Dear Jegan,

The Phase 2 detailed damage assessment for Haiti is ready to go, and we would 
like to invite yourself and your GIS colleagues in India to participate. Due to 
World Bank requirements for Q&A we ask that analysts hold Masters or PhD 
degrees in engineering, GIS or remote sensing.

This will involve using very detailed aerial imagery (opposed to satellite), to 
do the following:

    * Update Phase 1 damage points by creating a polygon footprint
    * For each footprint assign a more detailed classification of damage 
(collapsed or very heavy damage)
    * For each footprint assign a confidence level for your damage assessment

    * Adding new damage points and polygon footprints that you can now see on 
the more detailed aerial coverage. 

The results will be used by World Bank planners in the coming days for critical 
reconstruction and recovery planning. We will be using the same management 
system as Phase 1, where analysts enter their login to Virtual Disaster Viewer 
(VDV) and check out grids. Guideline documents for Phase 2 are attached.

To formally recognise the efforts of this community, whose outstanding efforts 
to date meant that the initial damage assessment was in the hands of World 
Bank's in-field team within 24 hours, we have established GEO-CAN (Global Earth 
Observation Catastrophe Assessment Network). For those wishing to become 
involved, we have new logins available. Just simply email myself or Shubharoop 
Ghosh (cc: here). 


We have an aggressive schedule in place for Phase 2, and we ask that all 
interpreters deliver their results to the team as soon as possible. We aim to 
have Phase 2 completed and checked for consistency by the end of the day on 
Sunday.  

Our sincere thanks for any help that yourself and your colleagues are able to 
offer with this critical damage assessment for Haiti.
Best wishes

Beverley
