Incredible! it just might be a ploy to justify more government spendings :) I guess its up to us to really inform the government that OSM can really help.

Re: [talk-ph] Fwd: Planning ahead of disasters with GIS
I'm all for unifying GIS data for the whole Philippines, but before they get on another mapping spending spree, please let us know whatever happened to the geohazard mapping they initiated after the leyte landslides: http://www.newsflash.org/2004/02/pe/pe003835.htm Was it successful? Did LGUs used the data? Were lives saved because of these maps?

Re: [talk-ph] Fwd: Planning ahead of disasters with GIS
How big an area do the data sheets cover? Maybe the budget also covers data maintenance over a set number of years? Then again, the government tends to overbudget on IT projects like this. :-/ On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 4:09 PM, maning sambale emmanuel.samb...@gmail.comwrote: Pucha! I almost fell-off my chair!

In some LGUs , they have way better GIS database than what NAMRIA has. Moreover, does it make much sense to do 1:10K mapping for rugged, uninhabited areas of the Philippines? When you are looking at water flows, then this data can be very important, as it may be a drainage area for a location quite a distance away. Also when they have proper Radar installed they can then see that the rain is falling in these areas, and inform the concerned citizens miles away that they could expect a flash flood. Flash floods caused by rain in isolated areas probably kills more people, since people think it is all safe then the water rises unexpectedly elsewhere. If you are going to do a job like this it is better to do it all correctly than what they have done before which is piece meal which just adds to the frustration when disasters like this occur and you cannot even go back 20 or 40 years to get a good topographical map of the areas concerned. Do it right or not at all. Yes they can prioritise populated areas, but map the lot and then later also the other departments like land use planning, Land titles, can use them. MY 2 Centavos, I do think it is a little costly, but then again looked at your electricity bill lately (2nd most expensive in Asia) ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
