<p dir="ltr">Isn't the point of remote mapping the ability to pull a large amount of people from all parts of life together and map an area of need in a short period of time? That simply can't be done in area's affected by a disaster due to the fact they are themselves are recovering from the impact of said disaster. Asking locals for helps seems not possible.</p>

<p dir="ltr">I think we have recognized that imports has a place in osm provided it follows community principles and guidelines. Maybe its time to discuss similar principles and guidelines to remote/armchair mapping?</p>
