<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I'm not sure. You could well be right
about 'tarps', & I think in some places materials such as
corrugated iron sheets have been reused. What was once extensive
tree cover obscuring buildings is now fairly open ground, so in
some cases the outline has changed purely because we can now see
the whole structure.<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thanks Nick, that was a helpful
kickstart. The one query I still have is are all the blue
structures tents? As you say, most have appeared where there was
once a building and in some cases they are alongside. I've not
tagged any as tents as most seem to be in place of a building or
as well as a building so I wonder wether they are "tarps" that
have been draped over ruins or damage? So I've simply marked
the building as damaged.<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
<br>
Having just completed one of the squares for this task, a few
notes which may help (It's not easy, so be prepared to take
your time & do your best);<br>
<br>
If using JOSM, load not only the imagery linked to the task,
but also Bing or whatever imagery was first used. By hiding
the different layers you can then compare the before (Bing?)
& after imagery to see how the building has changed.<br>
<br>
Alignment - slightly different to the existing tracing. As
usual no gps traces available, but always worth trying. <br>
<br>
History - Be prepared to look at the history of buildings - on
my square someone had been creating new buildings using the
post disaster imagery 12 hours before I started - they were
only tagged as building=yes, so it took me a few minutes of
investigation to work out what had been done (Ctrl+h in JOSM
will bring up the history of a selected node or way). <br>
<br>
Tents - I'm fairly certain that at least two of the buildings
added 12 hours ago are actually tents - they are on the site
of old buildings or nearby, but are a completely different
outline. I've done a search on the wiki, but nobody seems to
have been mentioning tagging them before - I've tagged mine
'building=tent' until someone comes up with a better scheme.<br>

<div>Hello All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Greetings from Manila. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As efforts to alleviate the damages from Typhoon
Haiyan / Yolanda in the Philippines shift from response
to recovery the need for detailed, precise information
about damages and recovery rates has become more
pressing. Agencies are still investing lots in
mass-distribution style emergency shelter relief but are
already looking at the next stage of "supporting
self-recovery" activities and the eventual move towards
permanent shelter solutions. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One of the more affected municipalities in Haiyan's
path is Carles, on the Northeastern tip of Panay Island.
Much like the islands of neighboring municipality
Estancia to the south, the exposed islands of Carles and
the buildings along its shores were hit hard by the
typhoon. Survivors are doing an inspiring job of putting
their lives in order and moving on but the need for
assistance and support is still real. We've create a
task to support this process at: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/392">http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/392</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To support that assistance process we'd like to
assess the damages at a building-by-building level. Our
hope is to better target assistance from aid agencies in
the area, track reconstruction progress at a building
level and verify the accuracy of these assessments
through OSM for future work.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks to the continued generosity of the U.S. State
Department, we've been able to procure post-disaster
imagery for the municipality of Carles on the northeast
tip of Panay Island. Please download the imagery into
your editing software of choice and be sure to insert
the necessary tags to recognize the NextView license's
part in the data so created.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many thanks to all of you for your contributions and
continued support. I cannot speak enough to how well
received OSM is by government, NGOs and companies alike
here. This operation represents a huge leap forward in
terms of the credibility and recognition of OSM for
disaster response purposes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>
