[talk-ph] Typhoon Megi/Juan Humanitarian OSM Team activation request

[maning sambale]

Hi,

A couple of updates to our efforts.  All in the wiki:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Philippines_Tropical_Storm_2010

1. Typhoon Megi/Juan is about to leave the Philippines Area of
Responsiblity, fortunately, very few casualties.  But the extent of
damage needs to be monitored.
2. River mapping is continuing.
3.  Bunny donated scanned topographic maps (1:50k).  You can use the
maps for adding names in the landsat derived rivers.  The maps are not
georeferenced you can do this via mapwarper, once rectified you can
now use it in josm and merkator.  Note that the topomaps are
copyrighted by NAMRIA, bunny scanned them personally and is allowing
the use for OSM.
4. I identified possible SPOT5 2.5 color imagery.  We need to
prioritize which images we should request for donation.  Please edit
the wiki and provide a description why we should request the specific
image tile.

As of this time, we have very little data we can offer to relief and
rescue workers, but given the resources in the wiki.  I believe we can
provide good data soon.
Thanks to everyone.
