As Tim as said Thank You for your support,

Pradeeper 

This is a wonderful initiative from Respere, thank you for your support.

Steve D - this may be worthwhile spreading to NZ Red Cross in Thorndon. I know they'll be swamped, so tread lightly.

I'll contact Robert Patton, who is a fan of the Facebook page, from ADRA who may be interested.

I don't have any contacts at Oxfam - does anyone think it would be beneficial to send out a cold email/cold call?

	Dear Cluster Members,
	
	Firstly, our prayers and thoughts go to all who were affected by the
	tsunami in the Samoa area. Gavin, thanks for tweeting about it. Phew -
	there certainly seems to be an increase in disasters these past few
	days!
	
	We'd like to offer our helping hand during this period to assist our
	friends in the region. We have plans to release Sahana SaaS in latter
	part of October - the Sahana Software as a Service version for community
	response to disasters, available free of charge to response groups. This
	would be a SaaS management platform which can host and maintain multiple
	Sahana applications, with the following additional capabilities, as well
	as all the other advantages of a SaaS implementation,
	
	o Sahana application setup instantaneously within seconds (fully
	automated)
	o Schedule backup and restore (no technical knowledge needed)
	o Download backups to local machine anytime (through SSL)
	o Secure access through SSL
	o Integration with GIS servers
	o Messaging and Alerting capability
	o 24x7 monitoring and support from development team
	o Community support forums
	
	It runs on world class servers (Rackspace) and can be setup instantly
	and accessed from any where whilst being supported by a dedicated group
	of Sahana developers during this period.
	
	Since you already have an active community in the area, I'm sure we can
	work together to help the affected regions in someway. We can offer any
	agency (government/non-government) an instance of Sahana-SaaS which can
	be used to assist in the relief operations currently underway. We'd like
	to hear your thoughts on this, and how we can effectively offer this
	free service to the authorities.
	
	Please let me know asap whether this would help or whether we could help
	out in any other way. You can contact me 24x7 via my mobile
	(+94772928456).
	
	Best Regards
	
	Pradeeper
