This work is done at the request of UNDP, and in support of the UN-led efforts to assist the Government of Haiti in the aftermath of the 12 January 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. UNOSAT works in close collaboration with the Centre National de l’Information Géo Spatiale (CNIGS) to ensure efficient geo-spatial analysis support to the Government of Haiti.
