Picture
Typhoon Yolanda has had a devastating impact on the Philippines.
Thousands are feared dead and many more have been affected by one of the strongest storms on record. The work required to respond and recover from this event will be massive.

One way that you can help is by contributing to OpenStreetMap (OSM). OSM is a free and open map of the world that everyone can access and contribute to. Right now, hundreds of volunteers from all over the world are working together to digitize roads, buildings, and other features from satellite imagery made freely available by Microsoft and the US State Department's Humanitarian Information Unit. With the coordination of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, the geographic information they are creating is already being used by the Red Cross, the United Nations and other responding organizations working in the Philippines. 

To get started, you can:
- Visit the project coordination page for more information:   http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Typhoon_Haiyan

- Login to OSM Tasking Manager (OpenStreetMap account required) and click on a task to contribute:  http://tasks.hotosm.org/

If you have any questions or want to learn more you can join the
mailing list of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team:  https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
