<div dir="ltr"><div><br></div>This typhoon will definitely do some damage. Japan Meteorological Agency's bulletin [a] describes the typhoon's going to hit between "Very Strong" to "Violent". Unfortunately, the typhoons path is vast as Eugene pointed out. <div>

The typhoon still has not yet entered our country's meteorological area of responsibility so our weather bureau (PAGASA) is not yet issuing any weather bulletins. In addition, we still have no idea where the typhoon will make landfall—the possible area is more than 1000 kilometers wide.<br>
<br></div>So I cannot say for certain which areas would need mapping help. However, the province of Bohol, which was hit by by a magnitude 7.2 earthquake last October 15 is still recovering. Wherever the typhoon will make landfall, I'm sure Bohol will be affected. So I think concentrating on Bohol currently is best. However, there has already been a HOT task to map the affected area (southwestern Bohol) that has available satellite imagery[1] so I'm not sure what else can be done remotely.<br>
<br></div>Maybe other people have ideas?<br><br></div>Regards,<br>Eugene<br><br>[1] <a href="http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/326" target="_blank">http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/326</a><div><div class="h5"><br><div><div><div><div>

<br>
Seeing alerts about typhoon Yolanda / Haiyan, apparently forecast to<br>
have reached category 4 when hitting the Philippines on Friday, with<br>
winds that could reach 240 km/h and very heavy rains:<br>

<br>
Is there anything related to mapping that could be done to help?<br>
<br>
Is anyone in contact with responders, who might have mapping needs?<br>
<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
