Hi Katja,
I have not reviewed the areas yet for how difficult the mapping is due
to imagery or terrain, but the objects to map are for mappers of any
experience level.
Basically it is a buildings and roads mapping project, and open areas,
which should be easy to spot as well.
If you can't decide if something is a sports pitch or open area in a
settlement (leisure=common) or a flat grass area, then it probably is
_not_ one. These areas should be easy and clear to identify.
When I map today, if I see anything that looks confusing I'll write back
or maybe Humberto or someone else with on the ground experience can help
clarify things.
And of course, please send us questions if you find individual things
you are not sure about.
Cheers,
Blake

Hi Humberto, Blake and all,
thanks for putting this on the agenda!
Is this a task for more experienced mappers? I consider myself an
average OSM/HOT mapper but I have no experience in displaced persons
crisis. I read the instructions, from what I understood the goal is to
map possible areas for shelters or camps, is that correct?
Regards
Katja

Greetings everyone,
HOT member and coordinator in Colombia, Humberto Yances, received a
request from a local OCHA Colombia official to map some border areas
that are currently dealing with a displaced persons crisis.
Humberto provided this overview of the situation (machine translated):
Under the state of emergency declared by the Constitutional Government
of Venezuela from August 21, in ten municipalities of Tachira, 1,482
Colombians were deported to Norte de Santander, Arauca, La Guajira and
Vichada. The figures are still rising in other border departments, and
reports of arrivals received in other municipalities and capital cities.
The most affected department remains Norte de Santander, where 15,176
people have been officially characterized as returned and are in the
process of being listed in the Register Unique Victims (RUD)
administered by the National Unit for Disaster Risk Management (UNGRD).
The two projects for this are here:
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1190
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1191
They are not large areas so I think we can get them mapped pretty
quickly if we can get some good numbers mapping.
Regards,
Blake
