I agree with Andrew. We did one of these tagging guides back in 2012 when we mapped Gulu, Uganda, and it proved super helpful. It would be great to have this hosted somewhere as an example of best practices in humanitarian mapping. On Wed, Dec 10, 2014 at 9:51 AM, Andrew Buck wrote: > -BEGIN

All, I'm really bummed to say I'll miss this, as I'll still be in Tacloban. Dale and I have created a Missing Maps task for Red Cross work in Leyte, I hope you all can make a dent in it. Take lots of photos and share back any presentations from Nick! On Wed, Nov 5, 2014 at 7:28 AM, maning sambale

Hi Nick, You should check out the private data store pioneered by HOT in Indonesia. That was used to link private household data to OSM polygons. We're looking to do something similar with American Red Cross data -- still at the whiteboard stage though. Cheers, Robert On Wed, Oct 29, 2014 at 1:5

Hi All, There's also a nice article about the Missing Maps project out with Fast Co Design: http://www.fastcodesign.com/3037423/how-the-missing-maps-project-is-crowdsourcing-data-on-hundreds-of-uncharted-cities The article makes it sound like we're already up and running, when in fact we're just

So the idea is that evacuation centers are marked in OSM and additional, time-sensitive data are linked externally to these features? On Thu, Jun 5, 2014 at 1:58 AM, maning sambale wrote: > Very interesting discussions, which I think will be very helpful for > many DRR managers. One thing I wo

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 sche

Hi Maning *et al*, The American Red Cross would love to partner with OSM-PH on any trainings we develop and conduct. We've done OSM trainings before elsewhere and have some materials and approaches that we can pull across to the Philippines. If anything the Philippines is easier because English fl

This looks like municipal property data, suggesting a point of origin from a well meaning OSM enthusiast in or connected to the local government. Seems fixable... On Sat, Dec 21, 2013 at 2:13 PM, Mark Cupitt wrote: > I would not think so? I presume they are the names of the people living > here
