<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>
<div>Robert</div>
