[OSM-talk] Heads up to all crisis mappers

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

Hi Paul,

Old US maps of the area are available there :
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/pakistan.html

Professor David Petley's blog is very interesting :
http://daveslandslideblog.blogspot.com/

This subject was mentioned on HOT list :
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/hot/2010-May/000115.html

Mapping of the area could certainly be improved, including upstream of 
the landslide dam. And David Petley has estimated that a catastrophic 
breach could have consequences down to the Tarbela dam.

Unfortunately, there does not seem to be many OSM-compatible sources 
available, beside Landsat and the above maps.

With best wishes,

Jean-Guilhem
