the resurgence of the Ebola outbreak, both MSF and WHO have warned
about the risk of the spread of the epidemy with the multiplication of
sites of infection. There are difficulties, notably in the forests of
Sierra
Leone, Guinea and Liberia, in identifying cases, tracing the point of
contact and delivering the message to the population about the
infection. There will be an internatioanl conference this week to make
the point about the situation.<br class="" style=""></div><div id="yiv2314542274yui_3_16_0_10_1403957490100_47" style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:13.3333px;font-family:HelveticaNeue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;" class=""><br style="" class="" id="yiv2314542274yui_3_16_0_10_1403957490100_52"></div><div id="yiv2314542274yui_3_16_0_10_1403957490100_49" style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:13.3333px;font-family:HelveticaNeue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;" class="">Both
the Red Cross and MSF are deploying actually in Sierra Leone where

is also important to follow this mapping progress with validating the
data and correcting road classification. For the road data to be
effective for road navigation, it would be important that some
experienced mappers take the responsability to revise the highway
classification according to the <a rel="nofollow" id="yiv2314542274yui_3_16_0_1_1403957490100_36203" style="" class="" target="_blank" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa</a>

and highway=road for review.<br style="" class="">see http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/40c<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">Note
that we should not tag highways based on the condition of the road. A
highway interconnecting villages should be tagged as tertiaray, Highways
ending to various hamlets are taggged as unclassified. Track highways
should be reserved for roads going out of villages in surrounding
