Help for Nepal

На територии Непала 12 часов назад замапили 3,5 миллиардную точку :wink:

I see that the helper in Nepal very seldom use tag: place=village and place=hamlet.
This cathegory can be used for search.

I use in Nepal place=hamlet for settlements with 10-12 buildings, if more, I use village.
The official list of villages is probably not complete there. So, when we use this description we make probably no or very less mistakes.

This is the message from Kathmandu Living Labs:

Hi all,
Due to the rain yesterday there was a massive landslide that swept away an entire Village in Myagdi district. This landslide has created an artificial dam which is already risen to 150 meters and is already 1 km long. A village upstream have been completely submerged.
There is a huge risk that this dam might burst as we are still having heavy rain and also the aftershocks of the earthquake.
I have created four tasks in the tasking manager and have defined priority areas along the river.
Here are the tasks
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1070
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1071
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1072
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1073
Thank you all for helping out.
Regards
Nirab

New, short information from KLL: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nepal/Table_of_distances
Also: take a look, how exactlz Google Maps in Nepal is. Especially in areas where OSM very detailed is.
An this, without thousands of helpers around the world…
