Dear Marek,

In the wake of continuous heavy rainfall since last week, different areas of Nepal’s southern plains have been heavily flooded, with the districts in Eastern Nepal among the most affected. This has taken toll on lives of more than 74 people, 48000 houses are inundated, and more than 56 people are missing according to recent reports on national news media.
Government as well as citizens are leading initiatives provide rescue and mostly relief support in affected communities. This task is an effort to help those effort by mapping those areas so that the operation can be more effective and efficient.

We request you to map the areas in the tasks listed below:
