Bing Imagery is available for this area. To be able to start mapping
immediately, I have created a Task Manager job for Zongo.
We will have the opportunity to create other jobs later if necessary.
See http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/218
Please map in detail.

>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>Hi all,
>>>
>>>
>>>Bangui, the capital city of Central African Republic, has been taken over
>>>today by the Seleka rebels, three months after their coming from the
>>>northern part of the country. When they arrived close to Bangui in late
>>>December, we started a preparation, connecting with the humanitarian
>>>stakeholders there to identify both already affected towns as well as the
>>>ones prone to be, thanks to the EUROSHA volunteers that were deployed in
>>>Bangui (but obviously had to leave the country due this political crisis).
>>>Specific TM jobs have been created and partially completed, and an import
>>>process of the data provided by some stakeholders (eg UNICEF) have started.
>>>
>>>
>>>I just updated the OSM wiki page for CAR to coordinate the mapping goals as
>>>of today. Finishing both Bangui and secondary towns is one of them.
>>>Regarding the road network, I changed the former proposed typology by the
>>>one created for the Mali crisis. Indeed, the really impressive work made by
>>>the Hotties in charge of this activation apart, I really like this road
>>>typology that, IMHO, could be extended to the rest of Africa and maybe all
>>>the developing countries (what is the opinion from people experienced in
>>>other continents?). To involve more French speaking people, I translated it
>>>today. Pierre, might be good if you have a look on it to be sure I did not
>>>make any confusion.
>>>
>>>
>>>Some existing data, surveyed in the field by various humanitarian
>>>organizations, will be imported soon, providing health centers, schools, and
>>>watsan objects.
>>>
>>>
>>>Sincerely,
