A good way to be able to contribute to efforts in Nepal - Meg Watters Visual Environment Solutions, LLC Dear all, I'm part of an organisation working to map the ongoing situation in Nepal for aid workers and first responders. Mapping is done by people at home or work from aerial imagery. If people have a spare 15 minutes and would like to help, please consider doing so.
