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

[Harry Wood]

What I have now done is set up some 'notes' to guide some filling in of missing rivers
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2013_North_India_floods#River_mapping


As I say, we could also do a task manager job over the city of Dehradun  http://osm.org/go/zm8r~jUM-  I didn't set this up

I'm going out now to give a training course in OpenStreetMap to some people here in London. Maybe I'll get them all to do some mapping here.

Harry

Wow, this is great. Can we create a hot job on the tasks.hotosm.org and link it to the wiki?

Guys, I already announced a wiki page coordinating a response to this disaster a day and half ago:
