Hi Mike

There are some folks talking on the OSM Talk ca mailing list about actions and imagery. The governments are curious about digital volunteers and are coordinating via a group called Canvost (a Canadian volunteer network). I've connected them to talk-ca.

At the moment the fire is moving fast and satellite imagery might not be helpful until after it is out.

On a personal note, family (cousins) finally got out. Rebuilding will take time and will need all hands. Even if it is not a HOT activation (I defer to Hotties in Canada as I live in Qatar.) There will be a need for post-disaster OSM maps. 

Thanks again

Heather
