The
2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami
was a disaster which took place in 2011. See
wikipedia:2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami
for details. OpenStreetMap has good map data in this region, and the
Humanitarian OSM Team
worked to further improve the coverage, and update our maps with some post-disaster information. An OpenStreetMap-based disaster information sharing site
sinsai.info
was set up.

Ways to help mapping
Note:This is a brief overview. See
mapping coordination and data sources
for details.
Help mapping from afar
There are several ways you can help from a remote place. If there is anything you can do, please help. However, please note that OpenStreetMap is operated under an open data license, so you cannot incorporate data from incompatible licensing.
Tracing imagery
Satellite imagery are used as source data from which roads and buildings are traced (digitized, by clicking on the image) and incorporated into the digital map.
Importing data
Public data, and data provided for OpenStreetMap are imported into the OpenStreetMap database. This will import data for a vast area in a large batch, so this requires coordination among mappers and communication to discuss tagging.
Copying coordinate data
If there are data that comes with coordinate information, that can be written to OpenStreetMap.
Make sure that the license scheme of the data source is compatible.
Data sources confirmed to be compatible are follows:
emergency shelter map by Miyagi Prefecture local government(Japanese)
. Incorporation work is coordinated with
this spreadsheet(Japanese)
. See
here
for tagging information.
Mapping on the ground
To avoid confusion, at the time of this writing (Mar. 21, 2011), gathering data and mapping on the ground (e.g. moving around with a GPS device) by people other than rescue professionals or people living in the area, is not recommended.
What to map
Note:This is a brief overview. See
mapping coordination and data sources
for details.
Base map
Base map information, such as road and buildings, has not been mapped sufficiently in the north-eastern area of Japan. Please consider helping data entry in the base map. Much traceable imagery is available.
Importable (digital) data is also provided. Please consider helping with this activity if possible.
Post disaster map
Damage caused by the earthquake and tsunami has to be mapped. If you have experience in crisis mapping, please help mapping things that should be mapped, based on your experience.
However, situation is changing rapidly and the kind of information that is required must be considered with experts in the field. The japanese OpenStreetMap community is discussing with HOT to set up policies. Please wait for a while.

Translations
We are currently recruiting translators. There are many documents that need translating. Even translating one of them would be a big contribution.

Mapping Applications
Developing means to utilize OpenStreetMap (such as creating applications, etc.) or localizing(translating) existing applications, are very helpful. Applications well thought for the use on the ground are especially appreciated. At this time, the following forms of applications are being created, or planned. For any other ideas, your imagination is the limit.

Thank you for showing your interest in helping the mapping activities of OpenStreetMap.

OpenStreetMap Japan
has set up
