Re: [HOT] Ebola Outbreak Guinea - West Africa, Mapping to support CartONG - MSF-CH - IFRC
Thanks to Jean-Guilhem who obtained new imagery for the region concerned by this Ebola Outbreak. This give us the opportunity to complete tracing the highway network of the region most affected by this Outbreak. Road Navigation data can be imported in OSMAnd / Android and GPS Garmi and facilitates the humanitarians travelling in the region.

Grâce à Jean-Guilhem (plaidoyer/traitement/serveur avec soutien OSM_FR) de nouvelles images satellite couvrant les territoires affectés par la crise Ebola ont été mises à disposition de la communauté HOT/OSM. Cette extension de l'imagerie nous permet de poursuivre la cartographie du réseau routier des zones affectées et de contribuer à la réponse via ce composant fondamental de la carte de base disponible sous tous formats et notamment terminaux mobiles et GPS qui sont d'une aide précieuses pour les travailleurs en première ligne dans la réponse à cette crise.

This is amazing. It's worth emphasizing to the world out there that this type of response is not possible with any other map but OpenStreetMap: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/lxbarth/diary/21623 On Thu, Apr 10, 2014 at 2:52 AM, Mark Cupitt markcup...@gmail.com wrote: Brilliant ..

Re: [HOT] Ebola Outbreak Guinea - West Africa, Mapping to support CartONG - MSF-CH - IFRC
Up to yesterday, this Activation has been now running for 12 days, and 336 contributors added/modified, 1.5Million objects and 140 thousand buildings, This constant support of the OSM community is greatly appreciated by the humanitarian on the ground facing a very complex epidemy to manage. From the SPOT-6 Airbus imagery obtained by Jean-Guilhem Cailton friday, the Task manager job is mostly completed. Covering this same region, a new task is for experienced mappers to go through and validate Landuse polygons and the road classification. These are important both to let prepare good estimates of population and to provide good navigation tools for the region (ie. GPS and Android OSMAnd downloads).
