(people or funding?) Really there are two main types of projects. Disaster response and disaster preparedness, then within that remote response and on the ground response. Our main projects on the ground are in Haiti and Indonesia. We've responded remotely in those places as well and additionally in Somalia, the Ivory Coast and the Philippines to name a few. As far as projects we would like to do that aren't currently being done, I think a lot of that is specific to various countries. We have the concept of a "HOT kit" we've used this a lot in Haiti. One costs about 4,000 dollars and it is basically an all in one mapping kit. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiiWbdZM9wnIdEZIWW5yLWRrdjl0WGN1MXIxRkxGVkE&hl=en#gid=3 By having more equipment and resources to go to specific countries we would be able to do more. An example is the Philippines, Maning has been doing a great job coordinate response there. It would be great to be able to provide GPS units though. In addition to hardware being able to go on training missions also can help with disaster preparedness. We've done everything from 2 weeks to 2 months at a go for this. By being able to show people how to use the hardware they can use it more effectively. > > 2) a brief timeline with featured projects.

Jan 2010 - current : Haiti March 2011 - current: disaster preparedness in Indonesia There have been a lot of remote responses. I think the best ones to look at are: Ivory Coast Turkey Philippines Japan Maybe others can fill in ones I missed. > > 3) i would like to feature Haiti as an example of HOT in action. > what are the things that should specifically be brought out > in such a presentation? I think for Haiti the most important points are: -Began as a remote spontaneous response of the OpenStreetMap Community -HOT began traveling in March 2010 to base the knowledge to people locally in Haiti -Community OpenStreetMap Haiti has developed out of that work and is the local chapter of OSM there. HOT continues to support them there and we are about to jointly begin a project in St. Marc -OpenStreetMap has been used beyond just the initial response phase. After the cholera outbreak the mapping capacity already in existence was able to switch to mapping potential treatment facilities, later this was able to switch to mapping hurricane shelters and other items related to disaster risk reduction. > > 4) what are the typical costs involved in projects HOT does? > (Rotary International is a potential source of funding, one > reason why i'm experimenting with pitching HOT to Rotary Clubs.) This is really going to vary by project and country. I think an ideal project would involve multiple trips to one country and partnership with a local organization (I assume perhaps the local Rotary club)? We've been budgetting a single two week mission with hardware to cost about $20,000 USD. Though if we planned multiple missions that obviously could change depending on needs.
