IRC Chat Room

The primary place for support and coordination is in the #sahana chat room on Freenode (irc.freenode.net). There will usually be at least one member of the support team lurking in the room on a 24×7 basis. Please ping us by irc nick to wake us up.

Missing Persons Sites and Registries

There has been an agreement to aggregate missing persons data in one place and in one format - PFIF. So please report people status via Google, we will be importing data from them:

http://haiticrisis.appspot.com/

Other sites should be phased out or migrated to google as aggregator. Please help encourage other sites to coordinate in this effort.
