[HOT] Urgent Request - Nepal Earthquake - What data can be shared on the maps?

[Felix Fiedler]

Hi there!
First of all, great job you're doing with your project!
I could not find the information about what the HOT-Map is capable and time is 
short for us.I'm here in Pokhara and close to a very busy NGO which got lots of 
information about state of help in villages, roads open or not, contact 
information to villages etc.Whilst we where trying to find options to share 
this information to other organisations aswell for people out in the field, we 
found the HOT project. 

- So if anyone could be so kind and tell me if this project is an option for 
our purposes.- Do you know other tools that might be interesting for us, for 
"output" aswell for gathering information in an easy way from the individuals 
beeing in the field or coming back from there.

Thanks a lot for you help!
Felix

Hey Felix,
The simplest failsafe tool that comes to mind that use the map data we have
put together is fieldpapers: http://fieldpapers.org

You can basically generate A4 sized pdfs of maps for an area of interest.
Field workers can use this to navigate on the ground, and also collect
additional information on the paper including corrections.

These prints can later be scanned and used as a reference by mappers online
to update the map data back on openstreetmap
 which will become
available to all other map users..

Hi Felix,

I am there sure there are others on this list much more qualified than
me to help you record, display and share this data.

Could you perhaps let us know exactly what kind of data it is and in
what format it is?

My guess is that some of the data would fit in directly with our
systems and be very valuable (geo located facilities, camps, road
status, etc) and some of it would be better as a separate layer in a
different system with our map as the underlying base layer.

Off the top of my head it sounds like maybe
http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/ might be a good place for the data that
is more informational and is very functional.

I look forward to speaking with you further. Please contact me off
list about how you can enter the road status data or how you might
pass it to us to enter and maybe some of that visually goes into the
umap I listed above.

I believe umap has an option for a private map, but most of them are
open so maybe some of the contact info would not be a good fit.

Anyway, just an option, like I said, others probably have some better
suggestions.

Cheers,
Blake

Hi Felix, for your purposes, you should also look at http://quakemap.org
for your purposes. The data that you are talking about seems to be of the
nature that is more appropriate for this level of "overlay" data rather
than for the OSM basemap itself.

If you can let us know a local phone number to get in touch with you, we at
Kathmandu Living Labs can call and figure out with you which of your data
is appropriate for OSM, which of it is appropriate for quakemap.org. You
can also get in touch with us at 01-620-5000

Hi Felix, 

Kathmandu Living Labs are doing a great job to support the various 
organizations directly from Kathmandu. They prepare various products. See 
http://kathmandulivinglabs.github.io/quake-maps/
You will find a more general description on our wiki of this event 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2015_Nepal_earthquake about the various 
products offered by the OSM community.
 OSMand let's have a map + navigation on smartphone or tablet and do not 
require network connection. 

I coordinate this OSM response from abroad with the Kathmandu Living lab folks. 
We are also interested about various informations including road conditions.
Do not hesitate to contact me directly also.
regard
