Good to hear that there's a crowdmap up and running for Isaac / Haiti.<div>(Added HOT@osm to the list.)</div><div><div><br></div><div>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.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The government has raised the alert level to red (the highest level).</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div>
<div>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..</div><div><br></div><div>Any other people in Haiti or working with / doing things related to the storm on these lists?</div>
