Dear HOT Community, I am emailing to ask for your assistance mapping Izmir, Turkey. Yesterday, October 30th, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck the region encompassing south/southeast Greece and western Turkey with the epicenter being the city of Izmir, home to about 4 million residents.
Initial reports are that human losses were minimal, which is good news. However, buildings have collapsed in the city of Izmir and our partners in Turkey, Yer Çizenler, will be visiting the sites to collect data today (October 31st). So they could use your help mapping the priority areas on TM Project #9717 <https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/9717> Cyclone Molave has also been wreaking havoc in the western pacific, causing heavy rains and a major landslide in Vietnam. The area is not very heavily populated, so our Project #9716 <https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/9716> was quickly mapped - although there is still some validation work to do. Cyclone Goni is targeting the Philippines today and current forecasts place it going directly over the capital of Manila tonight into tomorrow (November 1st), the greater metropolis being home to about 13 million residents. So stay tuned here, the Tasking manager, and/or our Slack ( Slack.hotosm.org to sign up) for further information as these situations unfold.
