<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">some ofyou may know Sisi Zlatanova ( Prof at UNSW), Maurits vander Vlugt, and I started a discussion about how geo* people can help with Bushfire response and recovery. We soon realised that there is so much going on, but that communication
is still, often, experienced as an issue. We are here interested in the “user experience” (Ux), by people on the ground. Before we can even discuss how to help, it seems to a good first step would be to gather some information about the problems people experienced.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After minor fine-tunning, we are now happy to release a brief spreadsheet that helps to collect evidence about the experienced problems:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to ask the community to use your social media channels to share this broadly – to not collect information only from geo*experts, but quite on the contrary, from people affected, on the ground. If you can please your social
media channels and other otions, please share the below message:<o:p></o:p></p>
