[HOT] 7.9 earthquake in Nepal

Sun Apr 26 16:03:06 UTC 2015

Hi Pierre

the tasks mention we should focus on roads, which seems fair. But what
about at least delineating the "residential" areas? I assume that knowing
where people live, even roughly, will be a great help for the response too.
Or have you received explicit information that this is not needed (because
already well known somewhere else or whatever).

Thanks a lot on advance

Stephane
