Hi Dion,

 

The OpenStreetMap database (where most all of our mapping work goes) is always 
available, however the data is always changing, so depending on the activity 
level of mapping since Haiyan – it’s probably changed at lot since then.

 

On another note, myself and the HOT Executive Director helped the FEMA Corps to 
mapping for Typhoon Dolphin previously; please send me direct message if you’d 
like to discuss.

 

Thank you,

=Russ

Subject: [HOT] Haiyan HOT extracts?

 

Hi all,

 

I'm preparing a demonstration of a capability I'd like to deploy immediately 
for US military disaster relief operations in the Pacific.  Essentially I have 
geospatial analysts that are immediately deployable, and GeoSHAPE 
(geoshape.org) that provides a user friendly portal as well as GIS services.

 

For this first demonstration, I'd like to simulate a single analyst deploying 
with the initial US response, setting up a geospatial portal in an offline 
environment.  The team is able to see basic (our standard CADRG) maps as well 
as information provided by NGOs or other sources and create updates.  The GIS 
analyst is able to provide basic analysis as appropriate (e.g. flood analysis) 
using the same data.  The equipment is two laptops, one acting as a server, one 
a client.

 

For a basis of the scenario, I thought Haiyan would be very appropriate, as it 
was in our geographical region, and the U.S. had a large response, so 
presumably there is significant data on it.

 

What I'm specifically asking are:

 

- Are .osm.pbf extracts of the HOT activation for Haiyan still available?  I 
looked on the Wiki page and didn't see any obvious links to it.  Preferably an 
early extract as it most matches my scenario.

 

- Are there any other sources of data that would be good to incorporate?  What 
I'm specifically thinking is data that relief teams gathered to prioritize 
resources.

 

I found some interesting Twitter data here:

 

http://giscorps.maps.arcgis.com/apps/OnePane/basicviewer/index.html?appid=cf6031322a334cc3bfe3f9a74f23b384

 

That I've gone ahead and downloaded as well as the OCHA symbols.

 

Thanks in advance.  If I can show the usefulness of this capability and can get 
some limited funding, I think I can bring some good value add to the community.

 

Dion
