<div>Bernie,</div>
<div>I do see that the building footprints are in the esri basemap unfortunately this doesn’t actually help. The esri basemap data is just an tiled image and does not provide us with the vector data that we need to complete our work. I’m happy to take the lead
and coordinate the mapping. The existing Bing imagery is good enough for our needs for tracing.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks again for your help.</div>

Given that the US Red Cross are getting involved and have a need for buildings to be mapped so they can use their tool set is there any data sets we might be able to get hold of. I'm thinking of using the Treasury Broad gateway which means its licensed for
OSM but TB are also working with the provinces and some cites on Open Data data sets.<br>

Looking at Esri's world topo basemap in Fort McMurray you can see that the building footprints are very complete. It could be a redundant use of our resources to obtain pre- fire imagery to digitize buildings. Almost anyone could create an app with ArcGIS
Online to do Assessment of building damage. </div>

You might get some help from UrtheCast, as a Canadian company they might<br>
be willing to donate access to footage.<br>
<a href="https://www.urthecast.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.urthecast.com</a><br>
<br>
Not sure that they can provide geo-referenced shots, but any info might be<br>
of use. Their cameras are fixed on ISS, so any orbital software/website<br>
will tell you if/when they have near passes.<br>
<br>
They also have a live feed:<br>
