<div dir="ltr">Hi John,<div><br><div>Dale is the American Red Cross GIS Team Lead. I'm on his team and have been deployed to Canada to work in-person with the Canadian Red Cross.

Staff has been very busy but we're ramping up and exploring options for how to leverage different tools and data sources to support the Red Cross operations. The focus is on the evacuees, many of which have dispersed to distant locations around the country. When residents are allowed to return to the town and longer-term recovery activities become a priority, I foresee having an excellent OSM base layer as being a valuable asset. Both for facilitating operational decisions, and demonstrating the power of the OSM community and easily accessible geo-data with an open license! </div><div><br></div><div>I would love to connect with those involved in coordinating the current tasks up on <a href="http://tasks.osmcanada.ca/" target="_blank">http://tasks.osmcanada.ca/</a>.
