<br>
In addition to the fine options you were already given, another
choice could be to do some mapping in parts of the Philippines
that are threatened by super typhoon Haiyan, where some towns that
are no more than a dot in OSM are covered by high resolution Bing
imagery that has been added recently.<br>

<div>Hi Jonas,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The American and Haitian Red Crosses could use help
finishing up the tasks we've made in Northern Haiti. We're
due to start mapping individual communities and collecting
primary data (risk zones, health worker locations, etc.)
from them on the ground in 2 weeks. We plan on using paper
printouts of OSM for this process in over 200 communities,
so having all the roads, land uses and buildings down will
make that a much easier process.</div>

As other said, there are no urgent tasks presently. <br>
<br>
An other task that I can suggest is in Mali. See <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/150">
http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/150</a> While this in not an
emergency, there is still a lot to cover with this task.
In the context of a Crisis Mapping course, it is also
interesting to look at this.<br>
<br>
When we started the Mali Activation at the beginning of
the year, we had a huge area to cover in the Niger Delta
and in the more desertic areas north of Mali. For this
Niger Delta task, there is also a challenge while mapping,
since imagery taken at the flooded season is difficult to
interpret. Often people will identify lakes while looking
more closely, we find villages and farmlands.
<br>
<br>
We have already used Kuona, a Crowdsource Imagery
Application to locate villages in this vast area. Villages
are either identified by a name or a gray polygon on the
OSM map. This will help to locate villages and trace
information related to these villages. From these
villages, an other challenge is to find roads or tracks
connecting the village to main roads.<br>

<br>
If there is a very very urgent HOT project, and
newcomers can help, there will <br>
be a task set at the tasking manager. :-)<br>
<br>
IIRC, urgent or important tasks are shown at the top
of the list.<br>
