For those folks tracking IDP and refugee camp locations, we are 
specifically interested in the following:

   1. reported migration of refugees from PAP to rural areas, and
   2. whether refugees and IDPs are migrating as far as the Calumette area


Thanks,

    Dear all,
     
    Two new UNOSAT satellite image assessments are now available. These
    are also included in the latest KML file (see below).
     
    *Overview of IDP Concentrations in Port-au-Prince and Carrefour,
    Haiti (Update2)
    *This map presents an overview of temporary shelter locations of
    displaced Haitians in Port-au-Prince and Carrefour, as identified in
    satellite imagery recorded on 13 January 2010. These IDP locations
    range in size from small clusters of survivors (approx 20-50) to
    large concentrations numbering in the low thousands. Locations are
    commonly situated in open areas away from unstable buildings, in
    parks, sport fields, church compounds and grassy medians of main
    roads. Four case examples are show in the imagery.
    *
    Density of Bridge & Road Obstacles in Port-au-Prince and Carrefour,
    Haiti (Update2)
    *This map illustrates the relative spatial density of major road and
    bridge obstructions in Port-au-Prince and Carrefour, as identified
    in satellite imagery recorded on 13 January 2010. A total of 691
    obstacles were identified, almost all due to collapsed buildings and
    related debris, in only a few cases were the obstructions the result
    of landslides. Of this total, 224 were likely completely blocked to
    motorized traffic and 467 were partial obstructions restricting
    vehicle access. Four case examples of specific road obstructions are
    shown in the imagery.
     
    Note: This is a preliminary analysis; road and bridge damages may be
    underestimated. Please send corrections to UNITAR / UNOSAT:
