Hi,

I assume that the presentations will be made available by CartONG. To
see UAV imagery of Rivière Grise shot by COSMHA and Aurélien, you can go to:
https://josm.openstreetmap.de/mapsview?entry=Drone%20Imagery%202014%C2%A0%28Haiti%29

An index of imagery available via predefined suppliers in JOSM is here:
https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Maps

and also includes in particular, as another example hosted by OSM-FR,
the Pléiades satellite cover of Gaza taken at the beginning of July:

This thread is an opportunity to thank CartONG very much for having
organized so well this very interesting conference, where it was a great
pleasure to meet so many persons of value, as Chambéry mayor underlined
himself in his opening talk, and to see a confirmation of the role that
OSM will play in the ecosystem of humanitarian actors.

Let's keep going, and try to do our best to live up to this responsibility.

Best wishes,

Jean-Guilhem
