'''''Anyone can consult free OpenStreetMap Online maps, Routing services or even put the Map on their Smartphone. For a crisis like this Nepal earthquake, contributors from around the world rapidly digitize the data from satellite imagery to support the humanitarian organizations that deploy to the affected countries.'''''

'''''Our goal is to contribute to humanitarian relief by rapidly providing a detailed and accurate map (i.e., road network, villages, buildings, etc.) to support the humanitarian organizations. These services help locate people at risk efficiently, and facilitate the delivery of goods and services to remote areas.'''''

The OSM servers, editors and geo-data tools let us offer a variety of free map and export services to the humanitarian community. The OSM community support to these Activations is also impressive. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team creates a bridge between the OSM community and the humanitarians. We partner with various international organizations and take responsibility for targetted map improvements while the international organizations deploy in the field to respond to disasters and support the local communities.

== Map and Data Services ==

=== About OpenStreetMap ===

[http://openstreetmap.org OpenStreetMap] offers an online map and spatial database that is updated by the minute. Various online maps are based on OpenStreetMap, including [http://map.project-osrm.org/ Navigation tools such as OSRM].

Tools and services allow data extracts for GIS specialists, routable data for Garmin GPS, GPS navigation with smartphones and other device-compatible downloads. With an Internet connection, regular syncing is possible, because there is open access to the community-contributed data as it comes in. Also bulk with downloads of OpenStreetMap data are ideal for use offline. In addition, maps can be printed to paper, if needed.

[http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/27.7107/85.2912&layers=H Browse the Activation Area] to get a feel for the data that is currently available. Different map styles, including a special Humanitarian style, can be selected on the right side of the screen. Though some data may not render (appear) on the online map, it can be exported from the underlying database for other uses requiring more detail(See export section below).

=== Paper Maps ===

Large poster-size maps and letter-size paper atlases of custom areas can be printed:

* [http://fieldpapers.org/ FieldPapers] '''Paper Maps''' with grid for field survey or general navigation purposes,

* [http://www.maposmatic.org/ MapOSMatic] '''Large Paper Maps''' with grid, street index and POI, good for command centers, hospitals, etc.

* [http://kathmandulivinglabs.github.io/quake-maps/ Kathmandu Living Labs Quake Maps] printable PDF extracts of major cities

Ongoing updates about this activation are posted on the [https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/hot/ HOT mailing list]

== How You Can Contribute ==

<div style="clear:both;"></div>

=== Edit the Map ===

* You can contribute from the Internet by tracing buildings, roads, waterways, etc. To react rapidly to support humanitarians deploying, we need a lot of contributors for remote editing. Visit [http://learnosm.org LearnOSM.org] to get started. See the specific [http://learnosm.org/en/coordination/tasking-manager/ LearnOSM Task Manager tutorial]. The best way to learn is to participate to Mapathons where experience contributors of your community will show you the basics of editing.

* '''More experienced OSM contributors''' are invited to read the guidelines on [[Nepal/Roads |Tagging Roads in Nepal]] and to revise the classification of roads. You also can assure the quality of the mapping by validating the Task manager tasks or using the various OSM Quality control tools.

* Humanitarian field teams and knowledgeable local people also are essential. You can complete the map by adding the names of roads or various infrastructure items. You even can edit the map using small mobile devices. In addition, applications are available for online or offline mapping.

* Add a Note or report an Error using the [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes Notes] feature on the Online Map. OSM contributors will edit the map from your comments.

=== Task Manager projects ===

The following projects have been set-up on the [[OSM Tasking Manager]] :

Summary statistics of all tasks can be found on the [http://osm.townsendjennings.com/nepal/ Nepal Mapping Progress Dashboard]

=== General map improvements ===

As well as small square shaped contributions, we can look to make more wide ranging improvements. Reviewing/improving the overall map data consistency is very useful, but that is also most prone to edit conflicts so please '''save often''' and understand in the busy time like this you might encounter edit conflicts.

Any local knowledge like infrastructure, buildings or road names that you know and can positively identify, are extremely helpful to responding organizations.

Mapping roads is a high priority, the [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nepal/Roads Nepal roads page] for proposed road conventions or guidelines for road categorization is a good reference.

''OpenStreetMap is a editable map, so we can improve it if there's anything missing/wrong ([[Beginners' guide]]). This is particularly useful if you have any local knowledge or you can survey things on-the-ground (names of streets etc)''

'''People who have local knowledge but do not know how to edit OpenStreetMap are still vital to our aid efforts.''' You can share your local knowledge with the OpenStreetMap "Notes" feature. This lets you drop a marker and attach a note with information about the location/building/road that an experienced OSM mapper will then put in the OSM database. For simple instructions on how to share your knowledge with our mappers please see this quick guide to using notes:

[http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Bgirardot/Using_OSM_Notes_to_Contribute_to_Crisis_Mapping How to easily share local knowledge with OSM Notes]

== Imagery and Reference Maps ==

=== Pleiades, Airbus Defense & Space ===

=== Imagery Requests ===

Fresh and archive satellite imagery is being requested through international activations charter and imagery providers. HOT has identified areas that need high resolution imagery for both base mapping and damage assessment. Areas requested are highlighted in bright blue on this map:

=== Imagery hosted by Google Crisis Response ===

DigitalGlobe, Airbus D&S and Skybox imagery prepared, tiled, and hosted by the Google Crisis Response team, and shown on [http://www.google.org/crisismap/2015-nepal-earthquake Google CrisisMap] is allowed to be traced in OSM. See [[Nepal imagery hosted by Google Crisis Response]] for a list of images and corresponding URLs.

=== Public domain topo maps ===

There are two sets of public domain topographic maps available which cover large portions of Nepal. Both sets are 1:250,000 scale, which means they are only really useful for adding place names, of which the maps list thousands. Before we manually copy in place names from these maps we will manually merge in the GNS place names for the area, which will cut down on some of the work. After that is done, we will create task manager jobs to go through and systematically enter all of the place names on these topographic maps.
