[Talk-ca] Fort McMurray - Canadian volunteer as a point of contact

[Kunce, Dale]

Hey everyone,
Quick status update to say that RC has decided to use the official assessments from the government and we will not be doing our own.

We are still hoping to do a lot of mapping where needed but a building by building ground truth most likely won’t be conducted given the overall lack of individual household damage.

I’ll stay on list and will let this list know if the situation changes.

Thanks

According to Paul Norman in an earlier email that licence isn't compatible with OSM's.

HI Bernie, someone contacted me off list. I am working to coordinate. Just got off the phone with the CanVost liaison to learn more first.

There is satellite imagery but the licenses are not ideal (yet).

Is anybody following up on this opportunity to liaise with the emergency managers in Fort McMurray? They are looking for an Albertan....


    Morning from Doha.

    As mentioned previously there are emergency managers trying to get imagery.
    This is their first time considering digital volunteers. If I can have one
    Canadian volunteer as a point of contact I can hand off the discussion.

    Note: they would really love it if it was someone from alberta. However, i
    think someone who can work on what is needed is also great.
