Dear everyone, Collecting some news related to the recent Typhoon Pablo/Bopha. Provinces that was heavily affected are Compostela Valley and Davao del Norte [0].
There are several crowdsourcing mapping initiatives happening around, I listed them and other map resources in my blog [1]. If you are interested to participate in some initiatives, I urge you to join the Crisis Mapper's Standby Task Force for geolocating and classifying tweets and photos which will be used for UN's disaster response [2 and 3]. Related to OSM, most of what was covered by Bing in Eastern Mindanao has a good coverage for roads. However, one important natural feature we sorely lack in these areas are natural features like rivers which are important data for such kind of disasters. I encourage you all to include river and waterways in your mapping list. Of course there is the usual donations for relief operations.
