[OSM-talk] Earthquake in Mexico
Mapperos, as you know, occurred an earthquake magnitude 7.1 in Mexico. At the request of the presidency of that country and in coordination with OCHA, the Humanitarian Mapping Unit of Colombia, has requested the activation of the disasterscharter [0] for that event, The activation has been accepted, which is why the mapping task [1] proposed for the earthquake is more relevant, since the pre-disaster information that will be used will be used for the damage analysis. Therefore we ask you to help us map in this task and if possible organize mapathon with your local teams. We appreciate the timely collaboration. Cordially, Fredy Rivera President OSM Foundation Colombia Coordinator Humanitarian Mapping Unit #UMH [0] https://disasterscharter.org/web/guest/activations/-/article/earthquake-in-mexico-activation-553- [1] http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/3597 -- ## |___|__\___ | _ | |_ | } "(_)"" ""(_)" Twitter: @fredy_rivera Titán Caracol en Técnología y Conectividad Coordinador Unidad de Mapeo Humanitario #UMH Presidente Fundación OSM Colombia Phone: 3044886255 ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
