Thanks for your informative comment ice knife. What you could do is set up an NGO "Tent Action" say, get yourself recognised, get some work done on the ground and build up your profile that way. They will be more likely to listen then.
Others have done similar, Map Action, for instance, might be a good organisation to model yourself on. They came in useful in the tsunami, and for this disaster they are the official mappers. It can be done. Get a bunch of winter shelter specialists together and get it going!
