James,
je ne vais pas enlever d'infos sans en discuter. 

J'ai Créé une carte uMap où j'ai exclu ce polygone pour plus de visibilité.

Hello everyone OsmCanada had a meeting tonight and have traced polygons 
estimating the areas damaged and have named them "Fort McMurray Fire Damage 
Estimate". They are tagged as brownfield as the buildings have been destroyed 
or burnt down. The major areas affected are Thickwood, Beacon Hill and Abasand. 
We thought this may help the red cross immensely.

Big thank you to Rps333 for the help.

Task #23 only provides minimal instructions (Add address data via GeoBase. Add

Hey Martijn,

Was hoping you guys would add zoom 19 to the recent update. Submitted a few

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

[James]

Hello everyone OsmCanada had a meeting tonight and have traced polygons
estimating the areas damaged and have named them "Fort McMurray Fire Damage
Estimate". They are tagged as brownfield as the buildings have been
destroyed or burnt down. The major areas affected are Thickwood, Beacon
Hill and Abasand. We thought this may help the red cross immensely.

Big thank you to Rps333 for the help.

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

[Bruno Remy]

Hi,

Does any local OpenStreetMap local team organize mapathon events working
around tasks #22,#23,#24 ?

I mean perhaps Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal ?

Here in Québec city, the community is small , so few volonteers engaged ...
but why not trying ?

 Hi James,

 It looks like some good progress is being made on the tasks.

 Tasks #22 and #23 are focused on mapping different features but it
 looks like #24 overlaps in focus. Perhaps that task should be archived
 until the other two are completed to avoid confusion among newcomers to the
 site?

 Task #23 only provides minimal instructions (*Add address data via
 GeoBase. Add missing Roads and Street names.*). Would more people feel
 comfortable contributing if detailed instructions were included? It seemed
 the task is referring to the dataset described here:

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

[James]

What exactly do you need of me? Prioritize areas to get mapped? We have
tasks for the buildings, addresses and streets(which I think have been
imported via CanVec) and a validation layer

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

[Dan Joseph]

Hi James,

It looks like some good progress is being made on the tasks.

Tasks #22 and #23 are focused on mapping different features but it looks
like #24 overlaps in focus. Perhaps that task should be archived until the
other two are completed to avoid confusion among newcomers to the site?

Task #23 only provides minimal instructions (*Add address data via GeoBase.
Add missing Roads and Street names.*). Would more people feel comfortable
contributing if detailed instructions were included? It seemed the task is
referring to the dataset described here:
http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/geobase/official/nrn_rrn/doc/NRN.pdf   Is
the Canada open government licence compatible with OSM?

Thanks and all the best,

Dan

[Talk-ca] Red Cross and Fort McMurray Fires

[Dan Joseph]

Hi everyone,

I'm helping coordinate the Canadian Red Cross' use of GIS in their
activities responding to the Fort McMurray fires. Staff has been very busy
but we're ramping up and exploring options for how to leverage different
tools and data sources to support the Red Cross operations. The focus is on
the evacuees, many of which have dispersed to distant locations around the
country. When residents are allowed to return to the town and longer-term
recovery activities become a priority, I foresee having an excellent OSM
base layer as being a valuable asset. Both for facilitating operational
decisions, and demonstrating the power of the OSM community and easily
accessible geo-data with an open license!

I would love to connect with those involved in coordinating the current
tasks up on http://tasks.osmcanada.ca/. Is the best channel of
communication through this list or via Skype or some other means?

All the best,
Dan Joseph

[john whelan]

Have you talked to dale.ku...@redcross.org?

A coordinated approach might be better.  OSM can use data obtained through
the Gov Canada open data portal and has done in the past as far as I am
aware.

Thanks John

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

[James]

Yes CanVec data is compatible with OSM as there was an agreement between
the Canadian gov and osm in the past. NRCan even serves up osm files for
their CanVec Data here: http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/OSM/pub/

#24 is to go deeper as in validating that data imported/mapped in 22 and 23
as some mappers might not be experts in validating data and there might be
technical issues like bridges/streets that are semantically correct, but
not technically correct (in this example you have to say that one street
passes over another with the layer tag and a bridge tag)

You could consider 22 and 23 as a "quick" mapping. Where as 24 is
correcting technical issues that more experienced users (like andrew and
john :P) can point out/fix problems

Hi John,

Dale is the American Red Cross GIS Team Lead. I'm on his team and have been
deployed to Canada to work in-person with the Canadian Red Cross. In terms
of OSM-CA / Red Cross coordination, I can be considered the point of
contact on the RC side until someone within Canadian Red Cross is ready and
willing to take it on.

All the best,
Dan
