Greetings gscholz,

Thanks for the questions. Concerning your first question, Apple has an agreement with Maxar to use their more recent imagery to edit OpenStreetMap, which is not publicly available for editing OpenStreetMap. We generally use the imagery that is already available in JOSM but where we do use that more recent imagery, we always cite it and the date the imagery is from in the changeset source.

As for your second question, the hamlet’s roads and buildings were completely devastated by this year's flooding in the above imagery. I was unsure if this town may be rebuilt, so I left the place node features unchanged. The trunk reroute that I modeled can be confirmed by the OSM community with Strava GPS traces which I cited in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/148888971. 

I added the removed roads back that used to reach Pueblo Neuvo with destroyed:highway tagging (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix), and track tagging for the sections of road that can still be seen. I will leave the POIs tagging as it is now for the local community to update since I do not know if there are plans to rebuild or not.

Regards,
