[HOT] reprojecting EMI datasets (was Nepal: Hospital import gone wrong?)

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

This would be for all the other EMI datasets. (Unrelated to hospitals,
except by email thread).

Feel free to proceed with the rest of the data sets, starting with those
of Kathmandu valley folder.

We are looking into setting up a storage space for file transfer.

Thanks,

Jean-Guilhem
