[HOT] activating Kilauea, HI area

[russell.deffner at hotosm.org]

Hi Roger,

 

Our Disaster Mapping program is guided by a similar protocol (I’m pretty sure DG’s has bits from ours ;) You can get info here: https://www.hotosm.org/projects/hot_training_center 

 

The short version is we have an Activation Working Group that coordinates our response. In the case of Hawaii, the local mappers pretty much took care of things without needing an HOT activation.  However, we almost always support in some way and helping with imagery is something we can do.

 

Best bet to just chat with folks and see what might work is to join our Slack: http://slack.hotosm.org/ either the #disaster-mapping channel or #imagery-coord would do. Or you can email Activation at hotosm.org <mailto:Activation at hotosm.org>  to direct message the working group.

 

Thanks for asking, happy to help!

Open Street Map team,

 

What is the best way to ask this group to activate an area for a disaster? 

 

In Digital Globe’s disaster activation protocol, and it says that the listed partners will leverage the open imagery and data made available (Open Street Map is included) and to solicit them for feedback after an emergency.

We at ITDRC are working with the Hawaii Tracker group on providing communications tools so that they can upload their pictures of the lava flow. As you might guess, however, this is a painfully slow process and we were exploring ways that we might accelerate this with more up-to-date satellite pictures of the area. 

 

Could someone point me in the right direction to make a request? 

 

Rog 

 

P.S. Those needing more information can email me (rrustad at itdrc.org <mailto:rrustad at itdrc.org> ) , and I can loop in the right people at Hawaii Tracker I’m dealing with.  There are also two main ways we openly collaborate – FB and Telegram.

 

FB – Hawaii Tracker - https://www.facebook.com/groups/hawaiitracker/ 

Telegram – Hawaii Tracker (general discussion) - https://t.me/hawaiitracker 

Telegram – Hawaii Tracker (tech people) - http://bit.ly/2LLNRvH (messages here are relayed into a ITDRC member slack channel)
