I know JG already has an inquiry into SPOT image, who are being very cooperative with OSM. We'll also discuss best approach for DG and GeoEye. == Mikel Maron == +254(0)724899738 @mikel s:mikelmaron http://mapkibera.org/ http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Haiti ________________________________ From: Eugene Alvin Villar <[email protected]> To: Mikel Maron <[email protected]> Cc: maning sambale <[email protected]>; Mike Collinson <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, October 18, 2010 7:43:51 AM Subject: Re: typhoon Hello Mikel, As far as I know, we don't have any mappers based in northern Luzon island and we have no high-resolution satellite imagery of any place in that area (Cagayan and Isabela provinces) from which OSM is legally able to trace data. I guess one thing OSM or HOT can help with is securing access to such imagery, similar to the donated image by DigitalGlobe last year in the wake of Typhoon Parma (Pepeng). I'm not sure if this is good or not, but we should probably wait a day or so in order to wait for news reports of the towns that are the most badly hit. Once we know those places, we can then request for satellite imagery of those particular areas so the OSM effort can be focused. Thanks!
