[talk-ph] Fwd: [OSM-talk] HOT Summit 2015 - Scholarship Program Announcement
FYI all.

The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team [HOT] is hosting a 3 day HOT Summit 2015 event in Washington D.C. April 30th to May 2nd 2015. It will be a chance for volunteer mappers, educators, community builders, humanitarians, geographers, programmers and other folks interested in humanitarian mapping from around the world come together to share knowledge, fellowship and generate new ideas. http://summit.hotosm.org/ The full program of speakers and break out sessions is yet to be finalized and announced, but just as important as the program itself is who is going to attend as participants. HOT's donors and supporters are offering a number of full and partial scholarships to help make attendance accessible to as many people as possible. These scholarships will cover or help defray costs for travel, lodging and attendance fees and are open to anyone who would like to come but is not able to due to the costs associated with attending the event. We would like to especially encourage people from outside the United States to attend, we want you at the HOT Summit! We are an international organization and the diversity of our community is one of our strengths. We can not be as effective as we would like without our international community members attending events like this. We need you! If costs are the only thing stopping you from attending we want to encourage you to apply for scholarship funding for part or all of your costs. Scholarship applications can be submitted here: http://goo.gl/forms/v9QDwi1sOz If you have any interest in attending from outside the United States please get in touch with us right away. We understand the idea and mechanics of traveling can be somewhat challenging, but we are here to help and you are not on your own to figure out how to get here for the Summit. Whether you would like to apply for scholarship support or not, please contact us and let us know you would like to attend. For international visitors the first step is to learn about the entry process for the US. If you are from any of the 38 countries listed here: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/visit/visa-waiver-program.html You will not need to apply for a visa, but instead follow the ESTA process. Visitors from any other countries can find out more about the visa process here: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english.html (You probably want a B Visa for visitors) Any questions? Just ask. Please. We are really looking forward to seeing you at the HOT Summit!

I agree with Andrew. We did one of these tagging guides back in 2012 when we mapped Gulu, Uganda, and it proved super helpful.

We did 3 introduction workshops on OSM-critical infrastructure-impactanalysis and 5 hands-on trainings for OSM in Samar, Cebu and Bohol. A question raised during our workshops, which was also about the mapping of critical infrastructure, was tagging emergency buildings that are used as an evacuation center during an emergency, could be normal school buildings, what kind of tags do you usually use for these objects? I could not find them in the mapping conventions for the Philippines or in the Int. feature list.

Re: [talk-ph] Missing Maps Project
Hi Eugene*,* Fantastic! We think that all three phases of Missing Maps would work in the Philippines, though the exact arrangement would depend on the site(s). There are a lot of people here in America who would like to contribute via digitization and we want to be open to that. But the real impressive work will always happen in the field and in the classroom afterwards when we digitize. To the extent possible we want to do as much of our work out of the Philippines as we can. I'll be back in the Philippines later this month and would be delighted to speak more with you all about potential opportunities. We're still lining up funding and hence can't make any promises yet, but we're very hopeful.

Re: [talk-ph] Guagua mapping progress and tagging evacuation centers
HI all, Just to reiterate Chad's points, finding a way to tag evacuation shelters would be a huge step for humanitarian uses of GIS. The Red Cross would definitely use that data and in fact already has plans to contribute such data on the drawing board. A few thoughts on the specific tagging schema: 1. Noting which type of disaster the center is meant for would be great. 2. Structural integrity is really based on analysis of other factors that are already presently included in OSM, like height, construction materials, etc. Perhaps we need to stick to those and let integrity be assessed elsewhere? 3. # of evacuees would be huge 4. Length of time is hard to estimate, but perhaps stockpiles of equipment could be marked? With a simple taxonomy like high / medium / low / none.

One common challenge is that is many parts of the world emergency shelters serve other purposes such as places of worship or community centers, so they might already be tagged with what they are used for on a daily basis. I'm not sure the best way to tag buildings with multiple functions but I'll keep an eye on this thread and look for an answer. We are currently looking into mapping emergency shelters in a few other countries and I've been contemplating this same issue.

Manning proposition about the various aspects provides significant information. I think that this is a good basis to start thinking about this. About the humanitarian Style, I am not sure that this is the place. There are many POI's and trying to add an evacuation center over this would add confusion. Also, I dont think that this would be the best option to locate rapidly the evacuation centers. If a Tsunami arize, we need this information to be available at this crucial moment. Thematic maps could be useful for both the public and the humanitarian organizations. But in case of emergencies, a wireless application that show you the way to the nearest evacuation center would be the best I think. It would be interesting to discuss all of this on the HOT IRC or a specific one for Philippines. We had such discussions for the Mali Activation in 2013. OCHA and the clusters participated to weekly discussions about various subjects like this. This is a good way to progress and motivate OSM contributors and humanitarian about working together.

If it is responders in an emergency, all they really need is the location they can plug into a gps and maybe a people capacity so they know what they are dealing with If it is end users (public), the more detailed aspect becomes debatable. You do not want people going to the wrong evacuation center for the wrong emergency. That would be disastrous. I think the tagging is great, but maybe should only be rendered on maps specific to disaster relief efforts. As it is, it is unlikely to be rendered on the new OSM Carto, so including the information will do no harm, but could make it available to organizations who need it. Manin, I think your points * type of disaster * structural integrity * number of evacuees it can accommodate * length of time of the evacuees to stay depending on the resources available are crucial to responders and would be incredibly useful for responders in a disaster in the future.
