Track: Disaster and Emergency Management
Authors: Isabel Canete-Medina

In the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan, a request to map GSMA's (Groupe Speciale Mobile Association) mobile network restoration efforts was received from the UN OCHA to the Digital Humanitarian Network. As a member of the URISA GISCorps volunteer group, Isabel Canete-Medina responded to the call and generated two time maps showing the progress of the mobile network restoration in the typhoon affected areas over time.
