Hello everyone, Bumping this up. We have activated few more tasks based on the priority from the ground support staff. American Red Cross and local aid groups are downloading OpenStreetMap data and using it to plan rescue missions - this is huge and important.
Few Red Cross staff is taking some of the maps with them to Kathmandu right now. https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/hot/2015-April/008102.html The Kathmandu Living Labs is mobilising as well. There aren't any other datasets that we can rely on at this point. See what the status of Google Maps http://lxbarth.com/compare/#16/27.6892/85.3237 We need more hands to knock off these tasks - http://tasks.hotosm.org/ Arun and I have put together a good starting documentation here - https://datameet.hackpad.com/Nepal-Earthquake-Mapping-YDjLauUK0Ek All map data is updated and packaged for download every 30 minutes - if you know anyone going up there for rescue operations consult - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2015_Nepal_earthquake (paper/digital maps) Mapbox Bangalore is open throughout this week for anyone - we are well equipped. If you are interested in helping, please get in touch or respond to this thread. Cheers, Sajjad.
