Does anyone know of specific areas that need pre/post-flood imagery that HOT might be able to help with?
I think someone told me Ivanhoe was almost completely cut off, except for one road. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-32.8945&lon=144.3025&zoom=14&layers=M ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mikel Maron <[email protected]> Date: 21 January 2011 01:40 Subject: Re: HOT in Australia To: John Smith <[email protected]> Are the precise areas needed defined somewhere? Have wiki pages been organized to coordinate? Have you talked to Shoaib and Kashif, who are based in Australia and active in HOT and Australian government disaster response? Imagery is still the major barrier for us. The negotiation for imagery of Pakistan was immense. We do have ongoing relations with Spot Imagery, and we could give a request to them, if we had something specific. They tend to have archival imagery only. Otherwise NASA and NOAA are a major source, but this would require some research to find. The disaster charter has been enacted. GeoScience Australia is managing, perhaps they can be asked for imagery? http://www.disasterscharter.org/web/charter/activation_details?p_r_p_1415474252_assetId=ACT-349 == Mikel Maron == +254(0)724899738 @mikel s:mikelmaron http://mapkibera.org/ http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Haiti ________________________________ From: John Smith <[email protected]> To: Mikel Maron <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, January 19, 2011 6:29:39 PM Subject: Re: HOT in Australia On 20 January 2011 05:45, Mikel Maron <[email protected]> wrote: > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2011-January/007493.html > > Sorry if you didn't get a response ... for me personally, I have a ton of > balls in the air right now.

We mostly needed, and still need access to imagery that isn't available otherwise, the Bing imagery is a big help as it covers a lot of rural and regional areas hit by flooding, however even it has gaps and the flooding is effecting most of the eastern states (Qld, NSW, ACT, Vic and Tas). _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
