Thank you all for your replies. The firefighters are from Poland and in Poland they use OSM exclusively for their work.
They do not know where they will be assigned yet so hopefully later today. They said they generally are interested in roads, forestry roads, waterways and water bodies (lakes, ponds, etc) So that is what they would like you to map. Any help finding hi resolution, recent imagery (government aerial imagery sources are usually best), or feedback on the existing OSM layers, which are best, most recent, etc is usually the very first step. I am guessing they will be assinged to one of the 9 areas on this map: http://emergency.copernicus.eu/mapping/sites/default/files/thumbnails/EMSR298-AEM-1532344797-r05-v1.jpg Whoops, now that I look they updated it in the last hour and now it is 12 areas. But I guess they will be at one of those areas. That map also gives you a very high level overview of the region affected. HOT mapping is just like regular OSM mapping, but we usually specify what is being requested, in this case, roads, forest roads, water. And the the Tasking Manager grids the area so people do not conflict with each other. I would suggest we use a private HOT Tasking Manager Project because the osm-se Tasking Manager seems to have a configuration problem at the moment (error on attempted login) http://tasks2.openstreetmap.se/ HOT's main priority in a case like this is to not damage the existing OSM mapping. We often work where there is no data (rural Africa for example) so we do not have that worry. In Sweden, you have an active, expert, group of mappers who already have a very good OSM map, we need to make sure we do not accidentally cause any issues for your community. More information as I receive it......
