[talk-ph] Help in geolocating evacuation centers for DSWD (Habagat 2013 response)

[maning sambale]

Dear everyone,

So here it goes.  DSWD have a list of Evacuation Centers (EC) for
several regions.  The list is in this Google Spreadsheet [0].
The ECs highlighted in yellow are those which has a geolocation, you
can see the geolocated ECs in the map [1].

How to help:
1. Go over the list of ECs in the spreadsheet and look for the EC you
know the location.
2. Copy the EC name (Select > Ctrl+C).
3. Go the the map and go to the location of the EC.
4. Click the "Edit" on the top left sidebar.
5. Add a placemark where the EC is located (placemark icon on the top
left corner of the map).
6. Paste the name of the EC in the "Title" of the baloon popo-up.
7. Hit the "Save" button.
8.  Go back to the spreadsheet and highlight the name celle of the
geolocated ECs in yellow.

cc'ed here are the DSWD team in charge of the location.  Please send
them a message if you need write access to the spreadsheet and map.
You can also drag the existing placemarks to improve the location.  Thanks!

PS.  You might be wondering why I am asking you to map using Google
Maps, very simply, this is what DSWD is using right now.  We can help
them by adopting existing tools they use.
