** =SUPPORT INVENEO'S RESPONSE TO TYPHOON HAIYAN=
------------------------------------------------------------
Inveneo's recent assessment of areas affected by Super Typhoon Haiyan has given
us a first-hand view of the scope of the damage and the vital role
communications are playing right now. We're launching a large response effort
to provide organizations with rugged tablets set up with coordination tools and
to extend connectivity to organizations throughout affected areas. Click here
to donate today. (http://inveneo.org/donate)
=DEPLOYING TABLETS TO RESPONDERS=
After a full week in the affected areas we've seen what responders are asking
for and the critical role technology is playing in planning routes and
operational movement. As a result, we're loading up several hundred rugged
tablets we received as a donation from Google with a suite disaster response
applications to give organizations access to up-to-date crisis maps and to help
coordinate their efforts. Our goal is to get these devices into the hands of
responders and perform trainings on how to use them in the field. Our minimum
cost to deploy is $30k, which will cover 100 tablets, travel and equipment
training for approximately 30 organizations. Additional donations will be used
to extend our field operations. We've seen how invaluable this technology is
and we're moving quickly to deploy it where it's needed.

United Methodists Committee on Relief staff use tablets and other mobile
devices to keep up-to-date with community-generated information like
CrisisSignal and OsmAnd Maps.
** =EXTENDING INTERNET CONNECTIVITY=
------------------------------------------------------------
Along with rugged tablets, Inveneo teams are deploying to extend connectivity
from current access points to areas without Internet access. The same type of
wireless equipment we successfully deployed during our Haiti earthquake
response can rapidly extend the reach of infrastructure in the Philippines,
allowing recovery workers to coordinate and respond more effectively.
** Today we need your help.

Our team is gearing up to return to the Philippines, and we need your support.
The tablets and connectivity we're deploying act as multipliers for
organizations on the ground, increasing coordination and amplifying response
efforts across the board. Click here to donate, and make an impact on the
typhoon response today. (http://inveneo.org/donate)
