January
19UN Ops Center was just here. In the past couple of minutes we've found a school that sent an emergency text for a live entrapment of kids and the SAR teams could not find it. SAR team now dispatched to the right location to five decimal places.
Foyer de Sion out of water / responders dispatched. Both reports refer to an orphanage out of water. Report 1070 states a source of help is on the way and the delivery of water is confirmed by our rockstar (literally) volunteer in Montreal.
Reports of emergencies are going straight back to the orgs on the ground, translated and with geo-coords where possible – people in Haiti were responding to this one this morning (19 jan) within 10 minutes of us receiving it
