Missing Map - input of OSM

[LucieGueuning]

1. Data from GIS Unit
2. Background of OSM (Missing Map) - building, health facilities, water point, road, villages name).
3. Creation of map IF project starting + no data on map (AUTO message to Jorieke).

Just noting we're using OSM base maps so we'll pick up OSM data automatically. For our default map style, I've broadened the range of map zoom levels for which buildings and health facilities are available at. Roads, village names and water bodies already seem Ok.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 3? You mean if road/building/etc. information is missing? If it's missing then it can be input by HOT teams (I assumer you mean Jorieke Vyncke) and it will automatically get updated on our base map layer since we're using OSM (per previous comment). Detecting when information is missing (you would have to use satellite and/or drone data) to send an auto message is a whole separate project and cannot be done in this phase of work.

(A button for manual notification via email of the currently viewed map area could be done)

@matthewberryman : to clarify what is Water point

• it is not the natural water point that we meant with Missing Map Coordinator.
• it is all the water points created by NGO which are mapped don OSM
• we should have all of those layers clearly identified when analysis a emergency / opening an event (on window pop-up (we should have RSS layers + all layers from OSM).

I've raised a separate issue for legend, however these water point features are not available in mapbox's OSM layers. I had a quick look and seems the HOT group keep a separate database (not the main OSM one), that is not directly queryable via an API. i.e. you can't fetch data directly in real time but need to submit a processing request for an export, and then we'd need to poll for when the download is ready, then download it, stage it in AWS s3, then use the mapbox API to upload it. i.e. there's quite a lot of work to use this extra HOT data. I've only had a quick look so maybe there's an easier path- correct me if I'm wrong.

It seems that we don't have all of that on the map even on the humanitarian layer: building, health facilities, water point, road, villages name

Can you confirm?

We use the HOT tile server https://github.com/MSFREACH/msf-reach/blob/77fe6d54d24eb667518572e8d21db88b0c4132c4/public/resources/js/landing.js#L919 that includes requested features e.g.:

dependant on zoom level. I'm not aware of anyway of controlling this short of asking the HOT map server team to change their style. cc @talltom
