Hello everyone,

The online response to mapping the areas affected by Typhoon Haiyan is 
very heartwarming. Thank you to everyone involved. Please do continue to 
map as the data is being used by first responders and relief workers.

Most of the information about mapping efforts can be found on the OSM 
Wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Typhoon_Haiyan

Here are some choice highlights:

1. HOT's OSM Tasking Manager: http://tasks.hotosm.org/
- This is where most of the mapping efforts are coordinated. There are 
currently 13 tasks that you can participate in. Almost all tasks are for 
tracing buildings and roads using available Bing satellite imagery. One 
is for assessing damage using post-typhoon imagery.

2. The Atlantic - "How Online Mapmakers Are Helping the Red Cross Save 
Lives in the Philippines": 
http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/11/how-online-mapmakers-are-helping-the-red-cross-save-lives-in-the-philippines/281366/
- Feature article explaining how the map data in OSM can help the 
(American) Red Cross in directing relief effort where it is needed most

3. Changesets map by Pascal Neis: 
http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-typhoon-haiyan-2013/#7/11.502/122.805
- Hourly updated map showing the locations of half of the 8000+ 
changesets in the affected areas. These changesets were done by 600+ 
mappers and contain almost 1.3 million changes (versions) to objects.

4. Before and after map: 
http://pierzen.dev.openstreetmap.org/hot/leaflet/OSM-Compare-before-after-philippines.html
- Side-by-side map comparing rendered OSM data from before the typhoon 
to the current OSM tiles

5. Areal damage overview map of Tacloban: 
http://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/americanredcross.map-ms6tihx6/page.html#14/11.2189/125.0116
- Map by the American Red Cross showing areas damaged in Tacloban. The 
buildings come from OSM. This map has been used by The New York Times: 
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/11/11/world/asia/typhoon-haiyan-map.html?_r=1&

Thanks!
Eugene
