Rappler is crowdsourcing the status of cell signals in areas affected by Yolanda

MANILA, Philippines – Almost two weeks after Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) struck central Philippines, the country’s largest telecommunications firms are still working on restoring services in storm-affected areas.

On November 15, Smart Communications and affiliate Sun Cellular announced that they have restored 84% of network coverage in cities and municipalities ravaged by Typhoon Yolanda.

Globe Telecom announced that it has restored 70% of its services in the Visayas.

Re-establishing communication lines is crucial as relatives and friends continue to scour the Internet for word about missing loved ones living in affected areas.  

Help us crowdsource the status of cell phone signals in areas affected by Yolanda.
