We are currently starting a survey, which you can download in the download section (it is in Spanish).
The data corresponds to households of addresses in a disaster struck area. The same survey is distributed in the formal as well as the formal area of town. The data will be processed into maps that will reveal certain info on the current, disaster and intermediate situation in Macuto.
Last night (31-3-09) we had a meeting with the committee of housing of the barrio in Macuto (read report: Conjunto de Vivienda), they offered to help us and distribute and pick up surveys, in exchange for recieving all the maps when we leave, as well as adding in a few questions.
Next to the community, we have a meeting with the Red Cross on thursday, who offered to enter areas for interviews etc, which currently are to dangerous for us to enter. In that case they will send in personel to do the survey’s and accompany us dressed in IFRC outfits, which supposedly is one of the few things that give absolute safety in this country.
