[HOT] Fwd: [CrisisMappers] [Urgent] China quake: Scores die and hundreds hurt in Sichuan

Wed Apr 24 18:45:31 UTC 2013

Hi,

Qiyang Xu, Geospatial Specialist from The World
Bank<http://www.linkedin.com/company/the-world-bank?trk=ppro_cprof>,
who notified this alert to the Crisismappers list, wrote back to my email
regarding most populated affected area after Lichuan Earthquake. So we can
create a TM jobs now based on this area (see the uMap link) with the Spot5
Imagery. Someone interested?

Sincerely,

Severin

Hi Severin:

Thank you for the links I think it covers the most populated areas. It
would be great if the following Provinces could be mapped as well as 1.
they are vulnerable to disasters and 2. there were several earthquakes that
happened in recent years.
Gansu Province
Sichuan Province
Yunnan Province

Best,
Qiyang
