Hi, Just got a message from a humanitarian worker assigned in the Pablo/Bopha affected areas. He said that UNOCHA and MapAction maps are widely used in the field. In his words, "the maps are like the bible in the field especially in the logistics cluster".
The MapAction maps used OSM data we updated using the HOT Tasking Manager. Just great to know that our efforts are being put to good use. Thanks again to all who contributed.
