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 is there won't be a HOTUS activation associated with this
disaster. The HOT work people have been doing so far is mainly improving
the state of the area in OSM with pre-disaster sources.
If anyone gets openly licensed imagery for the area, I can host tiles
from it.

I've created a task on my tasking manager for buildings in Fort
McMurray. Tracing buildings can help us flag buildings affected by the fire

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
<http://tasks.osmcanada.ca> for Fort McMurray and we can trace
buildings as they are not all there

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?
