• HDM-based Extract Transform and Load (ETL) services (prototype)
  • To Humanitarian community
  • To CNIGS (Haitian National Mapping Agency)
• Build HDM-aligned JOSM presets
• Build HDM-aligned assessment materials:
  • Re-use reference assessment forms in use in Haiti:
    • Transportation: UNSDIT
    • Health: PAHO
    • IDP camps: CCCM & Shelter clusters
    • Post Disaster Needs Assessments (PDNA): UNDP
      • Damaged buildings: (UNDP, UNOPS, UNOSAT/JRC/World Bank)
      • Other themes to clarify
  • Formats: hard/ soft copy (primary need); PDA-smarthpone (secondary need).
