Dear Friends, As some of you may know Dale Kunce is the Vice President of HOT's Board of Directors, but his real job is as the International GIS Team Lead for the American Red Cross which is currently responding along side the Haiti Red Cross Society after Hurricane Matthew.
Dale was quoted earlier today in a Missing Maps email and had this to say about the importance of OSM map data, and the importance of your mapping: "The data is critical to help us identify those in need, plan and carry out relief efforts over the next few days. It will also help with the long term recovery of the area to build back better, and to help treat and stave off potential effects of waterborne diseases like cholera." --Dale Kunce This is why your mapping is so important, we say it often, but we can not say it enough: Your mapping makes are real difference to the people on the ground, both those providing relief and those suffering through this crisis. Thank you so much for your contributions, every little bit helps more than you will ever know.
