Hi Robert and HOT members:
I'm a HOT member in Japan. We have shared "The inland mapping task" to Japanese mappers. http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1258 Major mappers are newbies, because they are students. If you can, I want to translate some description in Japanese for beginners in Japan. Could you add editable permission to me? http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/MAPconcierge Regards, from Taichi 2015-10-25 22:03 GMT+09:00 Robert Banick <[email protected]>: > *Versión en Español viniendo pronto* > > Hi all, > > Hurricane Patricia has been downgraded to a tropical depression. In > practical terms this marks its end as a notable weather event. Thanks to a > lucky storm path that avoided population centers and good preparedness work > by the Mexican authorities not a single person died. However, significant > property damage occurred and much rebuilding remains to be done, > particularly along the coast. We anticipate HOT's data will assist > reconstruction in the affected areas. > > HOT, in coordination with the OSM MX commnunity, has been active the past > two days tracking the hurricane's progress and mapping vulnerable areas in > its path. We have two mapping tasks open on the OSM Tasking Manager ( > tasks.hotosm.org): a task covering coastal areas in the storm's path and > a task mapping more inland areas. We do not anticipate opening additional > tasks but we are monitoring the situation in case landslides, floods or > other post-hurricane hazards create humanitarian situations we can > contribute to. > > Thanks to the hard work of volunteers like yourself we've made good > progress. At present the coastal mapping task ( > http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1257) is almost completely mapped but > only partly validated; validators would be most appreciated on this task. > The inland mapping task (http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1258) is only > 15% complete and needs a lot more work. For those who are new to HOT or OSM > and still want to contribute, this second task is a perfect place to start. > > Additionally, HOT is working with data providers to prepare one or more > data imports for the affected areas. We have received explicit permission > from the Mexican Government to import anything on its open data site ( > http://datos.gob.mx/) into OSM - a very exciting first. Potential data > useful for Patricia includes administrative boundaries, roads, schools > and/or hospitals. For those who are curious about this, please follow the > osm-imports list (https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports) where > we will post plans for any import(s). > > Thank you to all those who have contributed so far in small ways or large. > We appreciate the efforts of each and every one of you so very much. > > With all the best, > Robert, Humberto and Rafael > > *Key Links* > > For those curious for additional details about this activation, please > refer to the project wiki: > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2015_Hurricane_Patricia > > For those just getting started with HOT / OSM or just curious, check out > MapGive, which explains why this work is so important: > http://mapgive.state.gov/why-map/ > > If you want to learn more about mapping after that, go through the mapbox > tutorials: > https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/wiki/Mapping-with-OpenStreetMap > > — > Sent from Mailbox <https://www.dropbox.com/mailbox> > > _______________________________________________ > HOT mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot > > -- ## Taichi FURUHASHI ## Professor of School of Global Studies and Collaboration, Aoyama Gakuin Univ. ## President of MAPconcierge Inc. ## Director of OpenStreetMap F.
