>
>
> With the resurgence of the Ebola outbreak, both MSF and WHO have warned
> about the risk of the spread of the epidemy with the multiplication of
> sites of infection. There are difficulties, notably in the forests of
> Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia, in identifying cases, tracing the point
> of contact and delivering the message to the population about the
> infection. There will be an internatioanl conference this week to make the
> point about the situation.
>
> Both the Red Cross and MSF are deploying actually in Sierra Leone where
> various sites of infection have been identified.  There will be again a
> CartONG GIS specialist on the ground. This should faciliate the interface
> with HOT about priorities to map. As new imagery is available, we will
> create new jobs.
>
> You can contribute to this new Tasking manager job covering the zone from
> Koidu to Gueckedou.
>
> It is also important to follow this mapping progress with validating the
> data and correcting road classification. For the road data to be effective
> for road navigation, it would be important that some experienced mappers
> take the responsability to revise the highway classification according to
> the https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa wiki page.
> This Overpass query facilitates importing highway data in JOSM for review
> of the classification. It imports both highway=track and highway=road for
> review.
> see http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/40c
>
> Note that we should not tag highways based on the condition of the road. A
> highway interconnecting villages should be tagged as tertiaray, Highways
> ending to various hamlets are taggged as unclassified. Track highways
> should be reserved for roads going out of villages in surrounding forests
> and farmlands.
