MANILA, Philippines – MovePH, the civic engagement arm of Rappler, is looking for volunteers who can assist in gathering critical information from social media on Typhoon Mangkhut (local name Ompong).
The digital humanitarians will use the platform Agos, powered by eBayanihan. Agos is a one-stop online platform that helps gather information to achieve #ZeroCasualty when disasters strike.
We need volunteers to gather the following information:
-
Reports of floods
-
Reports of landslides and other hazards
-
People in need of rescue
-
Infrastructure damage (e.g., roads, bridges, cell sites)
The information that digital humanitarians gather and verify will be relayed to national government agencies and local responders.
Citizen journalists can also send reports, photos, and videos on how their families and communities are preparing for the coming tropical cyclone.
