>> One of the municipalities selected for assessment is Carles on the

>> logistics and administration of our assessment surveys and in turn
>> generate more useful data for OSM. If possible we'll obtain
>> post-disaster imagery and set up a separate task to crowd source
>> damage assessments that we can validate in the field.
>>
>> We need your help to get this done in time. Our assessment will be
>> happening later this week, most likely Friday, so we need the
>> community's help to trace the relevant data in time. If you have the
>> time and inclination, please take a cell or 20 and chip in. If the
>> data is good enough it will be used by humanitarian responders.
>>
>> Many thanks to all of you for the time and effort you've given so far.
>> GIS folks in the field are all raving about the quality and
>> thoroughness of the data that OSM provides to this response.
