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.

Voici un nouveau billet de blog
http://hot.openstreetmap.org/updates/2014-04-15_2014_west_africa_ebola_outbreak_response_second_updatequi
attend son traducteur/sa traductrice pour être accessible en langue
française ; contactez la liste hot si vous avez temps/ énergie et volonté
de faciliter l'appropriation du travaill de la communauté HOT/OSM sur cette
réponse de crise

Excellente journée à tous/toutes

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:

Re: [HOT] Ebola Outbreak Guinea - West Africa, Mapping to support CartONG - MSF-CH - IFRC

2014-04-07 Thread Pierre Béland
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).

Thanks Bruno and Mapbox to provide this imagery for Mamou. This will let us 
support CartONG - MSF Switzerland and IFRC / Red Cross with this activation in 
Western Africa.

I created a new Task Manager job to map Mamou in detail and we invite 
contributors to map in detail.
