
can provide highly accurate data (street and building level detail) to
any area in the world, but at the end of every response, have we
considered how will the local community (if there is one) curate and
continue maintaining the data?  I think for every activation we
respond to, we should always consider building local capacity.  Some
countries might not have any local community, but in areas where there
is, we should strive to engage with them no matter how small this
community maybe. Because ultimately, it will be local community who
will maintain what we kickstarted.

* Focus more on preparedness over response.
MissingMaps, MapLesotho, HOT-Id (and other HOT technical assistance)
are doing this already. And I think this is what we should be do more.
For areas in the Philippines where we integrate
participatory/community-driven mapping for disaster risk reduction,
the simple exercise of mapping is a powerful tool to increase
awareness on the local hazards and to engage local stakeholders
(affected communities, DRR managers, local governments) in a
discussion for better preparedness and response.  We’ve witnessed
instances where pre-mapping as part of the DRR activities allowed
better response during a typhoon last year.

* Better tools under challenging environment.
As I said above, we have better tools now. But offline/very limited
connectivity remains a big concern for most of the areas we are
responding to.  Better and simple tools under this condition should be
what we should aim for.

* Regional exchange and “mentoring”.
I’ve learned a lot when collaborating with other mapping groups under
a similar context.  Fo example, we had several exchanges with
OSM-Indonesia (through HOT’s project), being in a similar hazard
context and, in a way, a closely-related culture, I find it that many
of the techniques they have developed are applicable to our own
condition.  Would it be possible for HOT to facilitate this?  For
example, can MapKibera lead regional mentoring in Africa? Or OSM-Haiti
within its region?  Oftentimes, mentoring is from the “North” to the
“South” or from “West” to “East”.  This is also very valuable but lets
also consider that there maybe local community experiences which can
be shared within the region having the same socio-cultural context
that can be more effective and adapted to the local condition.

Hoping the Board and the HOT community can work on some these wishes.

 Dear all,

 The proposed (accepted?) extension to the nomination process has taken most

Re: [HOT] [talk-ph] Typhoon Hagupit / Ruby Activation

[maning sambale]

Dear OSM-PH mappers,

[cc: HOT list]

It's been almost a week since we started this activation.
Fortunately, minimal loss to lives were reported (NDRRMC count is 18).
However, the Northern and Eastern Samar was heavily damaged, over 1
million people were affected and economic loss estimate is ~2B Php.

Thanks again to HOT's Activation group especially to Mark Cupitt for
leading this activation.  Once again, the U.S. Department of State’s
Humanitarian Information Unit (HIU) facilitated access to pre-disaster
imagery through the MapGive initiative.

We received tremendous support from many volunteers [1], although not
as big as Haiyan/Yolanda, but still, a lot of mapping was done in the
last 7 days (167 mappers).  At its peak, we have 75 mappers in a
single day.  What is interesting is that many of these volunteers
seems to have come from Philippine-based volunteers (top 5 map changes
country breakdown: PH-393,539; Mali-912; unknown-727; Bahamas-102;
Liberia-54).  A good indication of progress with our local advocacy
efforts during the year.

Due to minimal international media coverage, it is likely that remote
mapping support from international mappers will decline in the coming
days.  However, the response is not yet over, the American Red Cross
(ARC) and International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies (IFRC) continues to use our map to support on the ground
initiatives within their area of operation, Nick Brown's YPDR team is
on their way to Eastern Samar and OSM is their basemap, as well as
many UN agencies through UNOSAT [2].  Also last night, we were able to
contact friends from Leyte and Northern Samar. Some of them are are
also coordinating LGU response. Specifically, Northern Samar's PPDO
requested we continue to update the maps within the province.  All
tasks are published in the wiki coordination page [3].

Aside from the published tasks, another important mapping is the
proper geolocation of settlements. For those familiar with the area,
please go over the town/city placenames check if these were properly
located.

Thanks!

[HOT] [Typhoon Hagupit/Ruby] Collecting news from the ground and more involvement by local mappers

[maning sambale]

Dear everyone,

As the Typhoon Hagupit/Ruby continues to pass through central
Philippines we are actively mapping areas where we expect will most
likely have great damage.  The tasks are available in the wiki [0].

Note that our priority is to improve basemap information.  There are
other groups geocoding non-basemap information such as rescue tweets,
request for assistance, person finder, etc.  We are closely working
with these groups too.  Basic to geocoding this information is for us
to have good basemap.

As always the international community of mappers are helping us [1].
For local mappers what we need from you is to help us look into the
expected stream of information in the coming hours/days.  This is for
us to re-direct efforts of basemapping in areas where information is
lacking or needs urgent update.

Please have a look at the map and the TM jobs and tell us if there are
areas we are missing detailed basemap.   We also need more local
people in doing a bit more coordinations tasks.  If you are
interested, let me and Mark Cupitt know so we can add you in the
coordination skype window.

