[HOT] Hurricane Maria - Puerto Rico dam failure

[Pierre Béland]

Hi Andrew
Hard to say where are the risky areas but OpenCycle style might help. It shows that this valley has steep hills near the river after the dam. The water might flow rapidly up tu the sea, about 20km from there. And risks of lanslides in the valley.

The BBC is reporting the failure of a major dam in Puerto Rico.  The OSM
object for the dam is below:

Here is the BBC article:

My suggestion would be to map all the buildings in a strip aprroximately
2 miles wide along the course of the river as it flows north to the
ocean.  Not sure if we should set up a task manager task for this or
just do it in an ad-hoc fashion, as it is not a terribly huge area to
cover.  I am going to start mapping at the dam and work my way
northward.  I will do the Eastern side of the river first, if someone
else wants to map the buildings on the western side then we will not
have any conflicts/duplication.

Send an email if you plan to map on the western side.  If we get more
than 2 or 3 people working on this before it is finished, maybe we
should make a TM task, but otherwise I see no need for one.
