Re: [HOT] Mapping Northern Nigeria ?

Hi all, The situation there will likely evolve. More destructions, more informal settlements from refugees, and (hopefully) ultimately rebuilding when things settle. 1. There might be an interest in keeping track of all these changes, and this can be done by looking at feature history or dif

Thank you Michael, Blake, and Russell. I understand, wait for the availability of images of DG in OSM for identification of devastated buildings. Good to know that there was already this tag "building=damaged/collapsed" (and sad), it renders very informatively and solve it in just one tagging.Ch

Hello Sérgio, It's not hard to find those devasted areas and buildings by comparing the images in OSM with recent publicly released satellite images. Guess it would be a great help for humanitarian efforts related to destruction and population displaced (I think also on tasks of Gaza, tsunam

Re: [HOT] Mapping Northern Nigeria ?

Hi everyone, Thanks for your contributions ! After carefully reading you, I assume that as long as there isn’t any specific need expressed by NGOs on the field, the most urgent task would be to complete the road network. As indicated by Rafael, we might start by the existing tasks and set up a new

Forgot to say that I agree with Russell: It would be very important to know which organizations are interested or are already working in relief efforts in the field, and what their needs are. Cheers, Rafael. 2015-01-15 17:37 GMT-03:00 Rafael Avila Coya : > Hi all: > > There has been an active
