[Talk-ca] Red Cross and Fort McMurray Fires
Hi everyone, I'm helping coordinate the Canadian Red Cross' use of GIS in their activities responding to the Fort McMurray fires. Staff has been very busy but we're ramping up and exploring options for how to leverage different tools and data sources to support the Red Cross operations. The focus is on the evacuees, many of which have dispersed to distant locations around the country. When residents are allowed to return to the town and longer-term recovery activities become a priority, I foresee having an excellent OSM base layer as being a valuable asset. Both for facilitating operational decisions, and demonstrating the power of the OSM community and easily accessible geo-data with an open license! I would love to connect with those involved in coordinating the current tasks up on http://tasks.osmcanada.ca/. Is the best channel of communication through this list or via Skype or some other means? All the best, Dan Joseph GIS Officer | International Services | American Red Cross Skype danielbjoseph | Twitter @danbjoseph | OSM ID danbjoseph ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
Re: [Talk-ca] Red Cross and Fort McMurray Fires
What exactly do you need of me? Prioritize areas to get mapped? We have tasks for the buildings, addresses and streets(which I think have been imported via CanVec) and a validation layer On Fri, May 13, 2016 at 2:14 PM, Dan Joseph wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I'm helping coordinate the Canadian Red Cross' use of GIS in their > activities responding to the Fort McMurray fires.

Re: [Talk-ca] Red Cross and Fort McMurray Fires
Hi James, It looks like some good progress is being made on the tasks. Tasks #22 and #23 are focused on mapping different features but it looks like #24 overlaps in focus. Perhaps that task should be archived until the other two are completed to avoid confusion among newcomers to the site? Task #23 only provides minimal instructions (*Add address data via GeoBase. Add missing Roads and Street names.*). Would more people feel comfortable contributing if detailed instructions were included? It seemed the task is referring to the dataset described here: http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/geobase/official/nrn_rrn/doc/NRN.pdf Is the Canada open government licence compatible with OSM?

Re: [Talk-ca] Red Cross and Fort McMurray Fires
Have you talked to dale.ku...@redcross.org? A coordinated approach might be better. OSM can use data obtained through the Gov Canada open data portal and has done in the past as far as I am aware.

Re: [Talk-ca] Red Cross and Fort McMurray Fires
Yes CanVec data is compatible with OSM as there was an agreement between the Canadian gov and osm in the past. NRCan even serves up osm files for their CanVec Data here: http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/OSM/pub/ #24 is to go deeper as in validating that data imported/mapped in 22 and 23 as some mappers might not be experts in validating data and there might be technical issues like bridges/streets that are semantically correct, but not technically correct (in this example you have to say that one street passes over another with the layer tag and a bridge tag) You could consider 22 and 23 as a "quick" mapping. Where as 24 is correcting technical issues that more experienced users (like andrew and john :P) can point out/fix problems On Fri, May 13, 2016 at 2:37 PM, Dan Joseph wrote: > Hi James, > > It looks like some good progress is being made on the tasks. > > Tasks #22 and #23 are focused on mapping different features but it looks > like #24 overlaps in focus.

Re: [Talk-ca] Red Cross and Fort McMurray Fires
Hi John, Dale is the American Red Cross GIS Team Lead. I'm on his team and have been deployed to Canada to work in-person with the Canadian Red Cross. In terms of OSM-CA / Red Cross coordination, I can be considered the point of contact on the RC side until someone within Canadian Red Cross is ready and willing to take it on.

Re: [Talk-ca] Red Cross and Fort McMurray Fires
Hello everyone OsmCanada had a meeting tonight and have traced polygons estimating the areas damaged and have named them "Fort McMurray Fire Damage Estimate". They are tagged as brownfield as the buildings have been destroyed or burnt down. The major areas affected are Thickwood, Beacon Hill and Abasand. We thought this may help the red cross immensely.
