According to the logs on the HOT list it started on 24th, with 45-50 e-mails related to the ebola response in the first 24 hours, and 3 tasks initiated that same day, which tends to show a pretty good reactiveness.

It could be instructive to do the same investigations directly in the OSM base. My feeling is that on this crisis the emerging African OSM communities made a difference.

March 22 2014, we started to monitor this humanitarian response. Thanks to all of those who contributed, who are still supporting the humanitarians in the field.

As discussed this week with the humanitarian organizations and UN Agencies on our skype coordination group, we should be both optimistic with the progress in reduction of cases and realistic in the efforts to maintain to control this epidemic and help the West Africa countries the most affected to build better sanitation conditions and restart the economies severly affected by the last year epidemic.

See the twitter to thanks all the OSM contributors.
