Dear Friends,

There was a major earthquake in Osaka about 24 hours ago.

The OSM Japan folks have been mapping in response, and have now
increased their efforts and are asking the HOT Community to join them
in their efforts mapping the most impacted areas.

>From Taichi, OSM Japan:

"M6.1 Earthquake happened in north are of Osaka prefecture, Japan.

Some disaster volunteer centers have launched in affected area. We
will support for them. First mission means making building data. If
you have time, please help to us. Thanks!! "

They have excellent imagery and while the cities are very very dense,
with the OSM Japan drone imagery, the mapping is still very easy.

Also, please help us spread the word:
