I'm interested in helping out when the HOT tasking manager project is setup. I'm unable to coordinate a HOT project right now. If anyone is close to the fires there might be some possibilities to get better quality maps from the local firefighters/Swedish Armed Forces (SAF). In the news (SVT) yesterday it looked like SAF had drones up and running for imagery. Best regards -- Christoffer Holmstedt
