Hey- The Tropical Storm Emily<http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at5+shtml/084825.shtml?5-daynl?large#contents>is about to hit Haiti in the next hours, it's unclear how big its impact will be at this stage. The local OSM group (COSMHA) and HOT (on site and remote) made sure to see the OSM capacities considered in the plan for the response to the storm being involved in coordination meetings and offering post disaster surveying capacities deployable on affected areas. Warnings were sent to HOT partners on imagery (unosat, spot, nga) in case post imagery is being tasked & released
Asides of these measures, some assistance in importing datasets would be helpful to make the OSM data better and more relevant on the following layers * administrative boundaries - Données Opérationnelles Communes<http://haiti.humanitarianresponse.info/Default.aspx?tabid=94>(Frontiere Internationale, Departements, Commune, Section Communale) this tasks had been pushed back so far. * populated places - clairification on license ongoing * last layer of camps of displaced persons <http://www.cccmhaiti.info/z_dtm_v2_report_may_2011.php>by IOM Great if anyone interested to help on this can liase with us More in the next hours Nicolas -- Nicolas Chavent Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti Mobile (Haiti): +509 389 583 05 Mobile (France): +33 6 89 45 54 58 Landline (FRA): +33 2 97 26 23 08 Email: [email protected] Skype: c_nicolas Twitter: nicolas_chavent
