<div dir="auto">Hi all, <div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">This is Arogya from Kathmandu Living Labs (KLL). Just had a conversation with Manoj (osm: Manoj Thapa) and other members from KLL's mapping team, who coordinated the ground mapping effort during the 2015 Nepal Earthquake. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">He tells me that the team has been working to remove IDP camps whenever they encounter it. So yes, we can remove them. Please consider this an official response from the Nepal community.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best, </div><div dir="auto">Arogya</div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, 20 Feb 2021, 02:09 Pierre Béland via HOT, <<a href="mailto:hot@openstreetmap.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">hot@openstreetmap.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:verdana,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div><div dir="ltr">Hi Mateusz,</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">After the earthquake in 2015, we did obtain post-disaster images were we could observe in parks and open spaces, the spontaneous camps.
