Hi,
I just wanted to get in touch with someone and see if you can help us. We are trying to create a NY/NJ hub by bringing together all the organizations in area operating in Haiti for the relief efforts. We wanted to see if someone can help us with a database and plot it on google maps to visually see the presence of the organizations operating in Haiti.
Please contact me on 469-348-4820 if you can assist us in this initiative.
Thanks.

Hi Deep Kohli,
There are tons of people you can contact. You can email us at crisiscommon@gmail.com or you can contact Anna Curran who has been heading up NYC.
Cheers,

Good afternoon,
I am in the process of looking for a humanitarian job in Haiti. I have 25+ years of construction experience and want to find something that will use those skills to help the people there. I am looking for a paid position.
Do you have any recommendations. I have looked at the Devex website but wanted to see if you have any other thoughts.
Thank you.
John
Hi Deep Kohli,
If you can get the lat/long coordinates of each site, it takes minutes to give you a Google map visualisation for them – see here: http://wiki.crisiscommons.org/wiki/CrisisCamps#Maps_of_CrisisCamp_Locations
for example screenshots and the code that created them. DM me at @bodaceacat if you still want to do this.
Sara.
