Please know that DOST-Project NOAH (Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards) has recently launched *ISAIAH* (Integrated Scenario-based Assessments of Impacts and Hazards)
Project NOAH has been developing hazard maps for the Philippines over the past 3 years. And through ISAIAH, risk analysis maps will be developed this year which needs OpenStreetMap data, specifically the building footprints, as part of the data needed to calculate risk through a scenario-based assessment. We invite the OpenStreetMap community, educational institutions and LGUs to work with us in mapping your locality. Please use the hashtag* #ProjectNOAH-ISAIAH* on your changesets. We have set tasks in the HOT Tasking Manager for this purpose and we started out in the province of Cavite. *We will be adding tasks over the coming months and post them at this email thread.* *Task 1636 - Project NOAH ISAIAH Cavite Map building footprints map-up* http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1636 *More about ISAIAH and the need for OpenStreetMap data.* http://blog.noah.dost.gov.ph/2016/03/18/project-noah-announces-start-of-isaiah/ For LGUs and educational institutions who are interested to learn how to map in OSM, please refer them to Project NOAH by emailing [email protected] Ervin Malicdem
