-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [HOT] Typhoon Haiyan - Locating Villages and Connecting Roads Date: Sat, 09 Nov 2013 11:32:27 -0600 From: Andrew Buck <[email protected]> To: hot <[email protected]> I just recieved a request from the American Red Cross to make a pass over the wider area surrounding Tacloban to locate all small villages and try to connect them to the road network if they are not already done. They are still in the early planning stages of their response and do not have detailed information for us yet on exactly where their efforts will be focused but they think that no matter what the exact response ends up being, this data will likely be of use in planning/executing that response. I have created a task manager job with big tiles over a pretty wide area around our current area of interest. Remember that this is just to locate the villages and trace a landuse=residential around them and draw in the main connecting roads, you do not need to trace all the details in the villages at this time (although for small clusters of just a few houses I often just do this right away anyway since it goes so fast, but this is up to you). http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/339 Also, on a related issue, this response has reached a level of activity that I think we should consider formal activation. We now have at least this one outstanding request from an aid organization and I expect there will be others forthcoming. -AndrewBuck _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot _______________________________________________ Talk-hr mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-hr
