[HOT] Typhoon Haiyan - Locating Villages and Connecting Roads

[Banick, Robert]

Thank you to everyone who helps on this task. Unfortunately, we sense that
your work will get heavy use: we're getting word that the impacts of this
disaster are pretty bad.

Many thanks to Andrew Buck for coordinating.

More to come.
