Dear everyone, As some of you maybe aware, we are on the 2nd week since Typhoon Bopha/Pablo struck large areas of the Philippines. Several humanitarian agencies are now deployed to assist in the response. MapAction [1] is requesting updated road and other information to many inaccessible areas in the region.
I created a task in HOT's tasking manager [2] , please help in the tracing. Right now we have limited imagery coverage (only Bing and OrbView-3) but you can trace a lot of information from already from these imagery. More information on what and how to trace in the tasking details/workflow. Advance thanks for helping.
