This particular Eden document work-flow is simply a guide on how to create a project on the Sahana Software Foundation.

Why should I add a project?

Adding a project on the Sahana Software will give you a chance of responding effectively to disasters in your community, and probably to the neighbouring communities as well. This software has been used, for example to enable effective disaster response during the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
