To facilitate the follow-up on this activity, I have renamed the object of the
email from [HOT] [Talk-in] Fw: [CrisisMappers] 25 killed; 24,000 stranded as
rain wreaks havoc in Uttarakhand, India
A Task manager job have been created for Haridwar urban area. See
http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/260
Hot Contributor are invited to contribute by mapping these areas.
For people with knowledge of the present situation in north of India, please
report other areas that you think they should be mapped in priority. Please
report to this list and describe the situation.
The people with local knowledge can also contribute greatly to the map by
geolocating and adding description to the public services buildings, hospital,
schools, shelter places, etc.
Wiki page where more informations and instructions are provided about this
emergency.
