I think deploying drones will be a great idea for mapping those places for better hydrological modeling. I believe the marked areas are mostly rural in nature, and I don't expect tall buildings there. However, we sure can check that accurately. I also believe that the permission from the flight regulation authority is possible. I know couple of people, who can help us on that regard. Previously, we have seen drones being deployed in different agricultural projects in rural Bangladesh, and I dont think it will be difficult for us to get the permission. </div><div><br></div><div>I am copying this email with couple of my friends, who can give you more information.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Dear all,<br>
<br>
Terre des Hommes has conducted a DRR (disaster risk reduction) mission in Haiti
with OSM Haiti (they have seen the Drone + mapping party <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujTiYoi33_g&feature=youtu.be%C2%A0%20" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujTiYoi33_g&feature=youtu.be </a>

) <br>
<br>
And now Tdh Bangladesh would like to deploy<b> </b><span>the
</span>OSM Haiti methodology and Drone in Bangladesh<b> </b>for their
mitigation project in this area of interest </span><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"" lang="FR-CH"><a href="http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/tdh-bangladesh-drr_24362#10/25.6811/89.8242" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-US">http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/tdh-bangladesh-drr_24362#10/25.6811/89.8242</span></a></span><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><br>
<br>
What do you think? The idea is to have the best open database to improve
hydrological modelling (we discussed the methodology in this events
</span><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"" lang="FR-CH"><a href="http://eguworkshop.deltares.nl/index.php/agenda/index" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" lang="EN-US">http://eguworkshop.deltares.nl/index.php/agenda/index</span></a></span><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><br>
<br>
Including local knowledge about the risk, a good elevation model (height of the
building, an up to date land cover, road, etc....).<br>
<br>
For sure we will need to obtain permission from the flight regulation authority,
