-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We have received another request from the Red Cross for further mapping on the west Africa ebola outbreak that we have already been responding to. The new request covers roughly the same area as before, however it is a much smaller area this time, and much of the area has already been covered at a basic level from the earlier activation work.
The main area of interest is the Kailahun District of Sierra Leone. The Red Cross will have ground teams moving into this general area in the near future and they have requested mapping support to help these teams do their work. We do not have detailed information on where in the district the teams will be heading but recent news reports indicate that there have been many cases of the disease in the town of Daru, so this and the area around it would be good places to start. The specific request is to complete the road network for this area (which shouldn't take long as most is already done). After the road network is complete I think it would be worthwhile to trace buildings in all of the small villages around this area as well. The villages are so small that each one can be done in 10 minutes or so, so I think they are worthwhile to cover. Thank you in advance to anyone who contributes to this extended effort. We did an amazing job last time we worked on this region and that work is really paying off. For this request we are not starting from a blank map, but can improve upon the great work already done in the area, making our task much easier this time around. - -AndrewBuck -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJToyYZAAoJEK7RwIfxHSXbNu8P+wbFJqKecnL+kKT0Yq/7Ydaw 9PQg4eoPJOTQ0g8Jaxf7xlZSjO1JhhkqQivXSX/q1eZKBcgLN5BEa7wx7x9jh99G R9/Q14g4cVKM1OhlF8A+Vh+D4BRAfgJlxeMqsTFkkDEj6m1Tjt6q9AGMrrY3ZMvg ec25DotpgJob48Bcie6OTXDUrEPaGqWCGdG0y28w+/SryeityZqtxsY/6EBlAof5 g3h7GkeFf4Nspe6x2A+fltrD2YRwktrjfwtqIV6bQ14OyLV/N+WZKsDaACuyjNKg r9tGTdOZLEaS74y4fLhC2fSxJkD3kvCFKhmDBkzgS1MF30PIL+LWux6d2LOwZtsC OwVSDwlb/0OPgeOneGV+ZZ9BoYXWF8toAoCkyLzyHxxvVlOyNkrWp8ZXWXKy2rwB gOj3gdCNqX+cTuVdLbk5X6v2QZXIQ0wYRYsfPe9iiVGRaRu+Tdmd5YIqGqSQD1fy Q2a+k9hMZU6cVR/vUyxPNOtqLkOZNJ3Yz0/OdQiR0C7VPJnDOxyZb4BjW6cadvO+ ISYCZWPkW8ojx5YQElO8gp4cx67VQ+Scj3jVtO6Y+NfQFJf6nb85r+ws5bhuxNBb RLw6kN4ZXNgmvIbxWg6C9/qCssyy58S+rMwqFiYxNxf9uy8MGGOatd0vTF6fXa25 iQfi0BFY8okW7WNV+Xzs =74Mq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
