Dear HOT community, were you involved in the 2010 Haiti earthquake response
or recovery (remote or locally in Haiti)? I am forwarding a message I sent
to HOT voting members as I'm still looking for a few more community
perspectives to feature. Please forward to others you know who may have
been involved.
Best
Tyler
p.s. Feel free to send me your reflections on the questions below anytime
this weekend by *Sunday 12 January*

Dear HOT Members,

Sending you greetings from New York and hope you and your families enjoyed
a happy and peaceful beginning to 2020.

This Sunday, 12 January marks the 10th anniversary of the 2010 earthquake
in Haiti. While horrific, the event also offered us stories of hope,
kindness, empathy and healing. It also was a defining moment in forming our
movement around using OpenStreetMap to help others in need.

Were you involved in some way (remotely, in Haiti, or otherwise?) I would
like to summarize and publish (on hotosm.org) short bits of stories from
the perspective of OpenStreetMap community members. If you are interested
in submitting your memories of the response or recovery, please share
thoughts on the following questions (~250 words or less is great):

1. How were you involved in the earthquake response or recovery (OSM or
otherwise)?
2. What do you remember hoping, feeling or witnessing at the time around
how OpenStreetMap was helping in the response/recovery?
3. (Optional) What progress have we as a community made in the past 10
years and/or what are your hopes/dreams for OSM in humanitarian action in
the next 10 years?
4. Please share a photo or two of you related to Haiti 2010 if you have
them.

- Responses can be emailed to me directly (~250 words or so)
- Deadline: this Saturday 11 January
- May be edited for length and published on hotosm.org in the coming weeks
- Please share with others you know where involved

Thank you,
Tyler
