[HOT] Tasking Request - Paraguay

[Harry Wood]

Hi Ed,

Before a Task Manager job, I've taken (what I consider to be) the first step of creating a wiki page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2014_Paraguay_floods

(what I consider to be) the next step is "preliminary assessment", examining the information about where the floods are, and where likely focus of mapping needs is, and looking at our map coverage in those areas.

I'll do that now. It might only take 15 mins. I will try to edit the wiki with more information. Maybe soon I'll have a clear idea of where task manager job would be best placed. Maybe I'll sprinkle some "Notes" on the map. Maybe I'll *do* some obvious map improvements (TM Job is not the only route to take here)

Anyone want to help with preliminary assessment? Please do. Let me know what you think on IRC. Edit the wiki page as you see fit (I don't want to "own" it in any way) 

Harry

Hello HOT,

Could I request for a task to be setup for the flooding situation in Paraguay?  MapAction are deploying with UNDAC today and it would be great to update current resources for this work.

The AOI is around the south of the country, as indicated in this ReliefWeb alert http://reliefweb.int/map/paraguay/11-june-2014-paraguay-floods.   OSOCC have also reported states of emergency declared in Alto Paraguay and Presidente Hayes departments (http://vosocc.unocha.org/rss/vo_2842cw6o.html). Another report states that the departments of Misiones and Neembucu are particularly badly affected http://floodlist.com/america/160000-floods-paraguay-june-2014.  

More accurate information will follow over the coming days once people are in place.

Many thanks,
Ed Manley (MapAction OST)
