[HOT] New - Nepal Earthquake 7.1

[Pierre Béland]

Thanks Prabhas for this update from Kathmandu. 

We will make the point today with Kathmandu Living Labs on the priority, look for imagery and start new Task Manager projects where necessary.
For  http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1046  please revise the priority polygon if necessary to cover also the southern area.
We will make the point today with the imagery providers.
take care all.

Hi all, the earthquake today was strong and quite long, and has a lot of weary souls shaken. Reports of a few deaths in the valley and landslides in the hills are already coming through. Damage around Kathmandu has been much less than the first time from the reports I have been hearing and observations on my own trip across the city coming home.

The one suggestion I thought I would fire off, which I'm guessing is also obvious to the HOT community, would be focus some energy on this task: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1046 which covers the area nearest to today's epicenter. Even though the imagery is a bit old, doing damage assessments from the last earthquake and IDP camp markings will help the work of relief efforts in those areas.
Other tasks that would also be helpful: - Identifying more recent imagery that has come in in Dolakha and Sindhupalchowk (both priority 1 and 2 districts here) would be good. A few reported deaths are in mostly from Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Lalitpur, Dolakha, and Sindhupalchowk.
Tomorrow, the KLL team will also discuss whether we need to create some new mapper tasks for first and second pass for Solukhumbu district (ie, the Everest region), and more points east. The epicenter this time was farther east than before, and damage reports may come in from farther east in the country.
Thanks,Prabhas

We will await direction from Activation and the Kathmandu Living Labs. 

Some of the humanitarians that I know in the field are posting to social media about their safety. 
Our thoughts are with the Nepali people and humanitarians responding.
