When disasters strike, Wikimedians respond by writing or updating articles, uploading media or integrating them into articles, adding references, writing queries, producing front page items and so on. Here, we want to exchange experiences, ideas and plans around integrating disaster-related activities (which are often hard to foresee in detail) with other activities within the various Wikimedia communities, and beyond.
