<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>Best,</div>
