This is kind of cool, a Global Emergency Snapshot – a weekly update that provides a snapshot of current humanitarian priorities and recent events.
Here’s more info about this project. Above is a map for the time period Nov. 26 to Dec. 6:
An earthquake with magnitude 5.6 has hit South Khorasan province in Iran, killing at least eight people and injuring 12. As of 6 December, no further information on the impact is available. Typhoon Bopha has made landfall in the southern Philippines on 4 December, carrying winds of up to 160 kilometres an hour. More than 294,000 people have been affected in seven provinces, according to Government estimates. Severe rains have affected at least 6,500 people in Panama, prompting the Government of Panama to declare a state of emergency for the regions of La Chorrera, Capira and Colón.
