Dear all,

 

UNOSAT has made available its comprehensive damage assessment database 
for Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Two new maps, including damage assessment 
statistics, are also available for download.

If using database, please credit: "Damage assessment: UNITAR/UNOSAT"

We will issue .kml version of this database asap.

 

UNOSAT is together with EC JRC and World Bank currently producing a 
comprehensive damage assessment atlas over the earthquake affected areas 
in Haiti in the context of PDNA.  

 

UNOSAT's involvement related to the Haiti earthquake can be followed on 
http://www.unosat.org/asp/UNOSAT-EQ-201001-HTI.asp

 

One can subscribe to RSS feeds for the latest UNOSAT maps for automatic 
updates when new maps become available, please see:

This work is done at the request of UNDP, and in support of the UN-led 
efforts in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake. Swisstopo and the 
Remote Sensing Laboratories (RSL) at the University of Zurich provided 
extensive pre-crisis building data in direct technical support of this 
UN damage analysis. Initial reference data were received from 
collaborative centers (European Commission JRC with the support of the 
Stability Instrument; Sertit/Space Charter) and other supporting 
entities (World Bank, ITHACA, DLR, OSM). This analysis will be validated 
in the field during PDNA and recovery activities, for which UNOSAT 
participates, also in collaboration with EC JRC. Preliminary field 
validation of our damage assessment has been carried out by UNOSAT staff 
in Port-au-Prince over the last days.

 

Comments and suggestions are most welcome.

 

Kind regards,

Einar Bjorgo
