Hi Blake,
Yes Fred and the Haitian dronists on the ground have skills and extensive
experience but little resources to keep up their work; this did not prevent
them from doing what they are good at. This can limit the span of their
action at a time where humanitarian actors need local capacities
Hi Nico,
As you say, you and Fred have extensive experience in Hait and working
with international partners in Haiti. Fred is actually on the ground
in Haiti. You and he would be the best to coordinate him flying
missions.
This is not something HOT does, we do not coordinate or push for UAV
Ciao Cristiano, grazie x il email !
It's still time for us to help Fred and the Haitian UAV collective to do in
2016 for Cyclone Matthew what had been done for Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and
in Disaster Risk Reduction schemes for large organizations.
But it's a question of hours/days at this
Thanks for the comments, Nicolas. If you don't mind, let's try to stay
focused and not digress into polemical arguments, at least during an
active response. Happy to sit down later with you, Fred and others to
discuss how we can better coordinate in general around imagery.
Not sure you understood
