Tomnod nepal1 **UPDATE: The Tomnod team has released a Nepal earthquake data portal with a dynamic map of the latest crowdsourcing results. Today DigitalGlobe released the initial results from the Tomnod crowdsourcing campaign in response to the earthquake that struck Nepal on April 25. The damage mapping campaign will continue, and volunteers are encouraged to visit the Tomnod website to contribute their time and efforts. Additionally, DigitalGlobe is making pre- and post-event imagery available through our Geospatial Big Data platform, hosted by Amazon Web Services. In addition to the pan-sharpened color images we have been releasing over the past several days, we are also releasing the full multi-spectral imagery where available. This imagery comes with a Public License for Humanitarian purposes and should be attributed to DigitalGlobe. The imagery is now available for download through Amazon Web Services in two S3 buckets: Nepal-pre-event and Nepal-post-event. Imagery will continue to load in as it is processed and becomes available.
