Re: [talk-ph] Guagua mapping progress and tagging evacuation centers
So the idea is that evacuation centers are marked in OSM and additional, time-sensitive data are linked externally to these features?

One thing I would like to clarify: For DRR managers, they need to be aware of the quality and capacity of evacuation centers categorized according to: * type of disaster * structural integrity * number of evacuees it can accommodate * length of time of the evacuees to stay depending on the resources available These points were discussed during one of our meetings with the LGU's DRRM officials, The context of the discussion was, beyond the location of the evacuation_center what other information are needed by locals and responders during a crisis? It was not the intention to add and maintain such information within OSM.

It will dangerous to have it in OSM without any update and perhaps an option should be to access to an external database.

[talk-ph] Fwd: [OSM-talk] IEEE Conference in Montreal, ShareSlide available, HOT Response to Haiyan and Ebola outbreak
-- Forwarded message -- From: Pierre Béland pierz...@yahoo.fr Date: Fri, Jun 6, 2014 at 7:02 AM Subject: [OSM-talk] IEEE Conference in Montreal, ShareSlide available, HOT Response to Haiyan and Ebola outbreak To: HOT Discussion list h...@openstreetmap.org, OSM Talk discussion list t...@openstreetmap.org At the IEEE conference in Montreal, june 1. I presented the two recent Activations for the Haiyan Typhoon in Philippines and the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Below is the link to the Shareslide of my presentation where some Videos are inserted. http://fr.slideshare.net/pierzen/open-streetmap-responsetohumanitariancrisishaiyanebolaieeemontreal20130601 I wanted to show the context of intervention when respond to such humanitarian crisis, how the OSM community progressed rapidly and offered innovative products. The contributions in collaboration with the Red Cross (Tacloban) and with CartONG / MSF and Red Cross (Ebola outbreak) were awesome. The various products and services provided to the humanitarians made the difference as expressed by the various media updates. A study has been presented recently by REACH about the Damage assessments made by the OSM community for the Haiyan Typhoon. Like all the other organizations that did these assessments, we used satellite imagery of 50 cm resolution of poor quality. In storm related events, this is a real problem. You can appreciate with the various comparisons of imagery presented. Progress has been made to assure usability of OSM data for the humanitarian organizations and Wireless applications offer a good potential to progress in this direction. As more projects are developped with the humanitarian community, we should progress with more usability of the OSM data in the future activations, and respond to the needs of these organizations in quite challenging operational contexts. Every new intervention is different and the international community has to improvize and respond rapidly. About lessons learned, let's hope that we will be able to find ways to even better integrate the remote participation of the OpenStreetMap community with the UN Agencies and International organizations in the future. regard Pierre ___ talk mailing list t...@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
