[HOT] Central African Republic: Bangui taken over today by the rebels

[Pascal Douard]

Hey Severin,
Yes, every dataset should have metadata that you can read in arc catalog... hopefully you have an arcgis licence somewhere to check on this.
Also I will be sending shortly the updates regarding rod network for Car and DRC.
I will check with our coordinator in DRC if this update (road 2012) is ready to go.
Best regards,
Pascal

Hi Pascal,

Great to have news from you and about the data WRI is sharing! Could you tell us more about the data of the different datasets, for every area? Claire Halleux recently pointed out the last updated data for DC would not be available yet and the existing one is from 2009. Metadata can be found for every dataset on WRI webiste (I did not check yet)?

Sincerely,

Severin

Hey Mikel,
Just may be to give an info, the road had been collected through Landsat images observation and completed with GPS field observation.
Some of the logging roads had been provided by the timber companies, sometimes one track for a network of roads.
As I mentioned yesterday to the Eurosha-team, I will be providing the latest road network we have for CAR and DRC, from late 2012. It won?t be helping at a town scale but more at the national scale.
I also would be interested to participate to a mapping party if this can help.
Best regards,
Pascal
