[CCIH-Haiti] A Call for Collaborators to Contribute Resources to the K4Health Haiti Relief Toolkit!

[Sharon Franzén]

To help assist the thousands of aid workers responding to the Haiti
earthquake, K4Health has organized the Haiti Relief Toolkit
<http://www.k4health.org/toolkits/haiti_relief> , a collection of practical
and technical resources to help health workers respond more effectively to
the relief efforts underway. 

 

We are seeking your input to ensure that the toolkit is as practical and
relevant as possible.  Practical resources such as manuals, guidelines, and
checklists are welcome. The toolkit covers all vital sectors related to
disaster relief, including  health, water and sanitation, food security, and
shelter, as well as key  field activities supporting the operations, such as
logistics. Resources should focus on meeting both immediate emergency needs
and long-term recovery efforts. Please contribute materials in English,
French, Spanish, and Creole, as available. Please use the toolkit’s
discussion <http://www.k4health.org/forum/4704>  board to discuss issues,
suggest additional resources, and comment on existing content. A list of
current contributors appears on the About
<http://www.k4health.org/node/435676#publishers>  page.

 

To browse the contents of the toolkit, use the tabs to view key topics. You
can also use the Quick Links from the Home
<http://www.k4health.org/toolkits/haiti_relief>  page to access key
information quickly, such as maps of Haiti and a list of relief
organizations working on the ground. The toolkit is accessible online, but
K4Health will also be uploading it to flash drives and shipping them to
Haiti so that those on the front line can access the information easily and
quickly. 

 

If you have any questions concerning the toolkit, please contact the team at
toolkits at k4health.org or leave a comment on the discussion
<http://www.k4health.org/forum/4704>  board.

 

Please excuse any duplicate postings. Feel free to forward this email
message.

 

Many thanks for your help,
