[HOT] Activation for Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda)

[Pierre Béland]

The mapping work of OSM contributors and other organizations doing damage assessment is evoluating rapidly. This Red Cross map is a first damage assessment of the city of Tacloban.  Post Imagery have been used to evaluate damage. The buildings traced by the OSM contributors offered the possibility to color each building depending on evaluation of damage.
