<span>First step is for us to appraise the rough geographic spread and scale of impact of areas affected from official and media sources. We then look at the quality of data in OSM, and available resources, like Bing imagery, other existing data sets, new satellite imagery. And, crucially presence of local community, and requests for up to date base map data.</span></div>

Ushahidi, HOT, Google Person Finder, ICT, etc. things we talk about everyday and work on, have saved thousands of peoples lives in mega-disasters in places/countries where possibly easier to work in some situations. However, at this moment any humanitarian mapping group that can help with anything are very much appreciated. And all the suggestions I will repost on Chinese twitter - Weibo (<a href="http://www.weibo.com/" target="_blank">http://www.weibo.com/</a>) - to authorities and Departments concerned.
