Hi Everyone,
please read below request sent to the SDI-Africa list. Is there anything we can do for Karl and his team? rgds, Reinier ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [SDI-Africa] Anyone can share Brazzaville GIS data? Date: Tuesday 06 March 2012, 13:06:40 From: Karl Hennermann <[email protected]> To: [email protected] CC: [email protected] Dear all, You probably heard about yesterday's blasts in Brazzaville, killing at least 180 people and injuring over 1300. I work with MapAction, the international disaster mapping organisation (www.mapaction.org), and we will probably send a team to Brazzaville later today to assist in the relief efforts, in particular to create maps for Search and Rescue and recovery activities. However, as with all things GIS, we depend on data. If you have detailed (city level or regional) map data on Brazzaville and/or Kinshasa and are able to share this for the relief efforts please send the data, along with a short description to *[email protected]* In particular we are looking for data on: - city basemaps (road maps) - Government/ official buildings - Schools, hospitals, etc - Utilities - Local and inner-urban administrative divisions - Inner urban population Data can be in GIS data formats, scanned maps, spreadsheets, anything really on the listed topics. We already have data from OSM, Goggle and Bing Maps, so no further need for these. Thank you Karl Hennermann on behalf of MapAction www.mapaction.org ----------------------------------------- -- rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. www.mountbatten.net tel: +256 758 801749 twitter: @batje _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
