[OSM-talk] Floods in Khartoum, Sudan

Sun Aug 25 12:25:06 UTC 2013

Hi,

Rainy days last week over Khartoum. New HOT Tasking Manager jobs have been
made from a check between the Formosat 2 August 8 &9 analysis made by
UNOSAT<http://unosat-maps.web.cern.ch/unosat-maps/SD/FL20130806SDN/UNOSAT_A3_Khartoum_Floods_FS2_20130809_Landscape.pdf>,
and NextView panchromatic imagery from August 11 (the situation in the hit
areas did not improve fron taht time due to the heavy rains). This imagery
is available through the TM jobs, once agreed the License Aknowledgement .
Offset exist but have been informed in the offset DB pluging for JOSM:

   - Task Manager Job 303 <http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/303>
   - Task Manager Job 304 <http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/304>

Areas to be mapped are popular, remote neighborhoods. Please map all the
streets and buildings in the task area in order to show the pre-crisis
situation, on which damage analysis will be done.

All the information is accessible from here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2013_Sudan_floods and the TM jobs
themselves

Thanks for those who have already participated and those who will join!

Sincerely,

Hi,

The floods are still hitting Khartoum. Thanks for those who participated to
the http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/289 that is almost finished now.

The wikipage PierZen created has been updated and there are now 2 other
tasks:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2013_Sudan_floods<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2013_Sudan_floods#Mapping_Priorities>

As a first step, we start by mapping only the roads and streets and after
the buildings.

Sincerely,

Severin
