[HOT] TomNod integration for the next time around

Thu Apr 30 02:01:05 UTC 2015

Thanks Kevin. I just updated the map, and I have to say the clusters of
"verified" damage seem actionable from a task planning standpoint:
https://geosprocket.cartodb.com/viz/bb5ed630-ee1e-11e4-8dca-0e018d66dc29/embed_map
I look forward to seeing your post about this.

This data could be very valuable to incorporate. Pierre, is there a tech
working group that focuses on the task manager?
