The Swedish government agency (Lantmäteriet) should have aerial imagery of excellent quality (0.25 or 0.5 m resolution). Given the level of public support for the Polish firefighters, it should be a PR disaster for Lantmäteriet to decline a request for use of these images.
Most Swedish students are able to download the imagery, so it should just be a matter of clearing up the license issues. //Mattias On Mon, Jul 23, 2018 at 2:45 PM, Blake Girardot <[email protected]> wrote: > 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.
