ronnel,

Glad to know you find it useful.  You can add as much info as you
want.  One of the features of the system is to be able to easily
submit a report (no login needed), once you have provided relief to
certain areas, you can mark the report as "fixed" the icon will change
to a blue check mark.  You can "unfix" and "fix" a report anytime.
This way we can monitor which areas need immediate concern.

Another feature is you can monitor specific areas given a certain zoom
level.  For example, if your efforts are concentrated on areas around
Dagupan City:
http://osb.maps.jsintl.org/?lon=120.381&lat=16.05923&zoom=12&layers=BTTT

You can get RSS reports for this area only:
http://osb.maps.jsintl.org/osb-cgi/getRSSfeed?b=15.90708&t=16.21127&l=120.1441&r=120.61789

or if you have a GPS, you can download a GPX file showing locations of
the report:
http://osb.maps.jsintl.org/osb-cgi/getGPX?b=15.90708&t=16.21127&l=120.14411&r=120.61789&open=yes

We can generate reports for you just let us know what specific info you need.

Openstreetmap can also provide you with volunteer mapping services (to
update the background map) and since the data (map and submitted
reports) can be freely downloaded, we can create additional map-based
information.

Good luck and more power!
