[HOT] Shapefile of Areas in Pakistan where we need imagery?

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

Harry,

If you look closely at the Spot WMS imagery, the area in blue seems more 
like a broad sketch around the patches available than "imagery we have", 
except in the North where it apparently follows the detail of the 
coverage (which seems to be in the process of being extended, anyway). 
Where I have looked, towns generally do not seem to be covered, for example.

I think the shapefile of affected districts from UNOCHA mentioned by 
Nicolas would be the most relevant, as, for example, logistics might 
need to know not only strictly about the portions of roads that have 
been submerged, but also about what is around.

And, of course, it would be great if the funding efforts described by 
Peter Stumpf could help resolve the potential conflicts with the 
commercial interests of imagery suppliers.

Best wishes,

Jean-Guilhem
