Some of you may be aware that Sri Lanka Disaster Management Center ( ආපදා කලමනාකරණ මද්යස්ථානය) is organizing OSM mapping projects. This is to " help local disaster managers better prepare and plan for floods as well as to provide more detailed exposure data to develop basin investment plans through the climate resilience improvement project of the World Bank". Initiated by "Vivian deparday" of world bank back in 2012. Phase one of these projects completed the mapping for Batticaloa district. Phase two is currently on progress to map Gampaha distric (Gampaha DS division). At present its about 20% completed and "Suthakaran" (who is a member of this forum too) is managing the project. Therefore on behalf of him I request all OSM mappers to join forces to successfully complete this project as soon as possible. If you are willing please see below: #764 - Sri Lanka - Mapping Road and Infrastructures for Disaster Preparedness and ResilienceThink this is not just creating few lines and nodes but a work of national importance. So I once again request all mappers to participate on this effort.

thank you for sharing this information. i had similar idea . my idea was if we have enough mappers we can split district with each other and start mapping. so this will avoid every one updating same ares and continuously forgot some ares in sri lanka. with this idea i have created all district borders in sri lanka.
currently i am updating hambanthota district. i start from from yala end and now almost complete till Ranna area. you can check how it looks like. zoom the area in hambanthota.
i select hambanthota because it one of least update area in sri lanka. if we can we need to focus on Uva province and north central province.
please spread word of openstreet map with you social net works. for this task at least 40 we need.
cheers for complete OSM !
