The damage tag has been widely used in past international events

Oh for a standardised tagging system!

The lifecycle prefix is the way to go 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix and has already been used 
fairly widespread to map impact from the current fire season.

 

razed:building=*

ruins:building=*

Hi Folks,

 

I am also not sure that adding Damage=No is suitable for OSM either?

 

If the building footprint already exists then add a "Damaged" tag with a value 
of "Yes" if it looks to have been impacted by fire or "No" if it has not been 
impacted by fire. If you are unsure do not enter a tag at all.

 

Cheers - Phil

I was corrected by someone off list, looks like they are planning on mapping 
within OSM https://tasks.hotosm.org/project/7893. Now I have to scrabble to 
validate Planet Labs has provided the necessary permission for their imagery to 
be traced into OSM.

I sent an email to the contact email to ask for more information, but by the 
looks of it they aren't uploading anything to OpenStreetMap, they are creating 
their own datasets (which may or may not be released as open data, they haven't 
stated yet). It's unclear how they are planning on consuming OpenStreetMap 
though. I'm still keen to see what they've identified as important or useful to 
map.

 

What they've stated is they'll be using Planet Labs imagery 
https://www.planet.com/disaster/fires-in-australia-2019-11-06/.

 

1) As far as I'm aware we don't have an imagery tracing waiver from Planet 
Labs, it's worth reaching out to Planet Labs to ask for this waiver for use in 
OpenStreetMap.

 

2) Since access to the imagery is restricted "We provide limited access to 
Explorer for up to 30 days to qualified disaster volunteer organizations, 
humanitarian organizations, and other coordinating bodies." it's unclear how 
we'd go about asking for access, and who gets access. But for now at least, 
without (1) my view is we can't trace Planet Labs imagery for use in 
OpenStreetMap.

Hi group,

 

I just came across this Map-A-Thon by chance, apologies if it has been shared 
already and I missed it:

Extract from the above page:
