<br>
As you all know, the global response to map Yolanda/Haiyan affected<br>
areas is tremendous. So far, many of the tasks are fairly covered by volunteers<br>
worldwide.<br>
<br>
For the OSMPH mappers, I would like us to focus on the following tasks:<br>
<br>
1. Maximize the use of DigitalGlobe imagery since it will expire in 30<br>
or less days.<br>
I created a task for this [0].<br>
<br>
As you can see the imagery coverage is well beyond the Typhoon<br>
affected areas. We can use this to improve data for example in:<br>
- New Bataan (Pablo 2012)<br>
- Zamboanga City (post-MNLF crisis)<br>
- Bohol (Earthquake, 2013)<br>
<br>
2. Trace small islands along the typhoon path. Many of these small<br>
islands may have people<br>
(check the imagery if there are evidence of settlements). Let's put<br>
them in the map so that<br>
responders know they exist.<br>
<br>
3. Do general quality check of edits. Osmose by OSM-FR is a good tool to<br>
check common errors [1].<br>
<br>
4. One last tip if you use JOSM, in order to avoid conflict with<br>
simultaneous editors nearby,<br>
use JOSM's GeoChat plugin [2] to chat with editors.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
