[update] most of the country knows by now, but i'm signal boosting this for the greater good;
Last Friday, Tropical Storm Sendong (International Name: Washi) made landfall in Northern Mindanao. While the typhoon has since exited the Philippine area of responsibility, the death toll in affected areas has risen to over 500.
One of these areas is the hometown of gilgrado, who some of you on my flist might be familiar with for her work on the Indie Comic, Life As Viciously Impossible. While Dan is safe, other families are not as fortunate.
The posters/information I have shared below have been cross-posted from twistedfork.tumblr.com and alekibutt.tumblr.com. If you could reblog/repost/share/spread the word, that would be amazing. If you could help contribute to the relief efforts, that would be even more fantastic.
Also, if anyone outside of the country is interested in helping, you can follow the link on this Tweet for more information.

Retweet, Replurk, Reblog, Repost. Spread the word, donate what you can, contribute.
Again, I would greatly encourage anyone who is inclined to signal boost, to please do so. It will only take a minute of your time. Thank you.
