[HOT] Northern Uganda Tracing Exercise / Sprint

[Banick, Robert]

Hi Fran,

We've noticed as much. I'm contacting the Humanitarian Information Unit, our imagery provider, right now to sort it out. I'll ping the listserv as soon as the situation is resolved / we get answers. Sorry for the false start!

Cheers,
Robert
