Dear Julio, (it's easier for me to write in English, since you understand)

David writes:

"Having said that we do see that imagery will be available for wider use in Chile as well. "

My understanding, in this context, is that "wider use" would likely include tracing by OSM.
(But no specific imagery is mentioned)

It would probably be best to ask him (and/or specific imagery sources) for clarification, and also how the source image would be available.


Getting in touch with Chile institutions ONEMI and SNIT would certainly be a good thing ("any effort should be centred on their needs and guidance"). I see there is a contact at ONEMI for the Charter at:
http://www.un-spider.org/page/3287/spaceaid-available-space-based-information-earthquake-and-tsunami-chile


I have heard that Chile has now decided to accept the help of the international community. This would be a way people from abroad could contribute, along with fellow Chile citizens, like those whose effort you are organising.

Best,

Jean-Guilhem

Estimado Jean-Guilhem,

En la misma linea de las preguntas de Mikel (No me quedo del todo claro con la respuesta de David), ¿Tienes alguna claridad sobre la liberación de la licencia de GeoEye una vez que sus imágenes estén disponibles? (Obviamente la frase: "5 disasters since Haiti and none of them received the same attention and dedication as Haiti" me preocupa)

El resto de las imágenes ya disponibles están bien, pero la alta resolución es muy necesaria para avanzar en el trazado y etiquetado de todos los pueblos de la zona afectada.

Gracias todos por su ayuda y cooperación.

Saludos,

Dear Jean-Guilhem,

In the same line of Mikels questions (I did not see it clear on Davids response), Are you clear on the liberation of GeoEyes data license once their imagery is available? (Obviously the phrase "5 disasters since Haiti and none of them received the same attention and dedication as Haiti" concerns me)

The already available images are alright, but high resolution imagery is quite necessary to trace and tag all the towns on the affected area.

Thank you all for your help and cooperation.

Cheers,

    Mikel,

    I wanted to put forward some info and help build upon your proposal.

    First of all I do want to say that UN-SPIDER is a UN Programme
    that has been specifically mandated by all UN Member States to
    help all countries as well as regional and international
    organisations to access and use space-based information. It is an
    interesting mandate because it means ensuring access and use as
    well as building capacity. We don't produce maps. We ensure end
    users and their partners are able to do it and use it for decision
    making. The fact we have the mandate means we work closely with
    the government institutions responsible for emergency response and
    disaster risk management and also with partners supporting these
    end users. More importantly after the response phase is gone and
    the media chasers have packed their bags and gone after another
    spotlight we continue working with the Government as in the case
    in Haiti: our work begins now as we help the Civil Protection
    Agency rebuild and get ready including for the next hurricane season.

    We are a Cooperating Body for the United Nations to the
    International Charter which means whenever the UN is involved in
    an emergency response we activate the International Charter as has
    been the case for both Haiti and Chile.

    The Charter does not make the imagery data available but only the
    end products. In some mega disasters imagery does become available
    for free as was the case during the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and
    the Haiti earthquake. We are working to ensure that imagery
    becomes a bit more widely available and not only for mega
    disasters. We have been involved and supported 5 disasters since
    Haiti and none of them received the same attention and dedication
    as Haiti.

    Having said that we do see that imagery will be available for
    wider use in Chile as well. We have updated the info on what is
    being made available on our webpage

    http://www.un-spider.org/chile

    Two requests

    First if the crisismapper community could help us include info on
    available imagery and geospatial data that would help. I know
    there are several other portals as well with similar info but for
    sure our end users do access the UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal first.
    Please feel free to replicate the info we have on other portals as
    well. We would appreciate a link to our portal. And we will ensure
    we include a link to the other portals. Please send us any info to
    include to the following e-mail: space...@unoosa.org
    <mailto:space...@unoosa.org>

    Then regarding the mapping support for Chile we are open for
    suggestions. In Chile there are strong and efficient government
    institutions in place, both ONEMI and SNIT, and any effort should
    be centred on their needs and guidance.

    One last useful info: UN-SPIDER is implemented by the United
    Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs. We are part of the UN
    Secretariat and we are the UN Office responsible for promoting the
    access and use of space-based technologies and solutions. Space is
    our business and our mandate.

    Regards

    David

        Colleagues

        Can we replicate the true environment of sharing that began in
        the response to Haiti?

        We are all at ready to respond once we hear the needs for
        Chile. OSM is ready to map, CrisisCamps are planned, there is
        an OSM Chile community who we are trying to get through to.
        http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2010_Chile_earthquake
Simply, we need imagery we can use. I was hoping this would be
        an issue we all could discuss in the next few months, but now
        the need is urgent.
        The basic question ... will licensing allow use of the raw
        imagery data for response?

        * DigitalGlobe, GeoEye: Are acquisitions planned yet? Will
        license terms be dropped again?

        * Google: If you post imagery, can you make sure OSM has an
        exception to the non-commercial clause?

        * UN Charter: Any possibility of sharing imagery with
        volunteer groups?

        * Chris Schmidt/Schuyler Erle: Would you be ready to process
        imagery again?

        All ... any other sources or thoughts?

        Best
        Mikel
