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?
