[HOT] Status of #Map4Ebola (#OpenStreetMap #DRC #Ebola response as of 1-June morning.

[nicolas chavent]

Hi all-

A quick email to request an update on the current status of the current
#Ebola #DRC #OSM response.
It would be great for all involved so far in this response to get a status
of the current response :
How is this crisis dealt with overall at this stage of the outbreak ?
Are the key information needs covered so far ?
Are we done with data creation since no new mapping tasks are published so
far ?
Have we to focus solely on validation and is the mapping project #3 [1] in
the Tasking Manager so far the only remaining task ?

We are 15 Western African mappers gathered for a one week GIS/OSM training
as part of #EcoleGeomatiqueLibre in IRD Bondy campus, after 3 days on
GIS/Remote sensing, we will start with OSM and have tomorrow 2-June a
mapathon lined up.
In Bamako  #Mali a 2 weeks OSM/GIS capacity building mission is also
ongoing.
Without clear indication on the status of the Ebola response and its
information unmet needs we will focus on Western African and Mali mapping
projects.

2 side notes to learn from this response
I shall not have had to write his email since anyone mapping in the course
of a crisis response is expected to get regular updates on its impacts and
the information gaps met or unmet ; I had to take some time off this
training for an un-necessary.
When a crisis strikes in a French speaking country, these information shall
flow also if not primarily in French speaking communication channels.

Thanks in advance for getting back to us on current needs so that we plan
our training/mapping efforts accordingly and keep helping out like we did
so far or get back to other urgent tasks.
Excellent day

Nicolas

[HOT] Update on Sri Lanka Floods

[Blake Girardot HOT/OSM]

Dear humanitarian mappers,

Thank you for supporting the folks facing the devastating floods in Sri Lanka!

More data on the areas most affected by flooding is just coming in to
the Sri Lanka Disaster Management Center (DMC) over the past 6 hours
and now to us for project planning.

Malinga, the lead for the HOT/OSM community response, is reviewing
that data and looking at where our initial project covers. Good news
is the priority area is directly where the data is needed, but as soon
as we can get the priority area mapped, we will probably archive the
existing project and replace it with a new project based on the new
impact data.

The latest projects on the Tasking Manager for Sri Lanka can be found here:

Thank you again, please keep mapping if you can, and please check back
when you can as there is still a great need for your skills and time
in this disaster. It is still raining in several parts of the western
and southern provinces and more rain is forecast.

Respectfully,
Blake
