[OSM-talk] Fwd: [CrisisMappers] Crowd Sourcing Location of Flood Affect Villages in KP Pakistan

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

Hi,

I've found one approximate match in GNS so far (Mota- Kha-n Darra for 
requested Mota Khan
Danda), if that source may help (http://geonames.nga.mil - it is 
compatible with OSM, unlike geonames.org).

Best wishes,

Jean-Guilhem

Hi everyone,

I have setup a public google spreadsheet of flood affected villages in 
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa at http://bit.ly/pkflood_kp

We desperately need these villages geocoded. This information will be 
used to conduct things like helli-drops, providing medical aid and 
sending doctors or other personnel to villages worst affected.

Can I ask anyone with some time on their hands to start by

1. checking http://www.geonames.org/advanced-search.html? for the 
village. If a location is found add it to the latitude and longitude. If 
you feel the need to verify the location from a second independent 
source check another geocoder as well.

2. verifying  it from second source
I have set up openlayers here with the geonames embedded in it: 
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1415964/pkfloods_dma.html
I will try to turn this into a proper mashup so that searches appear on 
the map tomorrow - that way we can see our search on the map

3. Feel free to suggest improvement and also share with anyone you know 
who can assist

Thanks
Shoaib Burq
