Dear HOT community, were you involved in the 2010 Haiti earthquake response or recovery (remote or locally in Haiti)? I am forwarding a message I sent to HOT voting members as I'm still looking for a few more community perspectives to feature. Please forward to others you know who may have been involved. Best Tyler p.s. Feel free to send me your reflections on the questions below anytime this weekend by *Sunday 12 January*
---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Tyler Radford <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Jan 8, 2020 at 6:39 PM Subject: Happy 2020 + would you like to contribute to a retrospective on Haiti 2010 earthquake? To: Membership <[email protected]> Dear HOT Members, Sending you greetings from New York and hope you and your families enjoyed a happy and peaceful beginning to 2020. This Sunday, 12 January marks the 10th anniversary of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. While horrific, the event also offered us stories of hope, kindness, empathy and healing. It also was a defining moment in forming our movement around using OpenStreetMap to help others in need. Were you involved in some way (remotely, in Haiti, or otherwise?) I would like to summarize and publish (on hotosm.org) short bits of stories from the perspective of OpenStreetMap community members. If you are interested in submitting your memories of the response or recovery, please share thoughts on the following questions (~250 words or less is great): 1. How were you involved in the earthquake response or recovery (OSM or otherwise)? 2. What do you remember hoping, feeling or witnessing at the time around how OpenStreetMap was helping in the response/recovery? 3. (Optional) What progress have we as a community made in the past 10 years and/or what are your hopes/dreams for OSM in humanitarian action in the next 10 years? 4. Please share a photo or two of you related to Haiti 2010 if you have them. - Responses can be emailed to me directly (~250 words or so) - Deadline: this Saturday 11 January - May be edited for length and published on hotosm.org in the coming weeks - Please share with others you know where involved Thank you, Tyler *Tyler Radford* Executive Director [email protected] @TylerSRadford *Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team* *Using OpenStreetMap for Humanitarian Response & Economic Development* web <http://hotosm.org/> | twitter <https://twitter.com/hotosm> | facebook <https://www.facebook.com/hotosm> | donate <https://hotosm.org/donate>
