Yes, I think this is a reasonable plan of action.  I looked a Guiuan
during my initial assessment and concluded that although it would
likely be hit hard the focus should be on Tacloban for two reasons.
1) the storm surge will likely have been higher in Tacloban do to the
shape of the coastline there and the direction of the storm/winds and
2) Guiauan was very small.

However at this point, point number 2 kind of works to our advantage
since a small 'detatchment' of mappers could map it entirely pretty
quickly.  As for working westwards back towards Tacloban along the
coast, I think that seems reasonable.  All of the villages along the
coast there are pretty small so mapping them all in detail is
something that is in the realm of possibility.  We are picking up a
huge response to this storm, and I expect we will continue to get more
volunteers as reports of damage start to come in.  This is also a
holiday weekend in the States which further works to our advantage.

I am not sure if we should start a task manager task for Guiauan
itself, or for the whole southern coast there.  The other possibility
is just to split up the towns to individual mappers in the detatchment
team and leave the task manager job for the other volunteers.  Any
suggesions or ideas?
