The latest news from Chennai is not looking too good:
http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/chennai-rains-crisis-may-worsen-as-more-heavy-showers-predicted/1/536708.html

The city is already severely flooded due to non stop rains, with three more
days of heavy rainfall predicted.

Reports from the flood-map has been non stop and we can see the extent of
flooding: http://osm-in.github.io/flood-map/chennai.html
<http://osm-in.github.io/flood-map/chennai.html#11/13.0000/80.2000/-30>

Desperate users are also reporting issues into our Mapbox map feedback
system reporting families that are stranded in flooded buildings without
electricity food and water.

Is there anyone on the ground in Chennai involved in relief work or any
leads on who could be contacted to know how we can help from the mapping
side?
