Holas,

Great work Marta and others of course!!!

(DESCULPA OTRA VES PARA ESCRIBIR EN INGLES)

Anybody have good contacts in IGM? I do but only in person, they are  
my best friends in person but never return my phone calls or emails!

ESRI- Chile - can we bring them on board here?

How about dividing some tasks?  I don't really know what to do, so I  
am making base maps of the 9th and 8th regions where I have a lot of  
data. But not sure if this is really needed.

Thanks,

bruce

Sounds like your download is the most important at this point!

we can suspend for a little while; let us know when you are done.

Perfect, I'm already downloading them, I have a fast connection, I  
guess it is faster if not too many people download files at the

as I get them I can distribute them via DVD or an external hard

I am working now to put the recent GeoEye images of San Javier,  
Santiago, and Puerto Saavedra online as OGC WMS services, KML, and  
accessible within the OpenStreetMap. Attached are the shapefile  
coverages.  These can be downloaded (~8Gigs) at

ftp://chile.geoeye.com

Hopefully within a few hours these will be accessible via thin  
bandwidth at full resolution.

  If I can help some how, please let me know, my sister from Madrid

    Bruce,

    Sounds like you have been working most of the angles and, from  
those copied, we have many common friends and colleagues.

    I wish I had something more to offer.  Post event imagery has  
been mostly cloud covered over the high impact areas and the  
RapidEye is giving the best look right now.

    If I can find any avenue to utilize your skills I will pass it  
along.  You might want to get an account on APAN (http://community.apan.org/ 
) as they were quite effective in Haiti, but I haven't heard much  
from their Chile community.

    Cheers,

    Nate

    Hi Nate,

    Thanks for the email.  I am CC:ing just some of those involved  
whether they understand English or not.  I am doing this in the  
hopes that some connections might form.

    Desculpa para el ingles NO PUEDO ESCRIBIR EN 2 AHORA!

    I am going to play with this until the 10th and then off on my  
bike with a friend for a couple weeks in Tierra de Fuego and out of  
contact the whole time, so if something come up

    Yes, it is too bad we didn't know about him as we have a couple  
of us down here in Punta Arenas interested in helping with mapping,  
GIS, GPS,  most of these are Chilean.  We also have another couple  
in Santiago looking to help, both Chilean and foreigners.  Most of  
us have been just spinning our wheels down here looking for a way  
to help. I did the same after Katrina even though I was working  
directly for FEMA at the time.

    I donated blood a couple weeks ago and $$. I am currently  
uploading GIS data (no metadata, of course) and making maps of the  
areas affected, others are looking for imagery and making similar  
contacts with similar results.  Region 8 and 9 - don't know if it  
will be used but.

    Here is a quick rundown on some of the collective efforts,  
contacts and
    responses:

    ONEMI - emails don't work, phone calls don't go through, people  
don't know what GIS is or don't care, all taken care of and don't  
need help, don't do GIS  We talked to the local jefe and he didn't  
even know what GIS is..

    US State Dept / Embassy - don't do GIS, don't know what it is,  
email this person, email this email I have been in touch with them  
since 1999 on GIS issues, lot of talk

    Immap - Joe D at waiting for a request and could provide  
assistance

    GISCorps - Shoreh is waiting for a request and could provide  
assistance

    ESRI - Carmelle Terborgh could be involved if tasked, others I  
have not contacted

    ESRI-Chile - don't get me started

    Other in local government - don't really know anything and  
waiting for direction from above

    ChileAyuda - ??????

    Intendencia - ?????

    UN OCHA - ???

    MapAction - ???




    Could you provide us with updated access to Quickbird of the  
affected areas?

    Some of us are loading data onto:
    
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2010_Chile_earthquake/Imagery_and_data_sources#Existing_Data_Sets

    Same with this group:
    http://groups.google.com/group/crisismappers-chile?lnk=gcamh

    We are now looking to do some work down here in Punta Arenas  
but with or without any leadership from those directly involved.

    Thanks,

    bruce

      Bruce,

      I saw your offer to help in the email traffic and while we  
don't have
      a good way to pull you in to our efforts, I may have a  
suggestion or
      two and I wanted to send a note to introduce myself as it  
seems our
      paths may have actually or nearly crossed in the past few  
years.
      Ironically, our GIS Data Specialist was just stranded in  
Punta Arenas
      for several days and has only recently travelled overland to  
Argentina
      to begin the long trip home.  He should get back to  
Washington on
      Sunday.  I wish I had gotten your note earlier and could have  
linked
      you up.  He and his wife spent a couple weeks in the region  
hiking Torres and Fitzroy.

      I actually spent a few days there in 1995 with some buddies  
as we did
      the circuit at Torres. I also did some GPS training in  
Liberia back in
      1997 with Shawn Messick, who you probably know from VVAF (now  
IMMAP).

      Regarding the response, consider reaching out to GIS Corps as  
Shoreh
      is seeking linkages within ONEMI and SNIT to try and find a  
way to
      position some volunteers to help.  Perhaps you can assist her  
in this
      effort and find a means to volunteer through them.  You may  
also be
      well positioned to link up with local governments or the  
Chilean Red
      Cross and assist in their efforts.

      Feel free to drop me a note if you want to discuss.

      Good luck and best regards,

      Nate Smith
