Fort McMurray is the 5th largest city in the province of Alberta and
has been evacuated in the face of wildfires which have burned
thousands of structures. Satellites have been tasked to gather
imagery, but it probably won't be very useful imagery for OSM until
the smoke has cleared.<br>
<br>
My guess is there won't be a HOTUS activation associated with this
disaster. The HOT work people have been doing so far is mainly
improving the state of the area in OSM with pre-disaster sources.<br>
<br>
If anyone gets openly licensed imagery for the area, I can host
tiles from it.<br>

What I can do is create a task on <a

for Fort McMurray and we can trace buildings as
they are not all there<br>

Is any freely licensed aerial imagery of the
