Sampling
Typhoon Hagupit Maps
In an increasingly connected world, the ability of the Digital Humanitarian Network (DHN) to
respond rapidly from anywhere in the world to offer assistance to disaster events is growing
rapidly and becoming more coordinated and focused. Maps and geographical information
provide a valuable resource to assist responders, government agencies and people in need. The
advent of web mapping and online Geographic Information Systems means that maps can be
created, deployed and used on any device, anywhere, anytime.
This collaborative project between Humanity Road and volunteers from GISCorps aimed to
review and collate mapping resources relating to Typhoon Hagupit. A wide variety of mapping
products from DHN members, relief agencies and government departments were reviewed and
categorized. Additionally, links to these mapping products were created in the DHN ArcGIS
Online Account: http://dhnetwork.maps.arcgis.com
It is hoped that this work can provide some valuable insight
and serve as a reference for future activations of DHN
members and to raise awareness of the wide variety of
digital mapping products available
They are presented in two categories, static and
dynamic and in no particular order.
About this project
Typhoon Hagupit, known in the
Philippines as Typhoon Ruby, was
the most intense tropical cyclone in
2014, tied with Typhoon Vongfong in
terms of maximum sustained winds.
Hagupit particularly impacted the
Philippines in early December when
it was gradually weakening, killing 18
people and causing $114 million in
damage in the country.[1] Prior to
making landfall, Typhoon Hagupit
was considered as the worst threat
to the Philippines in 2014;
fortunately, the disaster was
significantly smaller than what
Typhoon Haiyan caused the previous
year.[2]

COD Common Operational Datasets (CODs) are critical datasets that are used to support the
work of humanitarian actors across multiple sectors. They are considered a de facto standard for
the humanitarian community and should represent the best-available datasets for each theme.

FOD Fundamental Operational Datasets (FODs) are datasets that are relevant to a humanitarian
operation, but are more specific to a particular sector or otherwise do not fit into one of the
seven COD themes.
