I did not say that HOT would not engage in North America. I'm not participating in the coordination of HOT and thus cannot judge the priorities the HOT may have. My argument was simply that preparatory work for the event you referred to would be equally important in many regions of the world. And, in fact, the US may be better prepared than other countries. Still, I would consider after-event mapping very valuable as a HOT action. I guess, somebody from the HOT coordination can better clarify the situation.
