Re: [Talk-ca] Fort McMurray forest fires

Hello Let me know if you want me to connect you to the emergency managers in the area. I will give them a heads up that you are talking about it Two of them are big fans of osm so they might help. But i leave this decision with you. Heather On 6 May 2016 04:59, "Simon Wood"

[Talk-ca] Fwd: Re: Fort McMurray forest fires

Fort McMurray is the 5th largest city in the province of Alberta and has been evacuated in the face of wildfires which have burned thousands of structures. Satellites have been tasked to gather imagery, but it probably won't be very useful imagery for OSM until the smoke has cleared. My guess

The regional municipality of Wood Buffalo has municipal orthophotos and they also have orthophotos from Pictometry taken in May 2015. I know that Pictometry allows my organization to freely distribute the

Re: [Talk-ca] Fort McMurray forest fires

As far I can tell from the imagery available (Bing & Mapbox), the data from Geobase & Canvec are not up-to-date, neither for roads nor for buildings, and I do not see who in Ottawa could have them, StatCan? Daniel From: James [mailto:james2...@gmail.com] Sent: May-05-16 12:42 To: john whelan

C'est un projet que la communauté OSM du Canada est capable de gérer. Tout comme John, je pense que les municipalités sont assez bien équipées en outils SIG et inventaire des immeubles.  Lors des inondations à Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu en 2011, les municipalités avaient des cartes très précises

Re: [Talk-ca] Fort McMurray forest fires

They may have a city GIS team, but is that data publically available? Nope. Heck their "server" might even be toast as most of the city is going up in flames. Better to have data available, then none at all. On Thu, May 5, 2016 at 12:36 PM, john whelan wrote: > I'm not so

Re: [Talk-ca] Fort McMurray forest fires

I'm not so sure of how much value this is. HOT doesn't activate until it gets a request from the ground for that reason. If it does then we get two tile systems over the same area. Fort McMurray almost certainly has a City GIS system that has details of every building, Ottawa certainly does.

Re: [Talk-ca] Fort McMurray forest fires

I think we'll have to wait until the fire is put out before we get satelite imagery. What I can do is create a task on tasks.osmcanada.ca for Fort McMurray and we can trace buildings as they are not all there On Thu, May 5, 2016 at 11:28 AM, Andrew MacKinnon wrote: > As you

[Talk-ca] Fort McMurray forest fires

As you are probably aware by now, a large portion of Fort McMurray, Alberta has been destroyed by forest fires. Is any freely licensed aerial imagery of the affected area available yet? Will the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap team be creating a project for Fort McMurray?
