Queen's birthday weekend here in W.A - some friends married and invited us out to the celebrations quite a way East from the coast. Very much reminded me of some of the Heidelberg School paintings and had me thinking of some of the Arthur Upfield Bony books. Extraordinary views from the top of Jilakin Rock. The east most occurrence of the Jarrah tree is here, possibly once part of a superforest ranging right the way across the State. A long drive, made fun by the Tin Horse Highway and definitely worth the drive to my mind for the sheer presence of country.

Hi there,

We're putting the Antigua dataset on hold for the moment so that we can cover an urgent need from Rescue Global: basic information about building density in Puerto Rico. Even before post-Maria images come in, we can make maps of population density and expected damage for Rescue Global, but we need more accurate and up-to-date building information than we currently have available.

So this dataset is a bit different than the others: we are only using "Before" images, taken in the past few months, and we are only asking the first question we've been asking of the other datasets: how many buildings do you see?

We're hoping we can get through this quickly, so we're keeping the question to just basic categories of image counts instead of, for example, asking people to spend more time marking individual buildings.

With your help, we can use this information to make a map of expected damage, which will help Rescue Global decide where to focus their initial reconnaissance flights in the days immediately after Hurricane Maria, when power, phones and internet are expected to still be down throughout most of the large island of Puerto Rico.

Please continue to help at www.planetaryresponsenetwork.org.

Thank you,

Grant & The Zooniverse Team
