Challenge: Review social media reports for UN OCHA Assessment Team for social media map. Broad damage from Bopha 12 hours.
This created a single solution: SBTF and Humanity Road split the task by impact days, reviewed, compiled and presented data. OCHA Published the map. Google pulled the feed for their Google Crisis Map
