This page's aims
Folks on the ground know their needs and local resources. This page attempts to link to specific appropriate technologies that can be used.
It's based on the [[1]] (simple critical infrastructure mapping) framework developed by [Gupta] and others, and detailed also in a [Defense Horizons issue].
This page was initially based on HAITI_EARTHQUAKE_ASSISTANCE_PROJECT, started by Orlando, and later revamped by Lucas Gonzalez using the SCIM framework.
