Added homes in neighborhood

Zapsal Ddoolittle86 18. 1. 2019 v jazyce English.

Today I added some homes that were in my neighborhood. There were nearly 100 area shapes not existent in my neighborhood alone. This got me thinking of how OSM could be used in the event of hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes, earthquakes, mudslides, and other natural disasters to have a basemap of where structures once stood. This would make it easier for search and rescue to plan out strategies for tackling the complex problem of finding people in areas that become unrecognizable after a natural disaster.

We are having a humanitarian mapping event this Sunday at UW in Seattle. Checkout our Meetup for details on the event. Good chance to help out and learn more about OSM.