Thanks!

Re: [HOT] [talk-ph] TYPHOON RUBY - TASK CREATION NOTICE #801 - URGENT RESPONSE

[maning sambale]

According to the latest forecast, Hagupit/Ruby's expected landfall will be
this evening around the area of Dolores.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/12.0376/125.4837

Lots of settlements here still need detailed mapping.  It is now marked as
priority in task 801: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/801
Since the HIU tiles is panchromatic, it maybe difficult to do buildings.
But, experienced mappers can easily do this.
Please focus of settlements near the coast (usually along the major road).

Thanks!

 THIS TASK REPLACES TASK #800 due to potential mapping conflicts with the
 number of people mapping

 *THIS TASK IS FOR EXPERIENCED MAPPERS*

 Typhoon Ruby has slowed slightly and the track has moved to the north of
 earlier predictions, giving us a longer window to complete pre-disaster
 mapping tasks.

 In support of The Philippine Government, Red Cross/Red Crescent, DHN and
 other Agencies, we have created our *third* task for this Activation. 
 *http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/801
 http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/801*

 We NOW HAVE have new Satellite Imagery for Samar courtesy of MapGive.

 Through the MapGive project, the Humanitarian Information Unit (HIU) of
 the U.S. Department of State is providing the OpenStreetMap community
 access to updated satellite imagery services to help assist with
 humanitarian mapping.

 This task covers an area with HiRes Black and White Imagery

 We will be looking to add or improve the following features


- roads; schools, hospitals, churches, buildings, residential and
commercial areas and waterfronts, malls, sports complexes.
- open areas (not fields, just smooth open ground next to towns) as
leisure=common as these are potential helicopter landing sites.


 This is a larger area, if you need to split the tiles you can do so up to
 two times.

 *We ask all Hotties to help in the response and to map this task as
 quickly as possible. We expect to make additional tasks available as the
 landfall track predictions improve.*

 Mark Cupitt and Manin Sambale from the Philippines are the coordinators.
 They are assisted by Pierre Béland and Andrew Buck from north-america. This
 will assures a continuous coordination for this Activation. As usual, we
 have the support from highly engaged contributors from Europe and America.

 We started yesterday a skype coordination room with OCHA, Red Cross / Red
 Crescent and various DHNetwork partners.  The typhoon is predicted to land
 in about 26 hours just north of Tacloban. This city was hardlly hit by the
 typhoon Haiyan a year ago and many people are still leaving in tents a year
 after this disaster.

 At this point the exact trajectory and landing point is still incertain
 and we want to do pre-mapping rapidly.  The landing is actually predicted on
 Samar island. This area was not intensively mapped for Haiyan since we did
 not have high-res imagery for the area.

 The HIU unit of the US State department is processing imagery and we
 should add new task manager jobs soon.

Re: [HOT] UAV questions

[maning sambale]

Dear FredM,

Please continue sharing your experience on community lead use of UAV.
In the PH, after Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda,
several groups have demonstrated (some are commercial ventures) the
effective use of UAV imagery for post-disaster assessment.

Commercial providers are cheaper than satellite but still expensive
for community organizations to avail, so I'm thinking of how we can
build local community driven capacity for using UAVs here as well.


On Wed, Nov 12, 2014 at 2:29 PM, Frederic Moine frmo...@gmail.com wrote:
 Yes we are working on it,

 I didn't have the time to share my last mission in Haiti (oct 2014) withan
 OSM contributeur Presler Jean,  an international hydrologyst and a local
 group of Hydrologyst and agromomist (very short mission few days) .

 We are trying to see the use of UAV in Haiti. As since 2011 we have
 implemented several projects with IOM, Cartong, Drone Adventure and OSM
 Haiti.

 What we want is:

 - To repair UAV (wing and quacopter) in the field with 3D printer and spare
 parts.

 -  To be able to fly uav over the most affected area (inundation and
 landslide) and get a strong methodology to use 2d inundation modeling  and
 extract the height of the building with the  UAV elevation model.  Ideally
 to see if we can extract automatically the building without a lot of data
 cleaning to put in OSM (need more test)

 Why we are doing that:

 - We want to reinforce the capacity of the OSM group who are in front line
 with the local community and local government during a disaster or during
 their daily life.

 - Try to interact with NGO or people who talk about Haiti (in seminar,
 workshop, etc…) at the same level to ensure some impact In the field.

 For example, NGO/UN are still building Latrine in cite soleil when OSM and
 local community ask them stuff (shovel,etc…)  to help them to clean the
 canal http://osm.org/go/YeSWUQfrV-

 It will take time as we don’t have a lot of money and the control of our
 communication,  and in Haiti we will need first to support individual and
 share knowledge during a mapping party our other to see a collective
 movement.

