[HOT] HOT Activation in response to Floods in Brazil

[Harry Wood]

User:Britoboy  set up a page in Portuguese with some basic info, and I've 
translated it:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2011_Rio_de_Janeiro_Flooding

We can quickly improve the quality of the map using Bing imagery here in 
Petropolis
http://osm.org/go/OVd1zOCI-


There's missing connecting roads still, and lots of bridge tags need adding 
where roads cross the rivers. I've done a bit just now. Looks like bing imagery 
needs shifting to the North-east a little bit to line up with some GPS tracks 
there

Hi there-

Part of Brazil was under serious flooding (see ReliefWeb - Brazil Floods) and 
might need help. Great if someone can step in, start a FloodsResponse page from 
the WikiProject_Brazil and get in touch with the strong local Brazilian 
community to see how to support them bes. 
I am reaching out to the humanitarian UN & NGO network for usable vector and 
raster data in support of this crisis and will revert to the wiki

Nicolas
