Dear everyone, As the Typhoon Hagupit/Ruby continues to pass through central Philippines we are actively mapping areas where we expect will most likely have great damage. The tasks are available in the wiki [0].
Note that our priority is to improve basemap information. There are other groups geocoding non-basemap information such as rescue tweets, request for assistance, person finder, etc. We are closely working with these groups too. Basic to geocoding this information is for us to have good basemap. As always the international community of mappers are helping us [1]. For local mappers what we need from you is to help us look into the expected stream of information in the coming hours/days. This is for us to re-direct efforts of basemapping in areas where information is lacking or needs urgent update. Please have a look at the map and the TM jobs and tell us if there are areas we are missing detailed basemap. We also need more local people in doing a bit more coordinations tasks. If you are interested, let me and Mark Cupitt know so we can add you in the coordination skype window. Thanks!
