There is a simulation today of a Cyclone in Samoa. The Humanitarian Openstreetmap Team, GISCorps and other humanitarian groups participate to the simulation. You are welcome to join in.

We will use OFTC.net #hot channel during the exercise.

You can view the Samoa Cyclone Mapping Monitor at http://pierzen.dev.openstreetmap.org/hot/openlayers/samoa.htm 
Alerts from GEORSS feeds are showed on the map.

To edit tasks, we first login to OpenstreetMap. The task manager provides mapping tasks that take a relative short time to be accomplished.

Below is a list of tasks where you can select an area to edit.
