[HOT] Haiyan HOT extracts?

Hi all,

I'm preparing a demonstration of a capability I'd like to deploy
immediately for US military disaster relief operations in the Pacific.
Essentially I have geospatial analysts that are immediately deployable, and
GeoSHAPE (geoshape.org) that provides a user friendly portal as well as GIS
services.

For this first demonstration, I'd like to simulate a single analyst
deploying with the initial US response, setting up a geospatial portal in
an offline environment.  The team is able to see basic (our standard CADRG)
maps as well as information provided by NGOs or other sources and create
updates.  The GIS analyst is able to provide basic analysis as appropriate
(e.g. flood analysis) using the same data.  The equipment is two laptops,
one acting as a server, one a client.

For a basis of the scenario, I thought Haiyan would be very appropriate, as
it was in our geographical region, and the U.S. had a large response, so
presumably there is significant data on it.

What I'm specifically asking are:

- Are .osm.pbf extracts of the HOT activation for Haiyan still available?
I looked on the Wiki page and didn't see any obvious links to it.
Preferably an early extract as it most matches my scenario.

- Are there any other sources of data that would be good to incorporate?
What I'm specifically thinking is data that relief teams gathered to
prioritize resources.

I found some interesting Twitter data here:

http://giscorps.maps.arcgis.com/apps/OnePane/basicviewer/index.html?appid=cf6031322a334cc3bfe3f9a74f23b384

That I've gone ahead and downloaded as well as the OCHA symbols.

Thanks in advance.  If I can show the usefulness of this capability and can
get some limited funding, I think I can bring some good value add to the
community.

Dion
