Uniting To Help Victims of Typhoon Haiyan

Calling all developers, designers, NGOs and tech thinkers... we have
launched a First Responders Geeklist #hack4good to help people and
animals in the way of this horrific Super Typhoon. Typhoon Haiyan
(Yolanda), one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever observed, made
landfall Friday Nov 8, in the Philippines and has devastated many
regions of the country, killing thousands, destroying homes and
communities and leaving over 300,000+ in evacuation centers. Find out
how you can help.
