10/03/2009 | 06:34 PM
(Updated Oct. 9) GMANews.TV is continuing to update this interactive map with information relevant to areas now heavily affected by Typhoon Pepeng, which wreaked havoc on Northern Luzon provinces for almost a week, from October 3 onwards. The information includes waterways that could overflow, flood-prone and low-lying areas, and dam locations.
The public is urged to file online reports on the situation of affected communities, flooding, roads, evacuation centers, rescue and relief operations, in their respective areas. The accumulated reports are compiled as an online spreadsheet, the data comprising which we have been using in updating this map.

Clicking on the link just below the map will bring users to large-view where they can leave comments and more information that can be plotted on the map.
GMANews.TV staff Jun Verzola and TJ Dimacali developed the database and prepared the map interface, while volunteers Nessa Valdellon, AJ Paayas, and June Taguiwalo with the help of GMA News Research staff have done the painstaking work of pinning the data on the map. GMANews.TV staff AR Sabangan, Aie See, and Mavie Ungco researched some of the data on the map.
The New York Times featured our Ondoy disaster map here. We continue to upload new information onto our Ondoy map, which we have been maintaining since September 28. So please send us new information or leave it in the Google maps comments section.
We are also maintaining a missing persons data base and map here. Some of the cases have been resolved, either happily or tragically. Either way, the intent of this effort by GMANews.TV is to contribute to the search by families for loved ones who went missing during The Great Flood of 2009. - GMANews.TV
