<div dir="ltr">Hi all, the earthquake today was strong and quite long, and has a lot of weary souls shaken. Reports of a few deaths in the valley and landslides in the hills are already coming through. Damage around Kathmandu has been much less than the first time from the reports I have been hearing and observations on my own trip across the city coming home.<br><div><br></div><div>The one suggestion I thought I would fire off, which I'm guessing is also obvious to the HOT community, would be focus some energy on this task: <a href="http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1046">http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1046</a> which covers the area nearest to today's epicenter. Even though the imagery is a bit old, doing damage assessments from the last earthquake and IDP camp markings will help the work of relief efforts in those areas.</div><div><br></div><div>Other tasks that would also be helpful:</div><div> - Identifying more recent imagery that has come in in Dolakha and Sindhupalchowk (both priority 1 and 2 districts <a href="https://gist.github.com/prabhasp/3a8207c3c8cd7de6ba7a">here</a>) would be good. A few reported deaths are in mostly from Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Lalitpur, Dolakha, and Sindhupalchowk.</div><div><br></div><div>Tomorrow, the KLL team will also discuss whether we need to create some new mapper tasks for first and second pass for Solukhumbu district (i<span style="line-height:1.5;font-size:13.1999998092651px">e, the Everest region), and more points east. The epicenter this time was farther east than before, and damage reports may come in from farther east in the country.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Prabhas</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 12, 2015 at 2:31 PM FOFANA BAZO BAGNOUMANA <<a href="mailto:fofana.13bazo@gmail.com">fofana.13bazo@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">Morning Heather and everyone<br>
