When they arrived close to Bangui in late December, we started a preparation, connecting with the humanitarian stakeholders there to identify both already affected towns as well as the ones prone to be, thanks to the EUROSHA volunteers that were deployed in Bangui (but obviously had to leave the country due this political crisis). Specific TM jobs have been created and partially completed, and an import process of the data
provided by some stakeholders (eg UNICEF) have started.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I just updated the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Central_African_Republic">OSM wiki page for CAR</a> to coordinate the mapping goals as of today. Finishing both Bangui and secondary towns is one of them. Regarding the road network, I changed the former proposed typology by the one created for the Mali crisis. Indeed, the really impressive work made by the Hotties in charge of this activation apart, I really like this road typology that, IMHO, could be extended to the rest of Africa and maybe all the developing countries (what is the opinion from people experienced in other continents?). To involve more French speaking people, I translated it today. Pierre, might be good if you have a look on it to be sure I did not make any confusion.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Some existing data, surveyed in the field by various humanitarian organizations, will be imported soon, providing health centers, schools, and watsan objects.</div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div>
