Dear all,

You probably heard about yesterday's blasts in Brazzaville, killing at 
least 180 people and injuring over 1300.

I work with MapAction, the international disaster mapping organisation 
(www.mapaction.org), and we will probably send a team to Brazzaville 
later today to assist in the relief efforts, in particular to create 
maps for Search and Rescue and recovery activities.

However, as with all things GIS, we depend on data.

If you have detailed (city level or regional) map data on Brazzaville 
and/or Kinshasa and are able to share this for the relief efforts please 
send the data, along with a short description to *brazzaville at mapaction.org*

In particular we are looking for data on:
- city basemaps (road maps)
- Government/ official buildings
- Schools, hospitals, etc
- Utilities
- Local and inner-urban administrative divisions
- Inner urban population

Data can be in GIS data formats, scanned maps, spreadsheets, anything 
really on the listed topics.


We already have data from OSM, Goggle and Bing Maps, so no further need 
for these.

Thank you

Karl Hennermann
