WEATHER OUTLOOKCURRENT STORM ANALYSIS : As of 11:00 am today, the center of TD Zoraida was located over Surigao Del Sur...about 10 km west of Bislig City or 110 km southeast of Butuan City...currently moving west-northwest with a forward speed of 19 km/hr towards Agusan and Misamis Provinces. Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) remain at 45 km/hr near the center with higher gusts.

2-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK:

TD Zoraida is expected to move northwest during the next 12 hours then turns west-northwest throughout the rest of the forecast period.

On the forecast track, the core of TD Zoraida will be traversing Agusan Provinces...and will be over Gingoog Bay, very near Camiguin Island around early this evening. Zoraida will then move across Bohol Sea...passing over Siquijor and Southern Negros very near Dumaguete City between 11 PM to 12 AM...and will emerge over Sulu Sea by early Wednesday morning.

By Wednesday afternoon, it will cross Palawan...passing just south of San Vicente...and will be over the West Philippine Sea in the evening.

TD Zoraida will likely maintain its strength within the next 12 hours...and will intensify once the system reaches the Sulu and West Philippine Seas. Advance Intensity Forecast (AIF) shows its 1-minute maximum sustained winds increasing to 65 km/hr by Thursday morning.

CURRENT SITUATION

PAGASA.DOST.GOV.PHNDRRMC.GOV.PH

AS OF 6 AM PHT, 12 NOV 2013

Note: The total extent of damage is unknown as assessments are still ongoing. Expect this information to change frequently as more information becomes available.

ROADS AND BRIDGES• 3 roads in Regions VI and VIII remain impassable.

• The lack of access to affected areas due to blocked roads and damaged infrastructure, limiting assessment and response activities.

AIRPORTS: 4 airports - Busuanga, Roxas, Kalibo, and Tacloban airports remain non-operational

FOOD: 2.5 million people are in need of food assistance, but nutrition supplies are inadequate and logistical constrains hamper delivery of food.

WATER: Water systems are damaged and non-operational in many areas. In addition, some ground water supplies are contaminated.

CHILDREN: A significant number of children were displaced. Over 20,000 schools and day care centers were affected.

SECURITY: Security conditions across the Philippines are rapidly deteriorating. The critical need for food and water has led desperate inhabitants to pillage supplies from shops and supermarkets, notably in the town of Tacloban. Gender-based violence is a major concern.

#YolandaPH: Map Tour by StandbyTaskForce and GISCorps (DHN Members)

Digital humanitarian volunteers have been busing tagging images posted to social media in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) Using the new MicroMappers ImageClicker to rate the level of damage they see in each image, they have clicked over 7,000 images. Those that are tagged as “Mild” and “Severe” damage are then geolocated by members of the Standby Volunteer Task Force (SBTF) who have partnered with GISCorps and ESRI to create this live Crisis Map of the disaster damage tagged using the ImageClicker. The map takes a few second to load, so please be patient.
