[HOT] Cyclone Idai update

[Rebecca Firth]

Hi everyone,

Please find an update on HOT's work for Cyclone Idai & ways to support in
this blog:
https://www.hotosm.org/updates/cyclone-idai-how-can-you-help-by-mapping/

I particularly wanted to highlight these two quotes from those using the
data:

Medecins Sans Frontieres: “It is now almost a reflex for MSF teams in an
emergency setting to ask for GIS support for epidemiology response by
mapping out cases to see where patients come from... They also need GIS
support for water and sanitation assessments, to map out where the water
points and latrines are.”

IFRC: “IFRC will use this content to support the Mozambique Red Cross (CVM)
to deliver assistance to 200,000 people with a focus on the following areas
of focus: shelter, health, water, sanitation and hygiene promotion,
livelihood and basic needs, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), protection,
gender and inclusion.”

Thanks,
