Emergency Shelters And Relief Supply Drop Off Points

Hey all, today I'll be using this space for something pretty serious that is affecting my country.

Of late, Trinidad and Tobago has been besieged by endless rain, resulting in mass flooding and loss of property. Many lives are being severely affected.

To that end, I threw up a quick map using Power BI to show relief centers. The map can be found below. Please click the double sided arrow in the bottom right corner to expand to full-screen.

You can also help to add to the map by filling out the short form below:
Shelters and Drop Off Points

Thank you to all who contribute to the data collection, and I wish everyone the best during this time.


EDIT (28/12/2018):
As the emergency times have passed, I made some small changes to the map. I have added a 'State' slicer which defaults to 'Active' relief points. You can un-check it to see the full list of all those who helped during our rough times. In fact to make sure they don't go unforgotten, I've listed all the companies that I have recorded at the bottom of this post. Truly remarkable on everyone's part.
