Under guidance by the United Nations Technology and Tracking Clusters, The OMI has initiated two immediate direct action missions. First, The OMI Haiti IT (HIT) Rescue program is utilizing off the shelf technology to register, track and create protection plans for at risk populations. Second, The OMI Comprehensive Amputee Identification and Rehabilitation (CAIR) Consortium is coordinating field and domestic assets to create a comprehensive data package of patients, volunteers and materials for the UN Disability sub cluster.
A generous donor covered the advance team’s travel expenses. The 5th OMI team is now on the ground in Haiti. Your donation will go directly to purchase desperately needed medical supplies, purchase of critical technology support devises, gasoline, and unexpected emergency expenses.
