Hi Jherome, HOT Ph is in touch with the Batangas PDRRMO via OCHA as well as OCD, but am not directly in touch with the municipalities. I'm unaware of any coordinated mapping efforts underway in affected areas, but HOT Ph can provide trainers to local LGUs upon request.
We have a virtual mapathon planned for Monday evening 7-10pm and hopefully by then we will have permission from all data providers by then to validate and release ~550 Evacuation Center locations. As I understand it, the affected areas are as well mapped as possible via satellite imagery and can only be improved by local knowledge, hence HOT Ph has not activated a mapping response. If you're aware of any LGUs who'd like to improve their local maps please connect them with me.
