The Facebook DPKO Support Page for UN Staff in Haiti
http://www.facebook.com/pages/DPKO-Support-Page-for-UN-Staff-in-Haiti/419720475197 contains the latest UN announcements, news reports, resource contacts and a capacity to receive questions from those concerned about the welfare of UN staff in Haiti. The site also contains links to all UN recovery efforts underway in Haiti.
Friends, colleagues and family members of staff can also follow up to date information on Twitter at https://twitter.com/UNHaitiInfo.

For inclusion in Swiftriver and also if we get FB integration done, this will be an important page to check.

What you’ll see here:

  • Big news items that you should know about
  • A list of people who are running certain parts of the operation so you know who to get in touch with for anything
  • A checklist of items that need to be done, which you can comment and “sign up” to complete

The goal is to ONLY have important information on this page, not necessarily conversations, keep those in the chat and email channels.  Keep this easy to read for everyone and only post important items, use your judgement.
