[HOT] Activation Updates

[Russell Deffner]

Hi Jean-Guilhem and all,

Yes, it was far beyond any intention to downplay the amazing work any of our coordinators have achieved. A big thank you to everyone who commits their time and effort, whether that's contributing to the mapping effort or searching far and wide for information that helps the coordination team make the right decisions at the right time to succeed in the objectives of the project.

Cheers to all and keep up the great work!

Hi JGC,

I think we all agree there is no substitute for experience :)

I know during the last 2 activations I have been trying to add to the 
pool of useful information the Activation Coordinators have to work 
with, without clutter things up.

You too I saw. It is helpful to get links to information coming out from 
other sources coordinators might not have seen yet.

Hopefully it makes the coordinators job easier too if they know people 
will share important links to relevant data or news with them.

cheers,
blake
