Good Morning, Thank you Dale for this information on Task 2196. I am a local GIS Technician on Grand Bahama island in the Bahamas, but I am a novice when it comes to HOT. I am trying to learn quickly so that I can contribute as much as I can. Is the learning curve steep on HOT? I am asking because I would like to promote this and other tasks through my friends, family and colleagues to get people contributing their knowledge of the areas. I have coordinates for shelters on Grand Bahama, but not for the other islands, just a list with names. I am wondering how easily others who are not so familiar with mapping can help locating these shelters on the other islands.
