Dunno, is it good idea to map buildings that will not be there in 3
days? :-).

I mean... we map situation on the ground, which is probably going to
change pretty soon. How exactly do these data aid future recovery
efforts, and is it really good data for openstreetmap?

Will the data be promptly updated post-hurricane?
