[OSM-talk] Some thoughts against remote mapping

[Hans De Kryger]

Isn't the point of remote mapping the ability to pull a large amount of
people from all parts of life together and map an area of need in a short
period of time? That simply can't be done in area's affected by a disaster
due to the fact they are themselves are recovering from the impact of said
disaster. Asking locals for helps seems not possible.
