Dear everyone, MapAction is now finished with the response. They are currently wrapping-up all their activities in Mindanao related to Typhoon Bopha/Pablo.
The maps they produced are available here: http://mapaction.org/deployments/depldetail/216.html Below is the message of thanks we received: > Also, just to let you know, MapAction is leaving the Philippines today. Thank > you very much for your supporting us so brilliantly!!! As a result, I am closing this activation. You can of course continue improving the data. Thanks to everyone who supported the effort.
