Re: [Talk-ht] [CrisisMappers] Tropical storm (Haiti) Typhoon (Taiwan)
Good to hear that there's a crowdmap up and running for Isaac / Haiti. (Added HOT@osm to the list.) I am in the country (have been here about two years) and have started to prepare to the storm with fellow-HOTties. As of now we are doing standard HOT preparations (locating equipment, mappers, checking up with local actors, continuing with checking OSM data (after the license change bot), etc). I have a team of local mappers who are helping out to ensure that we have the capacity to respond as needed. The government has raised the alert level to red (the highest level). It seems that while we may well get a major amount of water and possibly hurricane class winds and there's a possibility for heavy damage (rain of possibly 20-30 cm) it's also quite possible that the wind speeds may not pick up to total destruction levels. The humanitarian threat is real nevertheless to major with some 400,000 people still in camps and a possible trajectory of the center of the storm that might cross right over this area.. Any other people in Haiti or working with / doing things related to the storm on these lists?

Re: [Talk-ht] [CrisisMappers] Tropical storm (Haiti) Typhoon (Taiwan)
Hi, I saw Kurt Jean-Charles this morning, and they are preparing for the storm with his team at Noula.ht (which has a local call center, with a short number, 177), in coordination with local actors, such as the Red Cross and Haitian authorities. He was going to make the announcement himself when they are ready, but I mention it now as it might be better to coordinate as early as possible and avoid duplication of efforts. Best wishes, Jean-Guilhem (currently in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Tel : +509 4362 4735 ; Skype : jeanguilhem Most people currently at Haiti Communitere are planning to move to Phil's apartment in Petionville for the storm, approximately there: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=18.507988mlon=-72.28723zoom=18layers=M ) Le 23/08/2012 12:59, Jaakko Helleranta.com a écrit : Good to hear that there's a crowdmap up and running for Isaac / Haiti.

As always in such events HumanityRoad is monitoring the situation and collecting and sharing information but does not set up own maps. If needed, we will get back to already existing maps and are happy to send out the information about it/them. If we can be of help, let us know. A big THANK YOU to the CrisisMappers Community!
