[Talk-ca] Ft. McMurry Fires

[Kunce, Dale]

The American Red Cross is potentially sending some teams to do help the Canadian Canadian Red Cross with damage assessments in Ft. Mcmurtry and other places affected by the recent fires.

As part of the assessment we are potentially going to use OpenMapKit to do a building by building assessment. The OSM data looks pretty good for the area except that not all buildings are in OSM. The assessment would not happen for at least a week or two but we are interested in mapping all of the buildings in the affected area from pre-event imagery. No damage assessment from satellite imagery will occur.

I’ve already let HOT know but it would be great to have support of the OSM-Canada community to help get the work done.

Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in helping or leading.
