Response to Typhoon Haiyan / Yolanda | Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. The Typhoon Haiyan / Yolanda in Philippines is the worst ever registered. The Humanitarian OpenSteetMap Team (HOT) has activated to provide geographic base data in areas affected by typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan in the Philippines. Currently we are supporting the active OpenStreetMap Philippines community. During the first week of our intervention, more than 1,000 volunteers from 82 countries worked remotely to update OpenStreetMap map. We have activated in conjunction with our partners at the Digital Humanitarian Network(DHN). For more information about what other DHN partners are doing please read their blog post about the activation. Coordinator : Andrew Buck assisted by Maning Sambale and Pierre Béland DHNNetwork : Kate Chapman is one of the coordinator of the Digital Humanitarian Network (DHN)Imagery Support : Jean-Guilhem Cailton OSM HDM map, designed to respond to humanitarian interventions, was enriched this week with colorisation of damaged / collapsed buildings.

Challenges Online Map. Map Catalogue. Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda): The Mapping Response from the Tech Community. Typhoon Haiyan (locally referred to as ‘Yolanda’[1]) made landfall in the Philippines on Friday November 8th 2013. Officially, 1839 people have been killed as a direct result of the disaster, 2624 have been injured and 84 people are missing[2]. Since then, aid has been pouring in from all over the world, currently to an estimated value of nearly £60 million[3] ($96 million). That money has been spent supplying food, clean water, shelter and even aeroplanes.

Charities including the Salvation Army[4], the Red Cross[5] and MapAction[6] have provided doctors, food parcels, drinking water and situational information maps in a bid to manage the impact of a typhoon that, at its most powerful, devastated the islands with wind speeds of up to 235mph[7] (380km/h) and storm surges reaching 5m[8]. The tech community, too, has been swift to respond. Interactive mapping that is self-populating and efficiently moderated can provide valuable support material to those on the ground.
