[HOT] Collaboration OSM México and Gov of MX for doing Mapping methodology for Disaster prevention

[hyances at gmail.com]

Dear Miriam,

last year, just few days after earthquake hit in Ecuador, I present a
research proposal to Instituto Panamericano de Geografía e Historia (IPGH)
to help with the installation of a geographic open data creation process,
based on the past experiences of activations in the LatinAmerica region (in
Colombia start in 2010
<https://opendri.org/opendri-partners-with-jica-on-training-for-flood-mapping-in-colombia/>,
in 2015 we win an honorific mention from UN OCHA during the World
Humanitarian Day celebration for national activation in Salgar, Antioquia
<https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B19WcoSjCmvnczVlVXNzTzF1eXc> project).

I just checked a few minutes ago and now I have the pleasure to announce
that the proposal was accepted (only cover travel expenses and similar, so
it is a volunteer activity)

http://www.ipgh.org/asistencia-tecnica/proyectos-2017/pat-aprob-cart-2017.html

The proposal is leaded by Costa Rica; but other three countries are
included: Ecuador, Uruguay and México.

I think Miriam that we can joint efforts in the same direction, because
Estrategia Digital Nacional and Secretaria Nacional de Educación of México
are part of the proposal.

Shelters (organized or spontaneous) are key for disaster datasets, are part
of the UN OCHA FOD's
<https://www.humanitarianresponse.info/applications/data/country-region>
and last year we create a wiki page for Ecuador about how to map it:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ES:WikiProject_Ecuador/2016_Earthquake_Tags

Exists several sources and ways to map shelters, about for sure we can talk.

Warm regards,

Humberto Yances
