[HOT] Fwd: Re: [talk-ph] Just got back from an Aid Mission to the Remote Caluya Islands West of Borocay

[Mark Cupitt]

Hi Jean-Guilhem

The http://hdds.usgs.gov  had some useful imagery (10 December 13).
Unfortunately a lot of our proposed sites were under cloud, but we were
able to get some useful; information, specifically the true location of
many of the proposed mission sites. Damage asssessment is difficult as the
images are quite dark. I used some contrast enhancement that helped a great
deal.

Regards
