More than that, you can point to exact locations that need mapping. :)
I tried exporting it into MapRoulette for Belarus -
https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/8111 - try it.

Yes, sure! We want more feedback :)

We were guided by this PDF:
https://www.hotosm.org/downloads/HOTActivationProtocol.pdf - is there a
better description of needs?

For now it's showing the latest disaster if you don't pass the id, and all
the data is centered around it. We haven't yet implemented a switch (it's
tricky given there is interest in historical disasters!) but you can get a
recent id from gdacs.org.

It's supposed that you just go to the URL after IFTTT posts a link on HOT
slack and get a detailed overview in the OSM context.

We can probably post a similar link. What do you think?