 All the best FredM

If there is one section that needs immediate love, I propose we look

Most newbies are introduced to this tool before diving into JOSM (my

 Hi,

 Missing Maps (http://www.missingmaps.org/)  has it's official launch
 tomorrow, 7th November. I've deliberatly not put a time in this message, as
 its a pretty worldwide launch  it's going to depend on your  their time
 zone.

 As well as the people who attend the mapathons, there will also be many
 joining in 'remotely'. Of course, some of the people will have already done
 some mapping with HOT in the past, but my experience of helping at mapathons
 tells me that less than 5% will know what they are doing, and the rest will
 be fairly new, but may have done some research  looked at help guides etc..

 At a conservative guess / estimate there will be 300 mappers, the vast
 majority of them new, helping with various projects tomorrow. I think this
 is a very conservative estimate, and would hope to see considerably more -
 perhaps double my first figure, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were
 even more!

 Most of these mappers will look for guidance to LearnOSM
 (http://learnosm.org/en/). Because of the way LearnOSM  is set up I don't
 think we can get stats. for hits on the site (I'm quite happy to be
 contradicted on this).

 If you've done any exploring on the LearnOSM site you'll have noticed that's
 it's not just for 'new mappers' and it has some very comprehensive guides on
 some complex subjects. It's good! But it needs constant attention - the
 editing tools and processes are constantly evolving, and what was a current
 guide last month, may now need a slight update.

 LearnOSM is also multilingual, or at least it should be. There are many
 sections that need more translations. There are guides on how to simply
 produce these translations
 (https://github.com/hotosm/learnosm/blob/gh-pages/CONTRIBUTING.md).

 Now (last week would have been better!) would be a good time to have a read
 through LearnOSM, and if you see something that needs sorting out, either
 sort it, or send a message asking for someone else to do it. If you've
 managed to master mapping, then getting something amended or updated on
 https://github.com/hotosm/learnosm is only a minor stumbling block, and
 could have a big impact on 700 people who will potentially read it over the
 next few days.

 New Mappers - we need to know what is missing, or needs rephrasing. Let us
 know, please.

Re: [HOT] Eu Aid Volunteers and OSM

[maning sambale]

Thanks for this article jorieke.
Indeed Project NOAH is Ph govt's major effort to produce accurate hazard
maps for the whole country. Osm complements these efforts as a major source
of exposure data. We already trained some of noah's young scientists on how
to edit/use osm data.

Re: [HOT] OSM humanitarian layer as an ArcGIS basemap?

[maning sambale]

Not really solving the problem in this thread, but, FYI, humanitarian
style is now available directly in QGIS via OpenLayers Plugin [0].

 Hello,
 I do personnally use QGIS for this kind of task and I think it is likely to
 be the most useful and easy place for it, however this request was about
 making it work using ArcGIS. So, thank you very much for all the instructive
 tips, specially to Brad and Peter!

 Refreshing the cache within the application solved the issue of the
 different (not matching) zoom levels.
 As it seems that nobody hosts the humanitarian style OSM layer yet in a way
 that it could be used, the GIS guys are back using the standard OSM basemap
 for the urgent needs, but your suggestions will soon be tried too.

 Hi  Claire,

 I can add OSM layers in my arcgis online account. You'll need to have an
 arcgis online account and then login at maps.arcgis.com, then in your Arcgis
 home page, click on My Content, then click Create Map, then
 in the top left corner click Add, Add layer from Web, and choose A WMS
 OGC Web Service, then enter a valid WMS/Web map service OGC URL.

 There are a few free OSM WMS Servers. One is
 http://129.206.228.72/cached/osm?
 which is hosted by the folks at osm-wms.de m(Univ. of Hiedleberg).  When
 you've entered http://129.206.228.72/cached/osm? click Add and you'll get
 a basic OSM base map (not the OSM Humanitarian layer) but a basic OSM base
 map.

 You should be able to find other free WMS OGC servers of OpenStreetMap
 base layers at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WMS If you're stuck, send
 me a private email message and I'll see if I can help some more.
 If you want the HOT style basemap, you'll need to request that the WMS
 providers add this basemap to their hosting service.

Re: [HOT] Validating TM2 - providing feedback to new mappers

There was a discussion several months ago proposing irc like client for

good approach to providing real-time feedback to those working on a

 Feedback from Validators provides a fantastic opportunity to learn,
 especially for new users and the dialog that is created can only be of huge
 benefit to those people who want it. When I started, I certainly would have
 asked for feedback. Andrew B gave me a huge amount of help via mumble on

  Hi,

 On the subject of validation.

 As someone who now spends most of their mapping time validating, I think
 we 'sell' it the wrong way. I only use the validation button in JOSM now if
 I think I am going to find something, and generally use the HOT-Validate
 paint Style (Well worth trying if you're a JOSM user, even if you don't
 validate). But I think even that is too much of a requirement. I have seen
 some excellent mapping by iD  Potlatch users  I would like to see some of
 them carrying out validating - if they are capable of mapping to such a
 high standard then they are perfectly capable of zooming in to look at
 others work  saying 'yes', 'yes but', or 'no'. I rarely use the 'no'
 option and to be honest it could just as easily be an experienced mapper
 because it generally means there is a significant portion of the square not
 mapped (I like to think the imagery didn't load properly  that was why
 they missed the village entirely!)

 Mapping =
 I'd like to see us rewrite the manuals, wiki's, slideshows etc., so they
 show mapping for HOT needs roads connected, traced at a suitable scale 
 classed more or less correctly (I don't think we should get too hung up
 about this - its often only when you are looking at an area of several
 squares in size that you can work out which are the primary, secondary,
 tertiary etc - get it traced, tag what it looks like  make sure that
 someone with an overview alters the tags later if need be). Buildings
 square or round and as accurate as they can be within reason. Rivers
 traced. leisure= common  amenity=school where appropriate - anything else
 specific to the project.

 Validating=
 Make sure that Mapping = was done ok.

 It would be good to offer variety to our mappers  validating, if sold
 correctly, is not difficult  can be very rewarding. 99% of the time I'm
 making comments like 'All looks good, thanks'. Occasionally it's something
 like 'Looks good, but can you join the roads to each other  not the
 landuse=residential boundary. I've sorted it this time', I worried for a
 while about sending messages to mappers about ways they could improve, but
 the feedback I've had from those concerned has been good, and I make sure I
 only send a message if it's obvious

 Tonight is the first time I've come across geojson and the only polygons I
 know of are of the multipolygon version that I use when mapping so I am
 having trouble doing what you asked. I looked at a number of options and
 ended up creating a single relation from those linestrings, tagging as
 boundary, uploading to create relation # 3903469 and using
 http://polygons.openstreetmap.fr/ to convert the relation to a
 geojsonbut it doesnt work. So I saved it as .osm and used geojson.io to
 convert to geojson.

 I am predominately a mapper, not a data user so I am in very unfamiliar
 territory with some of this stuff, so if the above file is not what it
 should be please let me know and I'll see what I can do

Dear everyone,

An initial report on the module sprint we just finished today (May 30
- June 1, 2014)

Overview
==

This is a joint initiative of OSM-Ph, OSM-Id, HOT and ESSC.
The objective of this sprint is to develop a trainors training manual
by consolidating existing materials and experiences from previous
OSM training activities in the Philippines and Indonesia.

We intend to run a test of the developed materials to local partners
in the Ph on June 10-13.

Emir and Adityo of OSM-Id joined us here in the Philippines.

What we worked on


Here's a brief run down of what was developed. Our notes are available in
hackpad [0] and the documents in gDrive [1]

Everything is still a work in progress but of course, open for
community comments and improvements.

- Drafted a writing style guide for LearnOSM [2]
- Drafted a content structure for LearnOSM [3]
- Improved and added several sections [4  5]
  - Tasking Manager
  - Geofabrik extract and HOT exports
  - Using GPS 62s and newer eTrex models
- Proposed a new category for mobile/smartphone mapping applicatiosn [6]
- Workflow to convert LearnOSM to a printable PDF [7]
- Materials and guides for an OSM Facilitator [1]
 - Training needs assesment questionnaire
 - ToT Modules
 - Learning framework

- Other things
 - Discussion on attribution for imagery and screenshots we used in
the materials [8]

[HOT] Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan Activation Wrap-up

[maning sambale]

Dear everyone,

It's been almost half a year since we activated for the Typhoon
Yolanda/Haiyan.  Since then,
I'm sure you are aware of the tremendous response we received both
from remote mappers and responders on the ground.

Over 4 million map changes from ~1,500 contributors.  We supported
local and international humanitarian groups.  Locally, I can say that
OSM became the de-facto resource for updated geographic data.  Various
government agencies (including the national mapping agency) are now
taking a second look at the wealth of data we created.  Along the way,
we were able to refine our coordination protocols which I hope became
useful in the successive response we are currently supporting
worldwide.

Let me thank everyone who supported this response, from the remote
mappers, humanitarian agencies who used our data, image providers,
organizers of numerous mapathons, the people who shared the appeal to
social and mainstream media and, the core HOT volunteers (especially
Andrew, Pierre, JGC and many others) who provided both technical
guidance and moral support during the height of the activation.

If you view the history tab in osm.org right now, you will notice that
local volunteers (who were victims themselves) are working on updating
the map.  This will be a big task for us in the OSM-PH community, but
slowly, we are taking on the challenge to keep the map up to date.

