[liberationtech] Typhoon Yolanda

Hi Friends,

Not sure what other CrisisMapping efforts are underway in the Philippines,
but wanted to share some real-time surge estimate feeds I've discovered.

This morning I dug into some of the web resources for the
http://noah.dost.gov.ph Philippines hazard map for friends at the American
Red Cross international section.

While NOAH.ph doesn't have an API to get realtime data feeds, I found that
you can grab certain web resources, like lat-longs for their weather
stations with this url:
http://noah.dost.gov.ph/latest/download/station_all/?_=1384017608305 and
that you can also then loop through those station names to get 24-hour
forecasts on tide surge that update every six hours:
http://noah.dost.gov.ph/td/campomanesbay_td/

Thought that might be of interest..

Best,
Max
