 Objet : [HOT] Polio Outbreak and Ebola Preparedness - East Cameroon - New Task Announcement
   
Dear All
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) need all rural Cameroon mapped in response to the Polio outbreak and also monitoring and preparing for a possible Ebola outbreak.
A New task has been created to assist with Round 2 of this project using High resolution imagery supplied by DigitalGlobe’s WorldView-2 service available on the Mapbox Satellite Layer.

http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/777 

Please assist these organizations by mapping the following:
   
   - villages/residential areas (Polygons tagged landuse=residential)   

   - roads, streets, paths (tag roads according the Highway Tag Africa wiki page)   

   - water bodies, rivers, streams and forests
   - open areas (not fields, just smooth open ground next to towns) as leisure=common as these are potential helicopter landing sites. 
   - school areas, easily identified as 1 or 2 long buildings at the edge of the village often with two small toilet buildings behind them. The schools are almost always accompanied by a large open area for the children to play in, tag the whole area of the school complex (amenity=school) and trace the school buildings ( building=school) and bathrooms ( building=yes and amenity=toilets.)


NOTE: Buildings are NOT required on this Task, but landuse=residential will be used to identify future tasks to map buildings, so please include all residential areas as Polygons


If you have local knowledge, please also identify:
   
   - names and boundaries of settlements, sub-places, administrative districts and health districts   

   - medical facilities   


The Polio outbreak in Cameroon has been ongoing since at least October 2013. The outbreak continued into 2014, with international spread to Equatorial Guinea. In March 2014, WHO elevated the risk assessment of international spread of polio from Cameroon to very high, due to  expanding circulation and influx of vulnerable refugee populations from Central African Republic (CAR). This risk assessment remains in place. Further undetected circulation in Cameroon cannot be ruled out. Moreover, the risk of virus spreading into CAR is considered to be particularly high given the large-scale population movements from CAR into Cameroon.
