[talk-au] SSSI National Bushfire Recovery Map-a-thon - Sunday 9th Feb

Thu Feb 6 02:05:19 UTC 2020

Hi Folks,

I am also not sure that adding Damage=No is suitable for OSM either?

If the building footprint already exists then add a "Damaged" tag with a value of "Yes" if it looks to have been impacted by fire or "No" if it has not been impacted by fire. If you are unsure do not enter a tag at all.

Cheers - Phil

I was corrected by someone off list, looks like they are planning on mapping within OSM https://tasks.hotosm.org/project/7893. Now I have to scrabble to validate Planet Labs has provided the necessary permission for their imagery to be traced into OSM.

I sent an email to the contact email to ask for more information, but by the looks of it they aren't uploading anything to OpenStreetMap, they are creating their own datasets (which may or may not be released as open data, they haven't stated yet). It's unclear how they are planning on consuming OpenStreetMap though. I'm still keen to see what they've identified as important or useful to map.

What they've stated is they'll be using Planet Labs imagery https://www.planet.com/disaster/fires-in-australia-2019-11-06/.

1) As far as I'm aware we don't have an imagery tracing waiver from Planet Labs, it's worth reaching out to Planet Labs to ask for this waiver for use in OpenStreetMap.

2) Since access to the imagery is restricted "We provide limited access to Explorer for up to 30 days to qualified disaster volunteer organizations, humanitarian organizations, and other coordinating bodies." it's unclear how we'd go about asking for access, and who gets access. But for now at least, without (1) my view is we can't trace Planet Labs imagery for use in OpenStreetMap.

Hi group,

I just came across this Map-A-Thon by chance, apologies if it has been shared already and I missed it:

Extract from the above page:

The SSSI National Bushfire Recovery Map-a-thon is being held on Sunday, 9th February, 2020 and registrations are now open!  To register visit: SSSI National Bushfire Recovery Map-a-thon <https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/sssi-national-bushfire-recovery-map-a-thon-nat057-tickets-90744133145>  

SSSI is thankful to the surveying and geospatial community for reaching out to assist with the bushfire recovery effort and for the continued offers of assistance from individuals and businesses from within Australia and globally.

>From reading through the pages, they are going to be using OpenStreetMap in conjunction with government data and imagery, so not sure if they have any new datasets/imagery layers that we haven't already mentioned on the list...

Stephen.
