[HOT] Pakistan Imagery

[nicolas chavent]

Katie, Sam and all-

Commuting back from Haiti to France after 2 intense week of field work
carried out with Kate in the island in support of IOM.

I had been in contact with SpotImage with the result of a first set of of
imagery made available for tracing and am currently working on extending
this coverage. We are speaking pre floods 2.5 - 5 m resolution. I'll
re-engage with Spot upon arrival and will revert to the group.

We had also been in contact with UNOSAT to seek access to imagery via the
Charter, UNOSAT is working on this and I hope to hear back from them as
well.

I'd be happy to hear what's the situation is like on the sides of other
imagery providers.

Keeping track of actions and resources would be neat