Remote mapping has dwindled the past few months and I would like to
formally declare (through this email, since I don't know the
protocol) that we are wrapping-up this activation. Thank you again
for all your help.

There will be a little bit of clean-up such as removing non-essential
data (i.e. tasking manager relations used in creating tasks).  If
anyone has a need for this kind of data to remain in the DB, let us
know.

Thanks again, please update the wiki [0] if there are things we missed
during the activation.  Also, if there are reports/assessment on the
way we responded please add them to the wiki as well.

 Thanks for this Maning and yes let's declare this Great activation over.
 A tremendous effort was made remotely from people around the world.

 From one activation to the other, we are developping new ways to
 collaborate with the humanitarian organizations and local communities. The
 coordination with international organizations such as UN-OCHA, Red Cross,
 GFDRR, HIU  was awesome. We also had a fantastic support from various
 imagery providers who let us cover such a large area for this emergency.
 And a great thanks to Jean-Guilhem Cailton, Fred Moine and OSM-fr who
 supported us for the imagery. Thanks also to the developpers who
 contributed to deliver these poster size OSM maps to the Tacloban airport
 10 days after the Typhoon, and offer various services such as GPS and
 OSMAnd / Android downloads.  These various services offer a great support
 to the humanitarians while deploying on the ground in the context of such
 emergencies.

 The Philippines is different from other activations with the local OSM
 communities contributing to complete the map with their local knowledge.
 Thanks to Maning and all the OSM-ph contributors for your contribution in
 such a difficult context. This is an essential part of the map and I am
 pleased to see that this has some recognition from the various governmental
 agencies.

Re: [HOT] Interim Report: Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) Damage Assessment

[maning sambale]

Thanks Robert for sharing this preliminary report.  While this may not
be part of your study,
I wonder how is our damage assessment comparable to what others (with
more expertise)
have done like those provided by UNOSAT:
http://www.unitar.org/unosat/node/44/1876

Maybe we can learn from them.

 Hi Robert,

 In the early days after Typhoon Haiyan, there were  estimations of 10,000
 dead, severe damages and no communications with various remote areas. The
 humanitarian community as a whole needed even  rough estimates of the extent
 and the distribution of the damages.

 The Coordination group where OCHA , US Red Cross and HOT participated right
 from the beginning of this intervention thought that OpenStreetMap should
 contribute to make Damage assesments. The objective was to make these
 assesments from Satellite imagery as soon as these would be available.

 The Red Cross study makes the assumption that the objective of the
 OpenStreetMap crowdsourcing was to make detailed assesments. But you can
 only make rough assesments from Satellite imagery especially when
 atmospheric conditions restrict the quality of the images provided. And a
 simple classification was used (ie. damaged or destroyed).  UAV's (drones)
 or Aerial oblique imageries could have been used to make detailed
 assesments. But this was not part of the established workflow of the
 humanitarian community before Haiyan and such images were not available to
 make detailed assesments.

 Once such crisis are ended, we should surely analyze our actions and plan
 collectively for better interventions in the future. But we should avoid to
 have wrong conclusions about actions taken during this crisis.

 The way the report is written, it gives the impression that imprecision in
 evaluation of assesment is due to the use of the OpenStreetMap community.
 The humanitarian community as a whole did not build before this event the
 capacity to react rapidly, deploy teams and provide detailed post-disaster
 imagery in other ways then through Satellite.

 In the context of this emergency and with the imagery provided, would
 professionnals specialized in damage assesment have scored significantly
 better? Due to the limits of such assesments in the operational context of
 this operation, analysis should be based on the capacity to identify zones
 of high damages and not focus on individual houses. To my point of view, the
 objective of that operation following the severed damages after Typhoon
 Haiyan was to give an early warning to identify zones and not individual
 houses. This would need oblique imagery.

 Thinking about a better workflow in the context of such disasters,  the
 capacity to have more flexibility and deploy rapidly teams when necessary to
 obtain either UAV imagery (drone) or aerial oblique imagery would surely
 give a different response, this either with the OpenStreetMap community or
 professionnals of damage assesment.

 We surely have a workflow to build and establish the role and limits of
 assesments done with aerial imagery in the context of such emergency
 operations.

 We should be careful to make the appropriate analysis and not demotivate the
 OpenStreetMap community who made such a huge effort for this activation.

 The Red Cross study points to the fact that in most cases the limitation in
 damage assesment was the imagery that seemed to show undamaged buildings
 when in reality they had sustained damage. But this is not reflected in the
 Executive summary and in  the Conclusion of the study. This study should be
 completed with a better analysis of the type of imagery necessary to make
 better asssesment studies.

