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:
