Re: [Talk-us] What should we do for wildfires?

Yes Val, Maybe I sounded a bit too discouraging in my first reply, so in my opinion there's really only two things we need to do to get OSM used in US disaster response: 1. Keep mapping and doing all the things we do to continually improve OSM; the more 'complete'/up-to-date the map is before

Re: [Talk-us] Join us for another import party at the L.A. Times June 25

Very interesting, let me talk to my coworkers and get back to you on that. Perhaps the Japanese OSM community would have some ideas. On Thu, Jun 30, 2016 at 6:59 PM Jonathan Schleuss wrote: > Thanks, Robert. > > I do have some structural information about some types of

Re: [Talk-us] Join us for another import party at the L.A. Times June 25

Thanks, Robert. I do have some structural information about some types of earthquake-risk buildings. We have a database of "dingbats" that Los Angeles city is mandating be retrofitted or proved safe over the next few years. These are apartment buildings with parking underneath the dwelling

Hey Jonathon, This looks great, it’s fantastic to see the LA Times leading on this work. Adding buildings to LA is super cool. Having grown up in suburbanized Atlanta I know it’s a lot harder to wander about and add buildings than in, say, New York or Berlin. Quick question: do you all have any

Re: [Talk-us] What should we do for wildfires?

Hey all, I'm a current wildland firefighter but all I do are prescribed fires here in Florida. In terms of getting ICs using OSM your best bet would be to get they guys who do fire every week to start using and contributing to OSM. They're usually the ones tapped for local and remote wildfires.

Re: [Talk-us] What should we do for wildfires?

Hi all, I coordinated that Colorado Wildfire mapping effort in 2013. I am also a HOT voting member and volunteer coordinator for our Disaster Mapping program. Would be happy to talk directly with folks about this stuff. To try and put the key points in an email - it can be something HOT does,

Re: [Talk-us] What should we do for wildfires?

I work for a large insurance company and stumbled upon open street maps and their humanitarian mapping for some international catastrophe events. Ironically, I've just switched email programs and my mail rule didn't transfer, so I have been paying more attention to this subscription. I've
