Is there anything we could do now - just in case?

Hi Paul,

Old US maps of the area are available there :
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/pakistan.html

Professor David Petley's blog is very interesting :
http://daveslandslideblog.blogspot.com/

This subject was mentioned on HOT list :
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/hot/2010-May/000115.html

Mapping of the area could certainly be improved, including upstream of 
the landslide dam. And David Petley has estimated that a catastrophic 
breach could have consequences down to the Tarbela dam.

Unfortunately, there does not seem to be many OSM-compatible sources 
available, beside Landsat and the above maps.

With best wishes,

Jean-Guilhem

Hi,

All of these maps can actually be warped using
http://warper.geothings.net/
The software will automatically create a JOSM wms layer link.
I have no idea if these maps provide any more detail than what is currently
available.   But this is 1 option to explore.
Unfortunately, im not yet proficient at warping, otherwise i would convert a
few of these maps myself.

Cheers,
Sam
