Dear Kevin and DigitalGlobe Team,
This is wonderful is DigitalGlobe can provide high res images of the
affected areas. I checked on Kathmandu but indeed the latest images are
still very cloudy.
Is there somewhere a list of the new images made progressively available
so that one can check which areas are being added at which time?
I am particularly interested in the area of Timure village (Rasuwa
District) North of Kathmandu close to the Chinese border:
https://services.digitalglobe.com/myDigitalGlobe/#16/28.2539/85.3677
The latest DigitalGlobe image there dates back from 2012. There are
currently 20-30 trekkers there waiting to come back to Kathmandu but
apparently they are not sure the road is practicable all along the way.
Recent high res imagery -if not too cloudy- would be super helpful for them.
Thanks,
Chris

DigitalGlobe has open sourced pre and post event imagery for Nepal.
(Official blog post with license info forthcoming). All imagery is
licensed for OpenStreetMap usage. Using this portal below, you'll be
able to view and download imagery, as well as creating OGC endpoints.
To download, zoom in and click the "camera" button. To create
endpoints, there is a "Use With" button on top.
Useable imagery is up now, we've been collecting despite cloudy
conditions. This imagery was collected at a very high off nadir angle
so accuracy will not be as good as typical DG imagery, and you'll
notice increased building lean. In the next few hours, we will be
making several more attempts with the entire constellation. As new
imagery is collected, it will be processed and added to this service.
