[HOT] Tharparkar Drought in Sindh Province, Pakistan - Mapping to support Aid Deliveries

[Mark Cupitt]

Dear All

In support of the Drought Relief Efforts in The Tharparker Desert, the HOT
Community has commenced a Humanitarian Mapping Project (HMP) to map
population areas, access roads and airfields as well as water sources and
other critical information.

The Tharparker region in Pakistan is the world's 18th largest desert and
has been in a state of drought since late 2013. Recently more than 100
people have died as a result of the effects of the drought.

The Pakistan Government has mobilized to assist this stricken area and this
HMP will be useful to support relief efforts by agencies attempting to
reach all the people in need.

Full background information on the drought and mapping needs are on the HMP
Wiki<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Team/Pakistan_Tharparkar_Drought>
Page
and a Tasking Manager <http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/462> Job has been
created for the area

This is a* Medium Priority HMP*, secondary to the Guinea Ebola
Outbreak<http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/473>
 activation.

Please help map this desert area when you have some spare time and when the
Guinea Ebola Outbreak is completed.

Regards

Mark Cupitt
