Ushahidi - Our Efforts in Response to Haiti’s Earthquake

We’ve launched Haiti.Ushahidi.com
the Haiti deployment of Ushahidi for the post-earthquake emergency response
The past 20 hours have been sad, exhausting and inspiring. Sad for obvious reasons. Exhausting because many of us have been working straight through with no sleep. But inspiring because of the incredible community of Crisis Mappers.

Here’s what been happening in the community:

• Ushahidi launched a Haiti deployment
• Mikel Maron at OpenStreetMap launched this Wiki
• Andrew Turner at GeoCommons is updating CrisisCommons
• Our friends at Sahana have set up a Development Team
• Sahana has also set up a Wiki here
• Our InSTEDD friends set up a GeoChat instance
• Our friends at MapAction have deployed a team
• Einar Bjorgo at UNOSAT is keeping us posted on imagery

關於 Sahana 的實作展示，用小筆電當伺服器收SMS、結合 Android GIS資訊、接上KMLGoogle Earth。看起來還滿有說服力。
