In both Canada and India, there is a great local OSM community; and I looked at the area around Fort McMurray – it’s pretty much mapped. The Uttarakhand state/province in India seems to lack buildings, but the road network and populated places is pretty good.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Of course there are many in HOT and on this list that can help set-up exports and connect response and aid organizations.
