    Actually US Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) of the Department of Defense was NOT charged with humanitarian response coordination for the Haiti.   The US Agency for International Development is the designated lead agency for US Government humanitarian rseponse coordination...see US SOUTHCOM's own press release

    www.southcom.mil/.../factFilesLarge.php    first paragraph

    "SOUTHCOM established Headquarters, Joint Task Force - Haiti on January 14 to conduct Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief operations in support of the United States Agency for International Development, the lead United States agency,"

    Gee, Dennis. Rather blunt response. Was there some State Department anger over this?

    I'm surprised the only comment on here is a fairly minor correction. There are some incredibly fascinating aspects to this story, and almost all of them have to do with individuals sharing ideas and information with one another outside of traditional channels. I'd rather people understand the power of that rather than read some reminder that USAID is the lead agency for HA/DR. I guess I would also add that USAID is the lead agency for INTERNATIONAL humanitarian response coordination. ;)

    There's a lot of excitement around the DoD about APAN and potential applications that extend far beyond HA/DR support. It was exciting to watch the Haiti response unfold and it's exciting to see some of the new ideas as they unfold.

    What I would really like to know more about is the scalability of Community Server in environments where bandwidth is a problem.

    Allison, do you have any insight into that?

    Jordan,

    During the Haiti relief effort, email integration played a major part in allowing users to participate in low bandwidth environments.  Community content can be both consumed and posted in the community via email, including email-enabled cell phones.

    Through the use of our APIs, several customers, including APAN, have created a mobile version of their sites to allow for webkit or web enabled cell phones to access the site directly.

    Use of this functionality should scale quite well in all low bandwidth situations.
