In late July 2018, severe flooding affected the Indian state of Kerala due to unusually high rainfall during the monsoon season. It was the worst flooding in Kerala in nearly a century.Over 373 people died within a fortnight, while at least 280,679 people were evacuated. It is estimated that 1,247,496 people have found shelter in various relief camps.
Disaster response websites using OpenStreetMap are the following: * Microid.in/keralaflood is used to identify flooded roads - https://www.microid.in/keralaflood/ * Keralarescue.in/map used to visualise rescue requests - https://keralarescue.in/map/ , https://process.keralarescue.in/rescue Facebook released road data generated with machine learning in Kerala and they offered help to mobilize their team to the data in OSM. Please see the discussion here: https://github.com/osm-in/mapping/issues/1 Our proposed plan is to allow FB mapping team to do the initial import using their internal tools that takes care of conflation, connectivity fixes, etc. OSM-India community will then validate the imported data focusing on the highway tagging following the India road tagging scheme: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/India:Tags/Highway Looking forward to your comments and suggestions.
