Re: [HOT] Pre activation in Eastern DRC - Goma
To complete the Task for Goma, North-Kivu, we invite you to participate using task http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/102 Bulongo-Mugonga town and rural areas are still to be traced. Note that the previous Task http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/97 was accidentally destroyed last night. Thirteen mappers contributed and mapped most of the urban area of Goma. See the ITO progression map. http://www.itoworld.com/map/130#lat=-1.6308543410163943lon=29.19833841903902zoom=13 Thanks to all of you. fmoine isseu johanemilsson Joseph Pollack maning mapistanbul michael63 nikkidecibel PierZen Samusz shenriod ubahnverleih WingedStone Pierre De : Pierre Béland infosbelas-...@yahoo.fr À : hot hot@openstreetmap.org Cc : Joseph Pollack josephrichardpoll...@gmail.com; nicolas chavent nicolas.chav...@gmail.com Envoyé le : Lundi 26 novembre 2012 16h37 Objet : Re: [HOT] Pre activation in Eastern DRC - Goma The job for Goma is online. see http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/97 OCHA reports that around 25,000 displaced people are in Sake from Goma.

Re: [HOT] Pre activation in Eastern DRC - Goma
Hi kate and all, Sorry for the delays in response, last days were pretty full! DRC: the crisis escalates and it seems that it forms the basis for our action. DRC osm data through the hot export: I refer to the JOSM internal preset (version as of 14 nov in the josm wiki), it provides main key/values from the main OSM map features. And can serve as a good basis for a generic OSM extracts. I emailed a couple of contacts within th UN hum system so that we can get areas of interest, overview of data and key on the ground needs. I'll continue this from Dakar where is based the regional OCHA bureau which has oversight over DRC.

Hi all, So fighting resume in the Eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where the rebel forces of the M23 took the major town of Goma (BBC News Goma http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-20405739). I have no bandwidth right now to look more closely at this sudden onset political crisis with still strong political and humanitarian consequences and scan through reports to provide a better situation update, relief web is temporarily down for DRC... The Bing Imagery over Goma looks good and shall allow to complete the current OSM map. Reports from media, and responders shall be accessible and provide us with other Areas Of Interest (AOIs). Baseline mapping (building, roads and landuses) can be of help for those responding or about to respond to this crisis. There is already a DRC page for CongoKinshasa (DRC) in the OSM wiki where a crisis page can be set up I created a job for DRC on the HOT Export tool based on the general JOSM preset : http://hot-export.geofabrik.de/jobs/1102 This can be hooked to this page.
