Boosting the signal. Did you ever wonder what it was like to be John Tracy in International Rescue? Do it for real. You'll be the eye in the sky. Look at photos and get the information to help the rescue teams on the ground. Don't worry, there's a short tutorial to help you!
Hi there,
The Zooniverse relaunched The Planetary Response Network yesterday in response to Hurricane Irma and rescue efforts in the Caribbean. We’ve now uploaded a third set of images with much higher resolution, and we need your help to go through them as quickly as possible.
Hurricane Irma has brought large-scale destruction to many islands over the last few days. By analysing satellite images of the stricken areas you can provide invaluable assistance to rescue workers in the Caribbean. Rescue Global are a UK-based disaster risk reduction and response charity who are deploying a team to the Caribbean and will use the information you provide to help them assess the situation on the ground.
Note: we’ve set up two workflows, one where you can quickly remove unclassifiable images from the subject set and the other to tag classifiable images with areas of need. We've also fixed the issue with the zoom tool.
Please continue to keep a close eye on the project after classifications are complete. We’ll keep adding more images as they become available over more of the region.
Join the effort now at www.planetaryresponsenetwork.org.
Thanks,
Grant & The Zooniverse Team
