Many of the areas are very badly mapped which makes responding difficult. You can help create up to date maps by tracing aerial imagery:

Here's how to get started:

- StavrosK 12y agoIt looks like all three regions have been fully traced and validated? This is the first time I've seen this, but it looks like there's nothing to do there, to me.
- jaakkoh 12y agoWhile the Ebola response mapping jobs are in pretty good shape there are other open tasks where there is plenty of unmapped territory. With an OSM account you can see the full list at http://tasks.hotosm.org http://tasks.hotosm.org . E.g. http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/468 http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/468 is completely undone (albeit 3 squares are being worked on as I write this) and http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/467 http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/467 has just 3 squares done (with 2 being worked on). Both of these two tasks are linked to US State Department's Humanitarian Information Unit's MapGive program, which BTW has nice video intros/tutorials to getting started with OSM (http://mapgive.state.gov http://mapgive.state.gov).
