*MapAction - Haiti Appeal*

MapAction is a volunteer-based charity and non-governmental organisation
which works in disaster zones providing frequently updated situation
maps showing where relief help is most urgently needed.  The earthquake
in Haiti has killed *all but two* members of the Haitian national
mapping agency (the equivalent of Ordnance Survey).  At Digimap's 10th
Anniversary event on 20th January 2010, Vanessa Lawrence, Ordnance
Survey's Chief Executive and Director General, took a moment to tell of
the work that MapAction are doing in Haiti and encouraged donations to
this cause.  Vanessa's appeal can be seen in the short video at:

Donations can be made online directly from the MapAction
