[HOT] ACTIVATION - Haiti Earthquake

[Russell Deffner]

 Dear HOT community,

Forgive the delayed message, only 12 hours from announcing our response in
Algeria; which is still ongoing, stay tuned here
<https://tasks.hotosm.org/explore?campaign=Mediterranean%20Wildfires%202021>;
we heard the tragic news from Haiti. Being the weekend there was only
capacity to analyze the situation and begin creating mapping projects. As
the situation is still unfolding we are being cautious with creating and
publishing projects; when there are projects available you will be able to
find them on the Tasking Manager under the Haiti Earthquake 2021
<https://tasks.hotosm.org/explore?campaign=Haiti%20Earthquake%202021>
campaign.

We are actively working with our voting members from Haiti and partners in
the region but understand that they are likely early in planning and no
direct requests have been made for data. That said, we have preemptively
set our exports at HDX (https://data.humdata.org/) to update everyday; this
is also true for all the countries dealing with fires in the Mediterranean.
As always, if you'd like to discuss this, or any HOT disaster Activation,
we are most responsive on the HOT Slack <http://slack.hotosm.org>
#disaster-mapping channel, or to the AWG and DST email addresses cc'd on
this message.

*How You Can Help!* - We have launched several projects to digitize
buildings (pre-disaster) to create a basemap of the most impacted areas in
Haiti, follow the link above or go to tasks.hotosm.org to get started
mapping!

Thank you for supporting the HOT disaster mapping program!

*P.S. Did You Know? - *You can be part of keeping data quality high! If you
have a lot of experience mapping in OSM, you probably have what it takes to
help new mappers while improving the quality of the data we deliver for
disasters. Fill out the short form at bit.ly/HOTValidators to get started.
Special thank you to the validators who truly make a successful response!
