The International Environmental Data Rescue Organization ( IEDRO) - a certified 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Deale, Maryland locates, rescues and digitizes historic weather data throughout the world before these paper-based observations are lost forever. Rescuing these historic environmental data will do more to prevent humankind's suffering and death than any other endeavor. These data once rescued and digitized will prevent starvation, control the spread of disease, help understand and mitigate the effects of global warming, provide better severe weather forecasts, prevent deaths due to floods and hundreds of other benefits. We are losing over 500,000 of these critical observational values every day as ink fades and paper disintegrates.
Our current Website administrator had a severe accident and can only provide very limited support. We need someone to help us bring our site up to date...it hasn't been touched for about 3 years. We also need someone who can help us design and create a better functioning website with videos, etc. We can work within your schedule, and while we cannot afford to pay you yet, we can provide any software and related things so you won't have any out-of-pocket expenses on our behalf. None of us at IEDRO receive any salary.
Thanks for considering helping us. Rick (Executive Director)

Description
The International Environmental Data Rescue Organization, IEDRO, is a non-profit organization that assists the scientific and educational communities of mainly developing countries to locate, rescue and digitize all their environmental data currently at risk on perishable media and to make those digitized data freely and openly available to the world scientific and educational communities before those data are lost forever.
After the US Government ceased its support to rescue and digitize these critical historic weather records, IEDRO continued the scientifically critical work as a separate non-profit endeavor using private funds mainly from charitable foundations and individuals helping us gather data to give researchers a better understanding of climate change and global warming, to help prevent starvation, improve flood and mud slide forecasts, to forecast the spread of diseases such as malaria, dengue fever and yellow fever.
Our activities include the discovery, rescue and digitization of foreign environmental data, mainly meteorological (weather) observations, now residing on paper, microfilm and microfiche and magnetic tapes.
We support scientific research and operations in meteorology, hydrology, climatology with additional support to the fields of agriculture, ornithology, oceanography, disease control, rural development, transportation, construction, disaster preparedness and especially climate change and global warming throughout the world.
