=== CrisisCommons News and Upcoming Events - March 1, 2010 ====

Next All City CrisisCamp Call will be Wednesday at 7PM EST/4PM PST/1500PM GMT: By Wednesday we should have a better sense of how we can support Chile. If you have a project you wish to have for Haiti or Chile - please let us know. 

CrisisCampChile This Weekend
Today we were able to talk to members of the Chilean technology community via the World Bank today to offer our support and assistance. Currently, there is about 120 people within "Digitals for Chile" who have been working hard to aggregate data and projects which will help their communities. We offered to assist them in any way possible and they will be getting back to us if they need any assistance from the Commons. 

Let us know if you are interested in hosting a camp this weekend or next. In addition, there are still CrisisCampHaiti requirements and projects which still require coordination. http://wiki.crisiscommons.org/wiki/Haiti/2010_Earthquake
