Yes, personally I believe it would be most helpful if we could just get the
Lantmäteriet HQ to give us permission to use their aerial imagery for this
project. I would suggest that the project defines what data is desired
(type of data and geographical extents) and try to get permission to use
this data with a compliant license. The request could probably be directed
both to Lantmäteriet and to the respective Länsstyrelse in order to get
some attention.

If someone from the Swedish OSM community already have had some previous
success with data from Lantmäteriet, it is probably most efficient to reuse
these channels.

I wholeheartedly support the project, but as I mentioned, I will be more or
less off-grid in the coming weeks and therefore not able to participate.

[Blake Girardot]

Hi Mattias,

I appreciate this information. My apologies you get this twice, I
thought I was also sending it to the main talk-se list, so I am
resending it.

The issue here is that the folks requesting osm mapping is because
they are used to working with OSM data.

I will pass on the really helpful information about who to contact you
have provided, but it
would be up to the firefighters if they could make use of the data and
they probably have limited time and resources to deal with the
individual localities or Copernicus at the moment. They might be happy with just
some printed maps from the authorities.

We can not really organize any data imports as part of this process,
that would be up to you and your local community to organize.

Basically, we can map like we always do (we meaning us OSM mappers)
and know that the some folks will use it, there might be better data
available, but that is the nature of non open data, it is hard to
locate and get permissions to use. If it is in OSM many folks already
know where it is and how to use it. This is why OSM data is often
turned to first during a crisis, even in well developed countries like
Sweden and Poland.

Our mapping (we OSM mappers) do not in anyway hinder the local
authorities mapping or them sharing their data so I would generally
not coordinate with them unless they contacted us and asked us for
data in which case we would of course organize mapping to support
them, but it sounds like they do not need our help at all. We (HOT)
for sure do not want to bother anyone during a crisis like this. We
let them
do what they do best, generate excellent, up to date, but closed
sourced data.

So if folks are still interested in I will create a project for
mapping in the areas Christoffer identified.

Of course, mapping on your own in osm is perfectly fine, I am really
glad to hear some of you have started mapping already, that is
perfect.

Thank you very much everyone for your help with this! Those Polish
firefighters are already making use of your OSM data, we just want to
improve it as much as we can for them!

Respectfully,
blake

Re: [Talk-se] Looking for active local Sweden mappers to support fire fighting efforts

[Christian Asker]

I started to add some roads around Kårböle about an hour ago, from NVDB. 
I've also added a few local names. However, Ekonomiska kartan does not 
seem to work for the area.


For finding their way around, I guess roads and local names are most 
important?


But I am a bit confused about the location here. There is this Kårböle 
(Nötberget) outside Ljusdal: 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/61.9880/15.2970


However, the map at link [2] below is another place: 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/62.4188/14.9968


Which I think is "Enskogen".

Regardless, both areas need mapping of course.


Can we get high resolution up-to-date imagery somehow?

Thank you all for your replies.

The firefighters are from Poland and in Poland they use OSM
exclusively for their work.

They do not know where they will be assigned yet so hopefully
later today.

They said they generally are interested in roads, forestry roads,
waterways and water bodies (lakes, ponds, etc)

So that is what they would like you to map.

Any help finding hi resolution, recent imagery (government aerial
imagery sources are usually best), or feedback on the
existing OSM
layers, which are best, most recent, etc is usually the very
first
step.

I am guessing they will be assinged to one of the 9 areas on
this map:


http://emergency.copernicus.eu/mapping/sites/default/files/thumbnails/EMSR298-AEM-1532344797-r05-v1.jpg



Whoops, now that I look they updated it in the last hour and
now it is
12 areas. But I guess they will be at one of those areas.

That map also gives you a very high level overview of the
region affected.

HOT mapping is just like regular OSM mapping, but we usually
specify
what is being requested, in this case, roads, forest roads,
water.

And the the Tasking Manager grids the area so people do not
conflict
with each other.

I would suggest we use a private HOT Tasking Manager Project
because
the osm-se Tasking Manager seems to have a configuration
problem at
the moment (error on attempted login)
http://tasks2.openstreetmap.se/ 

HOT's main priority in a case like this is to not damage the
existing
OSM mapping. We often work where there is no data (rural
Africa for
example) so we do not have that worry. In Sweden, you have an
active,
expert, group of mappers who already have a very good OSM
map, we need
to make sure we do not accidentally cause any issues for your
community.

More information as I receive it..

Blake

Re: [Talk-se] Looking for active local Sweden mappers to support fire fighting efforts

[Mattias Lindblad]

The Swedish government agency (Lantmäteriet) should have aerial imagery of
excellent quality (0.25 or 0.5 m resolution). Given the level of public
support for the Polish firefighters, it should be a PR disaster for
Lantmäteriet to decline a request for use of these images.

Most Swedish students are able to download the imagery, so it should just
be a matter of clearing up the license issues.

I'm interested in helping out when the HOT tasking manager project is
setup. I'm unable to coordinate a HOT project right now. If anyone is close
to the fires there might be some possibilities to get better quality maps
from the local firefighters/Swedish Armed Forces (SAF). In the news (SVT)
yesterday it looked like SAF had drones up and running for imagery.

Best regards

Re: [Talk-se] Looking for active local Sweden mappers to support fire fighting efforts

[Blake Girardot]

Thank you all for your replies.

The firefighters are from Poland and in Poland they use OSM
exclusively for their work.

They do not know where they will be assigned yet so hopefully later today.

They said they generally are interested in roads, forestry roads,
waterways and water bodies (lakes, ponds, etc)

So that is what they would like you to map.

Any help finding hi resolution, recent imagery (government aerial
imagery sources are usually best), or feedback on the existing OSM
layers, which are best, most recent, etc is usually the very first
step.

I am guessing they will be assinged to one of the 9 areas on this map:

http://emergency.copernicus.eu/mapping/sites/default/files/thumbnails/EMSR298-AEM-1532344797-r05-v1.jpg

Whoops, now that I look they updated it in the last hour and now it is
12 areas. But I guess they will be at one of those areas.

That map also gives you a very high level overview of the region affected.

HOT mapping is just like regular OSM mapping, but we usually specify
what is being requested, in this case, roads, forest roads, water.

And the the Tasking Manager grids the area so people do not conflict
with each other.

I would suggest we use a private HOT Tasking Manager Project because
the osm-se Tasking Manager seems to have a configuration problem at
the moment (error on attempted login)  http://tasks2.openstreetmap.se/

HOT's main priority in a case like this is to not damage the existing
OSM mapping. We often work where there is no data (rural Africa for
example) so we do not have that worry. In Sweden, you have an active,
expert, group of mappers who already have a very good OSM map, we need
to make sure we do not accidentally cause any issues for your
community.

More information as I receive it..

Respectfully,
Blake

 I am a Swedish mapper with experience mapping in the areas surrounding the
fires and are willing to help with mapping.

I am a quite experienced Swedish mapper with some HOT mapping experience 
but I have never organised HOT work. I would definitely help with a HOT 
mapping effort.

Greetings,

HOT received a request to improve the mapping around wild fires to
support fire fighters in Sweden.

Is there a local, active person, who would like to take responsibility
to organize remote mapping projects to support that request?

Or maybe folks who would contribute if I set up some project for local
mappers only to work on?

Please let me know.

I'm a Swede and I've done quite some mapping here (concentrated to the 
Stockholm area though), but I don't have any experience of HOT projects.


I can help out with mapping but I have a full time job, so it has to be 
on evenings and remotely (or not too far away at least).


How would it work out? Tracing affected areas through satellite imagery 
or similar?



Best Regards,
Samuel
