Thanks Mark.
There are presently two possible scenarios. It either hit Philippines or turn
right and only graze the country. At this point, this is the time to look at
the various options if Philippines is hardly hit.
As we know, imagery is an essential element of a fast response and it is hard
to obtain good satellite imagery in such Meteo related disasters. Satellite
Imagery taken a few days after Haiyan / for post-disaster assessment were of
very poor quality.
Would there be any possibility to obtain images taken from airplanes or should
we consider Civil Drones as an option to produce rapidly both pre and post
imagery for the towns that should be most hit?.
If civil drones were an option to consider, are the any Philippines teams
identified that could produce drone imagery, that are ready to deploy rapidly?
Or, should we look at international teams?
Should OSM plan again to do some post-imagery assessement?, what categories to
use? Humanitarian organizations should also understand that assessments made
from imagery are to identify the priority zones and not to make individual
bulding assesment. Building damage assessments should be done by field teams.
There is also the necessary coordination. If many organizations participate, we
should avoid duplications, with two organizations covering the same geographic
zone.

This 280kph Super Typhoon is headed to the Phillippines. Expected to hit at
the end of weekend north of Tacloban where Haiyan Hit. It is approximately the
same intensity as Haiyan. This one is going to hurt
