Mike, Claudia and all;

 

As usual, you can help us ‘time’ things by adding a link, etc. to the incident

P.S. So sorry, have another business meeting at the same time, so won’t be at

Hi Mike,

 

We have tasks 1914 and 195 already lined up, so worry not, you’ll have plenty 
to do :-) Our requested area of interest is massive so we broke it into three 
parts to make it more “digestible”. 

 

If task 1913 nears completion one of the tasking manager admins will “release” 
task 1914. If this is a concern mid-mapathon please contact Mikel Maron or 
Blake Girardot promptly and they’ll sort you out.

 

Cheers,

Robert

Hi Mike,

We have tasks 1914 and 195 already lined up, so worry not, you’ll have
plenty to do :-) Our requested area of interest is massive so we broke it
into three parts to make it more “digestible”.

If task 1913 nears completion one of the tasking manager admins will
“release” task 1914. If this is a concern mid-mapathon please contact Mikel
Maron or Blake Girardot promptly and they’ll sort you out.

Cheers,

Blake,

We are having a mapathon this evening in Denver Colorado US.  We would like
to help out with Sri Lanka.  It looks like the #1913 is rapidly
progressing.  Will there be another similar Sri Lanka project posted, or is
#1913 cover the entire impacted area?

Re: [HOT] HOT is activating to map for support of the relief efforts in Sri Lanka

[Robert Banick]

Thank you Blake for managing the original updates while I got some badly
needed sleep.

Everyone, I’ve worked in Sri Lanka on and off for the past year and can
testify that a lot of my friends and co-workers are suffering from the
flooding. My Facebook is full of pictures of cars and houses swamped by
water. It’s also full of people doing good work, including from the
government side. It’s not just the obvious response tasks either: I saw
some great photos just this morning of the local roads authority battling
out in the rains to mark roads with poles so others could navigate and not
get lost.

Point is, Sri Lanka’s government is exactly the kind of strong partner HOT
wants to work with in these emergencies. The Disaster Management Centre of
Sri Lanka is very keen on OpenStreetMap and has invested a lot of effort
over the past few years to figure out how to use OSM for emergency
preparedness. If the HOT community can come together and show them how
useful it is for emergency response as well that would be fantastic.

I hope all of you can find the time to map a little. From my side I’ll try
to make that as easy and productive as possible. Anyone who wants to join
the activation team can just email me and Mikel — we’ll get them added to
the various coordination resources.

Thanks in advance HOT community!

- Robert

[HOT] HOT is activating to map for support of the relief efforts in Sri Lanka

[Blake Girardot HOT/OSM]

Sri Lanka has been hit in the past few days by flooding:

HOT has been asked to activate and immediately start tracing buildings
by the Disaster Management Center (DMC) of Sri Lanka, who work closely
with World Bank GFDRR. They are in urgent need of detailed housing
unit information.

There are links on the HOT Tasking Manager:
http://tasks.hotosm.org/

This is the earliest phase of response so we are actively working to
find other actors on the ground that the HOT Community can collect and
provide geo data for. This means that you should check the front page
of the tasking manager often, different jobs to support different
ground activities might be coming up.

HOT members Robert Banick and Mikel Maron will be leading HOT's
response to this crisis. They can be contacted at:

mikel.ma...@hotosm.org
rban...@gmail.com

If you’d like to help with coordination, speak up, and we’ll bring you
into the Slack channel and Trello.

Regretfully,
