Do we have a unified map?

[Serge Gregorio]

Hi all,

Do we have a unified map set up to receive info from other maps (via RSS) running by now?  If yes, can someone provide the URL to it (and embed code)?  Many thanks.

Serge

Hi Serge,

Probably not from the Dev Team until tomorrow.

Thanks.

So does this mean we'll be able to aggregate the info at least from ABS-CBN and GMA? :)

It's far from over :(  Hope we can get this up this weekend?

Hi Gio,

We are working on a map of this at the moment. I’ll email you when we have
it done. We’re working on two sources:

1) The info in the NDCC Sitrep Table D (starting page 14)
http://210.185.184.53/ndccWeb/images/ndccWeb/ndcc_advisory/TY_PEPENG/situati
on_report_on_typhoon_pepeng_17.pdf

2) And the email below:

I hope that helps.
Good luck with your trip and call me if we can help.

Cheers,
Andy

Please be advised that  per  Department of Science and Technology’s
evaluation, Dagupan City, Mangaldan and San Fabian municipalities in
Pangasinan will remain to be underwater til  early next week.  Use of rubber
boats are not advisable because the flood waters  are deep and with strong
current.  There were two river channels formed in Pangasinan because of the
breaches in the dike systems. Flooding  is also expected in the downstream
side of Magat,  San Roque and Pantabangan .  The closure of dam gates (San
Roque, Pantabangan and Magat)  will be recommended as soon as the water
levels in the dams are brought down to normal spilling levels. The dam
operators assures that gate openings are calibrated  to ensure flood levels
are not increased.

Status of Major Road Networks in Regions CAR, I and II.

Maharlika Highway (Caranglan Nueva Ecija) – passable
Manila North Road  (Pangasinan Area) – passable
Kennon Road – not passable
Marcos Highway- not passable

Hi Aileen,

The Dev-Team is doing its final integrations.  I'll try to get it up today.

Nicholas was able to integrate the frontend with my backend.  See a sample here: http://bit.ly/49iGDQ

Hi Aileen, Dan,

I'm leaving it to the Development Team to set up the (hopefully) unified map.  I

On my end, I'm trying to get more warm bodies to update the map (and manage disaster info) through institutional/organizational channels. Posting an appeal for volunteers who are familiar with Northern Luzon might be a good idea too.

I am posting a text message from my friend Angel James (who is with Dagupan Electric Corp) here:

"95 % of Dagupan City is under water.  We are under massive relief operations.  Again, we are urging all family and friends who can facilitate relief efforts with Dagupan or Pangasinan thru ABS-CBN, GMA 7, Phinma Foundation (University of Pangasinan), Dagupan City local government (to: Dagupan City Museum/Astrodome, thru Mayor Alvin Fernandez), also coordinate with Mayor Ferdie Calimlim of Mapandan town, Pangasinan.

Thank you very much for the kind and generous hearts, support and prayers, God bless us all.

Sige Serge, I shall help you find warm bodies to help tag info on Google Mapmaker. I've sounded calls via the Mapping Group, PPCRV IT Volunteers and the Google Technology Users Group Philippines.

Hi Dan,

That is great news! Madaming nag-aabang ng map. Let me know when it's ready.

Thanks,

Aileen :)

One idea to find more folks would be a well written article/tutorial on the websites of GMA News, Computerworld Philippines, ABS-CBN, etc. on how to use Google Map Maker to map your own barangay. 

That way, we can crowdsource this (e.g. wikipedia).

Stress the importance of having your neighborhood mapped in getting aid quickly - (use the recent typhoons as an example).
