Re: [talk-ph] Fwd: [waypointsdotph] Red Cross Needs your help
I went around some evac sites today by bike. We tried to visit evac sites that were not "in the news". I am on a borrowed machine to send this mail and upload the gps files. Please help red cross geocode the known evac sites. This is very useful for fast delivery of needs relief goods and services. Most of Marikina's road are passable already so there should be no problem in relief goods delivery. Medyo traffic lang. You can easily geocode evac sites in Markina mostly schools and churches by using OSM data. My data is here: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/file/detail/gps_ondoy_maning.zip The data contains my gpx traces as well as a waypoint file containing evac sites (3 points) a sample data is below: Evac Site: Brgy Sto Nino Elementary School City:San Mateo Barangay:Sto Nino Contact_Person:Lina Teodoro, Brgy secretary Contact_Number:09167968144 Families:affected families- 343, families still in the evacuation center-46 Source:maning survey Have they received Assistance: red cross provided 2(?) days worth of food, more is needed If anyone can trace the road in OSM, I believe (these are new ones) that would be helpful. I will be offline again after this message so please coordinate with Loiue (his contact is below).

[talk-ph] need help on mapping for ondoy/Kestana flood victims in Metro Manila
Hi, In case people in the international community didn't know, the Philippines (capital and surrounding provinces) were badly hit by tropical cylcone ondoy/kestana the past week [1]. My family was affected as well, but we are OK now. Current efforts are now towards search, rescue and relief. As a mapping community I feel we need to do something and contribute. We need to document whatever information we can compile so that volunteers, relief workers, and government agencies can respond to the needs. The recovery efforts may take a few more weeks and we need to sustain activities to restore vital public utilities to affected areas. Some members of the OSM-PH has started creating webmap based on OSM to document what is currently happening on the ground [2]. I appeal to the whole OSM community to help us in this project. What we currently need are: 1. A temporary server space we can use. 2. Create mashups on related information about the disaster (osm data for Metro Manila and adjacent provinces is good enough as a map background), news feeds, location of evacuation sites, missing persons list. 3. An interface in which users can report what is happening on the ground, (I'm thinking of an openstreetbug interface) i.e. This street in unpassable due to floods. This street needs water. This street has no electricity. Too much garbage on this street please collect now. This way communities can report problems and hopefully close "bugs". I lack the technical skills to do this but I am willing to coordinate efforts in some areas and collect field data around my mapping area. Please help us do this project. The hope is the information we gather and synthesize would be helpful. We do not need anything sophisticated at the moment we just need something running ASAP. Thanks in advance.

Re: [talk-ph] need help on mapping for ondoy/Kestana flood victims in Metro Manila
I just had access to the web a couple of hours ago and is looking around for webmaps and other geographic information. I just wrote an appeal to the osm main list on creating a webmap to support the releif, recovery and rescue however, there seems to be several webmaps available already. Is there anything else we can do?

Re: [talk-ph] need help on mapping for ondoy/Kestana flood victims in Metro Manila
Hello, More information: Typhoon Ketsana[1] brought massive flooding to the Philippines. In just 12 hours, rainfall to Metropolitan Manila has brought more water than the monthly September average and has broken a 1967 rainfall record. There has been already around 240 people who are confirmed dead. Aside from Maning, another OpenStreetMapper, Ed Garcia[2], was also affected. His house is in Marikina, one of the cities most affected, and it has been submerged in water and mud. He and his family were able to evacuate to a neighbor who has a two-story house. Aside from the mapping aspect, if you would personally like to help directly, the Philippine National Red Cross will accept donations via PayPal. Their PayPal address is g...@redcross.org.ph [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_Ketsana_%282009%29 [2] http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/ed_waypointsdotph Thanks, Eugene On Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 11:44 AM, maning sambale wrote: > Hi, > > In case people in the international community didn't know, the > Philippines (capital and surrounding provinces) were badly hit by > tropical cylcone ondoy/kestana the past week [1]. > > My family was affected as well, but we are OK now. > > Current efforts are now towards search, rescue and relief.

Re: [talk-ph] need help on mapping for ondoy/Kestana flood victims in Metro Manila
Hi maning, The Ondoy situation maps on Google Maps My Maps ( http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=110868206150348750692.00047479b6400ee29bd89&ll=14.645791,121.107874&spn=0.107954,0.154324) is the most publicized webmap there is. It shows the locations of people needing immediate rescue and help. I don't think we should duplicate that effort since it would split resources. I guess what we can do is to map out rehabilitation efforts instead of people needing rescue. Also, some bloggers and other people I know are looking to use the Sahana FOSS Disaster Management System to coordinate efforts on various aspects of a disaster. I'm not sure how OSM can fit into the picture yet.

Re: [talk-ph] need help on mapping for ondoy/Kestana flood victims in Metro Manila
Thanks, I'm looking at these maps right now. Are the reported cases/placemarks being "closed" if the missing person was found? The placemarks it looks overwhelming but some reports were filed "3 days ago", are these people still missing. What I have in mind is a simple portal for post disaster activities, especially for re-building public infrastructure and utilities (bug report: we need garbage collection here, people are getting sick already.) . These things tend to be forgotten when there is no media coverage anymore. Anyway, let us brainstorm more. And hopefully we can setup something within the day. @ Rally, I don't have the technical skills to setup this up as well. Thanks for offering your resources. Maybe we can think of something useful for your gears.

Re: [talk-ph] need help on mapping for ondoy/Kestana flood victims in Metro Manila
This looks good, but a map is missing, which would've helped in determining rescue routes. Geocoding this will be a challenge.
