In the past seven days Haiti has been hit with several earthquakes one of which had a magnitude of 7. We’ve been busy tracking all of these quakes and updating our public site with as much quake data as possible as well as some demographic data. We will be continuing to update our site at the data rolls in so check back daily for news and updates. Here is what we have so far for the crisis in Haiti.
Check out the maps we have made from link to the datasets below to help with the on going situation on the ground. We would also like to encourage anyone in the community that has relevant data to either contact us or add their data to GeoCommons so that others can use this data to improve the lives of others.