 Dear HOT Communuity,

 The American Red Cross and the REACH Initiative are pleased to present an
 interim assessment report on the validity of the building damages assessed
 through OpenStreetMap in the weeks following Typhoon Haiyan. You can find a
 print copy attached and a more interactive website version at the above
 link.

 The results were unfortunately negative and underline real limitations in
 OpenStreetMap’s ability to capture these results in the present.
 Neverthless, this report identifies strong promise in the OSM model of
 crowdsourcing and highlights the investments needed to make that potential
 possible.  It’s our sincere hope that funders, NGO partners and most
 especially the OpenStreetMap community will rally around these investments
 so that OSM can play an even stronger and more operationally useful role in
 future disaster responses.

 We are indebted to the US Agency for

Dear HOTies,

Thank you for the nomination and approval.
I am very happy to be part of this community
and for all your help mapping the Philippines.

While I contribute to several remote mapping activations
in several areas (Haiti, Africa, Pakistan, Columbia and
others), my motivation for contributing to OSM is really
selfish and insular. ;)

Living in a country ranked 3rd most vulnerable
to natural disasters and having been a victim myself,
I know (a fact and not an assertion) that OpenStreetMap
is helping my country become more resilient to future disasters.

Let's keep on mapping!

 Hi Kate,

 Belated happy birthday: although I know like the Queen you have two these
 days.

 Thanks to one of my friends who comes to our Nottingham OSM meeting
 I've made contact with the local student hack society. They are having
 a 24 (or strictly 28) hr hackathon in 3 weeks time. I've been invited
 to give a talk and I though I would introduce HOT as part of it
 (basically the old Haiti story).

 I therefore wondered if there were any things which would be useful
 for HOT. I have no idea how proficient the guys are, but they seem to
 have already done some decent things with open data and maps. If you
 have any ideas do let me know.

 Cheers,

 Jerry

 in some cases the outline has changed purely because we can now see the

 Thanks Nick, that was a helpful kickstart.  The one query I still have is
 are all the blue structures tents? As you say, most have appeared where
 there was once a building and in some cases they are alongside.  I've not
 tagged any as tents as most seem to be in place of a building or as well as
 a building so I wonder wether they are tarps that have been draped over
 ruins or damage?   So I've simply marked the building as damaged.

 Hi,

 Having just completed one of the squares for this task, a few notes which
 may help (It's not easy, so be prepared to take your time  do your best);

 If using JOSM, load not only the imagery linked to the task, but also Bing
 or whatever imagery was first used. By hiding the different layers you can
 then compare the before (Bing?)  after imagery to see how the building has
 changed.

 Alignment - slightly different to the existing tracing. As usual no gps
 traces available, but always worth trying.

 History - Be prepared to look at the history of buildings - on my square
 someone had been creating new buildings using the post disaster imagery 12
 hours before I started - they were only tagged as building=yes, so it took
 me a few minutes of investigation to work out what had been done (Ctrl+h in
 JOSM will bring up the history of a selected node or way).

 Tents - I'm fairly certain that at least two of the buildings added 12 hours
 ago are actually tents - they are on the site of old buildings or nearby,
 but are a completely different outline. I've done a search on the wiki, but
 nobody seems to have been mentioning tagging them before - I've tagged mine
 'building=tent' until someone comes up with a better scheme.

 As efforts to alleviate the damages from Typhoon Haiyan / Yolanda in the

 shelter relief but are already looking at the next stage of supporting

 One of the more affected municipalities in Haiyan's path is Carles, on the

 verify the accuracy of these assessments through OSM for future work.

 Thanks to the continued generosity of the U.S. State Department, we've been

 Hello HOT Community,

 Hello from Tacloban. Recovery work for Typhoon Yolanda is gathering steam
 in the Philippines and with it the need for highly detailed data. I'm here
 working with the REACH Initiative to conduct a rapid shelter assessment
 which will be used to inform shelter reconstruction planning for the entire
 recovery operation. In the course of these surveys we're testing the
 accuracy of damage assessments conducted through OSM and developing
 methodologies to join relevant survey data to OSM map features.

 One of the municipalities selected for assessment is Carles on the
 northeasten tip of Panay. We're hoping to use OSM to better plan the
 logistics and administration of our assessment surveys and in turn generate
 more useful data for OSM. If possible we'll obtain post-disaster imagery and
 set up a separate task to crowd source damage assessments that we can
 validate in the field.

 We need your help to get this done in time. Our assessment will be
 happening later this week, most likely Friday, so we need the community's
 help to trace the relevant data in time. If you have the time and
 inclination, please take a cell or 20 and chip in. If the data is good
 enough it will be used by humanitarian responders.

 Many thanks to all of you for the time and effort you've given so far.
 GIS folks in the field are all raving about the quality and thoroughness of
 the data that OSM provides to this response.

