<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431287035102_168098" style="margin:0 0 1em 0;color:black;">If it's important to ramp up
work, a social media campaign (i.e. please repost), and an email blast to
all those thousands if people who first contributed, or to the smaller
percent that stuck around would bring in the needed people power. Point
people to a landing page with concise information on what to map,
buildings) and why. Most people have no idea the monsoon is coming and the
urgency of the work. I know people would be happy to help if they
knew. </div>

marketing communications this is the type of thing that often comes up
needing quick response from leadership and marketing professionals. Usually
done on a quick turn around without much fuss, these quick campaigns can be
quite effective. </div>
