[HOT] [Talk-in] Fw: [CrisisMappers] 25 killed; 24,000 stranded as rain wreaks havoc in Uttarakhand, India

[Mikel Maron]

To start, we can identify the affected areas, and check on sources of data to improve the map.


This is the region? http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=30.09&lon=79.3&zoom=8&layers=M Looks very mountainous. 
Quick spot checks on Bing imagery, it's high resolution. Other sources?


If we can identify a bounding box for the region, then can set up a job on the tasking server http://tasks.hotosm.org/
