Crisis Mappers Task Force: apply now!

[Anahi]

Hello,
I thought that you may all be interested in this opportunity, and we
would love to have some of the cool OSM people joining the team!

The disaster response to Haiti was unprecedented in terms of volunteer
buy-in and contribution. It was also reactive. The hundreds of
volunteers who rallied to the cause were certainly able and committed
but one of the main challenges during the first few weeks was the need
to train and maintain this informal network. The humanitarian
community openly recognizes the important role that volunteer networks
can play in crisis response. What they need now are guarantees that a
trained and professionalized volunteer force can be on standby and
activated within hours. The good news? Many of the volunteers using
the Ushahidi platform during the response to Haiti, Chile and now
Pakistan are eager to join a professionalized volunteer standby team.

Do you wanna join too?
