[HOT] [activation hotosm] Re: Floods in Chennai, India - Tasking Manager Project

[maning sambale]

Hi,

Last week we received a radar imagery derived file showing
water-logged areas east coast of Tamil Nadu.  This includes
towns/cities of Chennai, Pudducherry and Cuddalore.  We are still
getting clearance if we can publish this data.  From this map, we
created another TM project for Cuddalore.  Pudducherry is already
well-mapped so we skipped this town.

We are still trying to connect to people on the ground to scope on the
specific needs.  From twitter accounts, relief is hard to come by due
to inaccessibility of roads. Chennai Airport was closed as of last
week.  Very minimal international response is coming in.
The map we use for crowdsourcing flooded reports in Chennai is here:

OSM India is working on improving data in OSM. TM projects below:
* http://tasks.openstreetmap.in/project/62
* http://tasks.openstreetmap.in/project/63
