Map Information
In the early morning of Friday 8 November local time typhoon Haiyan, called Yolanda in the
Philippines, made landfall over Guiuan in Eastern Samar as category 5 typhoon and continued its
route over the Philippines in west north west direction.
Haiyan is an exceptionally strong typhoon with winds up to 315 km/h (GDACS). Surge of sea level is
expected to be two meter, higher on some locations depending on the coast line, and having the
potential for wide spread destruction in areas along the coast.
Heavy rainfall, possible within the 400 km diameter of the typhoon, cause floods and flash floods in
several areas.

Framework
The products elaborated in the framework of current mapping in rush mode activation are realized to
the best of our ability, within a very short time frame during a crisis, optimising the available data and
information. All geographic information has limitations due to scale, resolution, date and interpretation
of the original data sources. The products are compliant with GIO-EMS RUSH Product Portfolio
specifications.

Map Production
The present map shows basic topographic features such as transportation, hydrology and settlements
in the area of Tacloban City, Philippines. These basic topographic features are derived from public
datasets, refined by means of visual interpretation of pre-event Pleiades © CNES 2013 imagery
(acquired on 07/04/2013 02:10 UTC, GSD 0.7 m, 0% cloud coverage).
All satellite images have been radiometrically enhanced and orthocorrected with RPC approach (using
SRTM elevation data).
The estimated geometric accuracy of this product is 12 m CE90 or better, from native positional
accuracy of the background satellite image.
The estimated thematic accuracy of this product is 85% or better, as it is based on visual interpretation
of recognizable items on medium resolution optical imagery. Shadowed areas are zones of lower
interpretation accuracy due to the poorer image radiometry.
Map produced on 14/11/2013 by GAF AG under contract 257219 with the European Commission. All
