[talk-ph] Typhoon Pablo (Bopha)

[maning sambale]

Dear everyone,

As some of you maybe aware, we are on the 2nd week since Typhoon
Bopha/Pablo struck large areas of the Philippines.  Several
humanitarian agencies are now deployed to assist in the response.
MapAction [1]  is requesting updated road and other information to
many inaccessible areas in the region.

I created a task in HOT's tasking manager [2] , please help in the
tracing.  Right now we have limited imagery coverage (only Bing and
OrbView-3) but you can trace a lot of information from already from
these imagery.  More information on what and how to trace in the
tasking details/workflow.

Advance thanks for helping.
