Thank you Jean-Guilhem,
I didn't find the mail in my inbox.
We are already receiving calls form the population but we expect higher
volume of request starting tonight as there's no sense of emergency
yet in the message conveyed to the public.
We work with the Secretary of State for public security and IOM to
provide full time availability on the croudsourcing platform and the
call center from today to sunday.
we are on maximum alert mode all the message linked to Isaac will be
available on the site on a priority base. I hope that our internet
connexion won't fail.
Best Regards
Kurt

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

Most people currently at Haiti Communitere are planning to move to
Phil's apartment in Petionville for the storm, approximately there:

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?
