Dear HOT Community Typhoon Ruby has made landfall at Dolores in North eastern Samar and will traverse to the West over Samar in the next 12-16 hours. Whilst Ruby has downgraded slightly, The Philippine Weather Agency, PAGASA, has released a RED Condition for rainfall in the area. This means that the area will be subject to torrential rin and flooding/landslide risks We need to provide focused mapping support to responding agencies for road access, evacuation centers , etc Please focus on the Priority Areas marked in a Red Polygon on the following two areas http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/801 http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/799 We have requested imagery for unmapped areas in the path to the west, but for now this is our priority Regards Mark Cupitt
