Aerial imagery needed
Colombian Floods OSM mapping team already has vectorized the major of towns and streets Bing Aerial imagery. This is a call for helping us with new and updated images and cover other zones of disasters.
Regions demarcated in the 'Flood zones in colombia' image at right are those which need satellite imagery, mapping activity and active updates.
Aerial imagery available
will likely always be incomplete ... please add more if you find or discover mention of additional areas and sources

Administrative boundaries
Data which can be used for the identification and boundary delineation of Departments and Municipalities is available from the UNOCHA (United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs). Department boundaries have been made available in OSM format and are listed in a table at 2010 Colombia floods/ImportDept; this table also provides a level of coordination to the import effort. Municipality boundaries have in part been made available in OSM format and are described in tabular form at 2010 Colombia floods/ImportMuni.
Tagging guidelines to go along with the UNOCHA data have been described at Colombia/OCHA Boundary Import.
Progress in the importing has been summarized in pie-charts at 2010 Colombia floods/Tasks and Ideas#Help with the import of boundaries.
