[HOT] Fwd: Re: [Talk-ca] Fort McMurray forest fires

[Paul Norman]

Fort McMurray is the 5th largest city in the province of Alberta and has 
been evacuated in the face of wildfires which have burned thousands of 
structures. Satellites have been tasked to gather imagery, but it 
probably won't be very useful imagery for OSM until the smoke has cleared.

My guess is there won't be a HOTUS activation associated with this 
disaster. The HOT work people have been doing so far is mainly improving 
the state of the area in OSM with pre-disaster sources.

If anyone gets openly licensed imagery for the area, I can host tiles 
from it.

I've created a task on my tasking manager for buildings in Fort 
McMurray. Tracing buildings can help us flag buildings affected by the fire

    I will check with my contacts in my day job if they will release
    thier imagery.

    I know DigitalGlobe are tasking thier satellites over Fort Mac.

        I think we'll have to wait until the fire is put out before we
        get satelite imagery.
        What I can do is create a task on tasks.osmcanada.ca
        <http://tasks.osmcanada.ca> for Fort McMurray and we can trace
        buildings as they are not all there

            As you are probably aware by now, a large portion of Fort
            McMurray,
            Alberta has been destroyed by forest fires.

            Is any freely licensed aerial imagery of the affected area
            available
            yet? Will the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap team be creating a
            project
            for Fort McMurray?
