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

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
