#OSM Tracing Guide for Canaan, Haiti
In 2010, a magnitude 7 earthquake struck Port-au-Prince, Haiti, destroying hundreds of thousands of buildings and displacing 2.3 million people. 50,000 of these individuals resettled in Canaan, on the northern outskirts of Port-au-Prince. Canaan has not been formally recognized by the government and lacks running water, electricity, paved roads, and other services. We're mapping the area as part of a risk reduction and urban planning effort.
This tracing guide focuses on the most important features in the area: roads, buildings, and walls.
##Getting started
First, make sure you're using the right background imagery. iD Editor will default to using Bing aerial, but for this area we have high-res drone imagery.
