Re: [Talk-ca] Red Cross and Fort McMurray Fires

As Dan pointed out lets err on the side of caution here. I’ve reached out to 
AirBus to either gain some clarity on the license or potentially share the 
imagery under a license compatible with OSM.

Thanks everyone.

Hi, that url looks like the one from the gov't of Alberta web viewer. If that's

Hi James,

What was the source for the traced damage extent estimates? I was 
cross-referencing between the satellite imagery the Alberta government has made 
available for viewing at https://cdn.albertamapservices.ca/FortMcMurray/ and 
the extent polygons up on OSM tagged name="Fort McMurray Fire Damage Estimate" 
and there seemed to be differences. Also, I can't find the source now, but 
remember hearing that no schools were destroyed but am seeing several schools 
in the OSM damage extent polygons.

Thanks and all the best,

Hey everyone,
Quick status update to say that RC has decided to use the official assessments 
from the government and we will not be doing our own.

We are still hoping to do a lot of mapping where needed but a building by 
building ground truth most likely won’t be conducted given the overall lack of 
individual household damage.

I’ll stay on list and will let this list know if the situation changes.

Thanks

If we can get good pre-event imagery and do the building by building assessment 
I don’t think we will need post-event imagery but I can be on the lookout for 
it.

Given that the US Red Cross are getting involved and have a need for buildings 
to be mapped so they can use their tool set is there any data sets we might be 
able to get hold of.  I'm thinking of using the Treasury Broad gateway which 
means its licensed for OSM but TB are also working with the provinces and some 
cites on Open Data data sets.

  Looking at Esri's world topo basemap in Fort McMurray you can see that 
the building footprints are very complete. It could be a redundant use of our

There's been at least 20 captures of the area by satellites in the past 3 days, 
but what use are they going to be at this stage of the fire?

Also, what are we going to try to achieve once the fires are done? The roads 
are already there and Canada/Alberta have advanced spatial capabilities and 
detailed data for official purposes, so the work would basically entail 
deleting burned down buildings.

I'm willing to help out, just not clear what the goal with regards to data is 
going to be. :)

You might get some help from UrtheCast, as a Canadian company they might
be willing to donate access to footage.
https://www.urthecast.com

Not sure that they can provide geo-referenced shots, but any info might be
of use. Their cameras are fixed on ISS, so any orbital software/website
will tell you if/when they have near passes.

They also have a live feed:

at least a week or two but we are interested in mapping all of the buildings in 
the affected area from pre-event imagery. No damage assessment from satellite 
imagery will occur.

I’ve already let HOT know but it would be great to have support of the 
OSM-Canada community to help get the work done.

Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in helping or 
leading.