 Hi all,

 To the worry of mapping areas: Could it make sense to make use of these
 kinds of situations to map some vulnerable areas that aren't currently
 necessarily suffering an active crisis?

 Nicaragua's Caribbean coast regularly suffers from rainy season damages
 (including this year) and lot of the area is quite undermapped if not virgin
 territory.
 There are obviously a lot of similar places in the world.
 Perhaps we could build a sort of catalogue of areas (with hires Bing) that
 could be mapped when someone has resources for that?
 Create a stack of tasking manager jobs catalogued in a wiki page that people
 could simply grab when excess mapping capacity become available?

 Just a thought,
 -Jaakko

 Hi Jean-Guilhem


 A tip for anyone using JOSM.


 create a filter with this expression' collapsed OR damaged'


 With this filter on buildings tagged with collapsed OR damaged be greyed
 out leaving  buildings that have not been assessed.

 Dear All,

 Thanks to the coordination work of Andrew Buck, Kate Chapman, and Dale
 Kunce from the American Red Cross, among others, the U.S. Department of
 State's Humanitarian Information Unit (HUI) has made available
 post-disaster imagery from Digital Globe through the NextView License.

 Robert Banick, from the American Red Cross too, has setup a task to map
 the current state of Tacloban City area after Typhoon Haiyan inflicted
 heavy damage to buildings, infrastructure and areas:

 Many thanks to all those who made this possible, and to all of you who
 are going to make the best use of it to help the relief workers
 alleviate the suffering of the survivors.

Re: [HOT] Fwd: [CrisisMappers] First satellite post-typhoon Tacloban city maps available

Is there someone coordinating if we can access the raw imagery or at the
very least conflate the vector to update the status of buildings?

 Hi Jean,
 As a relative newcomer to the list, can you provide a bit more context on
 how people will likely be using the OSM generated data or damage maps
 linked to; and if there is value in absorbing some of the damage
 indications into the OSM map? (ie: either removal of buildings or tagging
 as ruins/damaged)?

 For example, looking at the 300DPI versions of:

 http://emergency.copernicus.eu/mapping/ems-product-component/EMSR058_02TACLOBANCITY_REFERENCE_DETAIL03/1

 ... suggest there's some newer buildings since the original bing imagery
 or missed detail.

I've marked the remaining tasks in http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/340
that is in conflict with 347 as done.

 It has been removed from the Featured tasks list but there is really
 no way to remove it without deleting the job I think.  I wouldn't
 worry about it though, in theory there could be conflicts but that is
 unlikely since 340 is basically done.

http://www.digitalglobeblog.com/2013/11/11/typhoonhaiyan/

Press statement:

 *On Friday, devastation hit the Philippines. The massively destructive
typhoon, Haiyan, turned into one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever
recorded at landfall, with winds estimated at 195 mph, gusts up to 235 mph
and a storm surge that rose up to 20 feet high. As with any natural
disaster, rapid, comprehensive, unclassified satellite coverage can be an
invaluable tool for responding to these major events.*

*On November 07, 2013 at 7 pm EST, several hours before Typhoon Haiyan made
landfall, DigitalGlobe activated FirstLook
http://www.digitalglobe.com/products/insight/firstlook, an online
subscription service for emergency managers and enterprise customers that
provides fast, web-based access to pre- and post-event imagery of natural
and manmade disasters. In the first few days, following the initial
devastation, DigitalGlobe’s satellites collected and delivered over 19,000
square kilometersof imagery in the hardest hit areas, including Tacloban
City and the surrounding areas.  FirstLook’s frequent revisit times have
enabled rapid delivery of quality imagery content during this time-critical
event.*

*Below is a chilling image chip, depicting the impact from typhoon Haiyan.*

*WE NEED YOUR HELP – JOIN THE CROWD:The scale of the storm’s destruction
has been massive. In addition to collecting imagery, we need volunteers to
help us map the devastation. In support of such efforts, DigitalGlobe has
activated a crowdsourcing campaign, open to anyone willing to help.*

*http://www.tomnod.com/nod/challenge/haiyantyphoon2013
http://www.tomnod.com/nod/challenge/haiyantyphoon2013*

*For this campaign, we will be releasing the crowd produced results to the
open source community. Contact DigitalGlobe’s Tomnod platform team at
i...@tomnod.comi...@tomnod.com i...@tomnod.com if you are interested in
receiving access to the Haiyan data.*

This map seems to correspond to the reported damages by local media,
although many areas are still inaccessible.
Reports from local media is slowly coming in and it is not very good
news. Some reports estimates the death toll to exceed 10K.

While Haiyan/Yolanda is now out of the Philippines, there is new low
pressure brewing in the Pacific [0] which could exacerbate the
situation in many affected areas.

Right now, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) the
major government agency organizing the relief is using OSM as the
basemap for its Disaster Situation Map [1].

