<div>Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
</div>
The online response to mapping the areas
affected by Typhoon Haiyan is very heartwarming.
Thank you to everyone involved. Please do
continue to map as the data is being used by
first responders and relief workers.<br>
<br>
</div>
Most of the information about mapping efforts can
be found on the OSM Wiki: <a

</div>
- This is where most of the mapping efforts are
coordinated. There are currently 13 tasks that you can
participate in. Almost all tasks are for tracing
buildings and roads using available Bing satellite
imagery. One is for assessing damage using post-typhoon
imagery.<br>
