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.