Please continue working on the current tasks, we will create new tasks
as we get additional request from local responders.
IMO, priorities should focus on:
- access - roads and bridges
- presence of settlements - landuse=residential should be sufficient

PS. I went to Tacloban just this year to talk about FOSS4G and OSM for
DRR.  My visit in some ways, sparked the interest of local NGOs, GIS
users and government employees to start contributing to OSM.  These
are the areas you may have noticed to be well-mapped road-wise.  Some
of these mappers live in the mostly devastated areas.  I tried to
contact a few but haven't heard from any of them since the Yolanda
made landfall in Tacloban.  Still hoping they are safe.

Re: [HOT] Typhoon Haiyan Mapping Progress - suggestions for wider areas

[maning sambale]

Trying to get in contact with local responders on where they need
basemap. Lot of crisismapping happening elsewhere (tagging tweets,
google crisis map, etc.) for now, I also suggest to map major roads,
bridges, rivers and small villages (landuse=residential).

 Yes, I think this is a reasonable plan of action.  I looked a Guiuan
 during my initial assessment and concluded that although it would
 likely be hit hard the focus should be on Tacloban for two reasons.
 1) the storm surge will likely have been higher in Tacloban do to the
 shape of the coastline there and the direction of the storm/winds and
 2) Guiauan was very small.

 However at this point, point number 2 kind of works to our advantage
 since a small 'detatchment' of mappers could map it entirely pretty
 quickly.  As for working westwards back towards Tacloban along the
 coast, I think that seems reasonable.  All of the villages along the
 coast there are pretty small so mapping them all in detail is
 something that is in the realm of possibility.  We are picking up a
 huge response to this storm, and I expect we will continue to get more
 volunteers as reports of damage start to come in.  This is also a
 holiday weekend in the States which further works to our advantage.

 I am not sure if we should start a task manager task for Guiauan
 itself, or for the whole southern coast there.  The other possibility
 is just to split up the towns to individual mappers in the detatchment
 team and leave the task manager job for the other volunteers.  Any
 suggesions or ideas?

Re: [HOT] Preparations for Typhoon Haiyan

[maning sambale]

(Adding the talk-ph list)

Thank you Andrew and Harry for coordinating.  There were discussions
in the local list to also focus on mapping
the same general area as you mentioned [0].

Another concern is the island of Bohol island [1] also along the
typhoon path.  Bohol was one of the most severely affected
by the magnitude 7.2 earthquake last week. Many of the residents are
still in makeshift houses and maybe affected by strong winds and heavy
rains. Unfortunately imagery in this area is very limited.

Advance thanks for those helping.

PS.  I just got home from another OSM 3-day training for DRR with a
local government unit and DRR personnel.  We finished the training
today, but most of our participants are in full alert tonight in
preparation for the possible rescue and response operations due to
Haiyan/Yolanda within their respective town/villages.

 Hello everyone,

 Currently a category 5 typhoon named Haiyan (also being called Yolanda
 in the Philippines) is currently headed for the Philippines.  The eye
 of the storm should make landfall about 24 hours from now and it will
 continue westward over the islands over the course of about a day
 after that.

 The storm track has very high confidence from the computer models
 predicting its path so this gives us an opportunity to begin mapping
 the affected areas before the storm even hits.  You can see the
 predicted track as well as the current location of the storm at the
 short URL below (which is a link to the 'WunderMap' from Weather
 Underground, a great site for this kind of info).  Note that although
 the storm itself is quite large only the strip along the center of the
 ground track where the eye will pass (about 20 to 50 miles wide) will
 be heavily affected by winds and storm surge, although a wide area
 will recieve heavy rain so flooding and landslides are possible,
 especially given that the ground is already saturated from another
 storm that passed the area just a few days ago.

 http://wxug.us/19i5j


 The town most likely to be affected significantly is the town of
 Tacloban (Population ~220,000).  There have already been about 2,500
 people evacuated in this town and I would expect that this is where
 relief efforts (if they come) will be centered.  Although the
 population is fairly large, the town is pretty packed together and
 mapping it should not take too long.

 I have created a task manager job to help coordinate any mapping
 efforts, but this should not be taken as indication of steps toward
 activation, we are still just preparing in case the situation becomes
 an emergency, it is not an emergency yet and there has been no call
 for mapping at this time.  This is all just to be prepared.

 http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/338


 Also, to further coordinate Harry Wood has created a wiki page for the
 typhoon event as a whole.  Again, this is just being done as a
 precaution, no call for activation yet.  Please contribute if you have
 time, but if you are working on other more urgent tasks then those
 should probably remain your priority.

 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Typhoon_Haiyan_(2013)


 Thank you in advance to anyone who contributes to the mapping and
 hopefully we will be prepared if our maps end up being needed.
