notes: The Jacmel region has been impacted by a high-intensity earthquake. Many are dead and missing. Hundreds have lost homes and businesses. For some the recovery process will merely be dusting off, for others it may be a very lengthy process requiring worker retraining, relocation and reconnections with family. The most vulnerable populations of elderly and children are the hardest hit by this tragedy. Why is a high-intensity earthquake particularly destructive in Haiti? Most buildings are not built to any sort of building standards. Additionally, nearly all buildings are made of concrete that is not designed to be earthquake resistant as the region is not typically considered in danger for this form of natural disaster. This creates crumbling, toppling and falling walls, concrete chunks and toxic dust. Haitians may face not only death and injury now, but long-stanging health problems from the debris. Please note: Due to the severe situation, donations received that are not specified for another area will be directed towards storm recovery until further notice. Requests for aid should be sent to need @haitiaid.org. **************************************************** ******************** Breaking News ******************** Brief updates will be posted at twitter @HaitiAidNetwork Full text updates at www.haitiaid.org; photos on our Facebook fan page.

Food, water, and medical supplies urgently needed. **** Update 7:13pm EST, 1/14/10 First ground report from Jacmel: 35-40% of structures in the downtown area have collapsed. Both the airport and a local school yard (building may have sustained damage) are serving as shelter areas. Too many deaths for an accurate count, no estimates available. Supplies needed most urgently are: medicines/items for wound care, bulk food with low packaging, and clothing. We are currently seeking a boat sponsor from either Galveston, TX or Miami, FL that has the capacity to lift a 15,000 pound water generator, diesel fuel and other supplies. If/when secured, we will accept physical donations at a dock location. There is currently no air traffic permitted into PAP airport. Both the port and runway are being assessed in Jacmel for aid to the southern region.

notes: The Jacmel region has been impacted by a high-intensity earthquake. Many are dead and missing. Hundreds have lost homes and businesses. For some the for some the recovery process will merely be dusting off, for others it may be a very lengthy process requiring worker retraining, relocation and reconnections with family.

Most buildings are not built to any sort of building standards. Additionally, nearly all buildings are made of concrete that is not designed to be earthquake resistant as the region is not typically considered in danger for this form of natural disaster.

We are still looking for additional pro bono boat sponsors. **** SEE WEBSITE FOR MORE NEWS UPDATES!! **** Update 2:02pm EST, 1/15/10 We have word that the Jacmel appears to be capable of accepting at least one aid boat. This is a visual inspection as no qualified structural engineers are available. We are working on a boat and are still looking for a boat sponsor. Other organizations with aid boats unable to dock in PAP with the desire to help the Jacmel community, please email: tiffany @haitiaid.org to coordinate ground efforts. Approximately 100,000 people in the area are completely cut off from efforts in PAP and have no reported aid. High loss of life expected. Food, water, and medical supplies urgently needed. **** Update 7:13pm EST, 1/14/10 First ground report from Jacmel: 35-40% of structures in the downtown area have collapsed. Both the airport and a local school yard (building may have sustained damage) are serving as shelter areas. Too many deaths for an accurate count, no estimates available. Supplies needed most urgently are: medicines/items for wound care, bulk food with low packaging, and clothing. We are currently seeking a boat sponsor from either Galveston, TX or Miami, FL that has the capacity to lift a 15,000 pound water generator, diesel fuel and other supplies. If/when secured, we will accept physical donations at a dock location. There is currently no air traffic permitted into PAP airport. Both the port and runway are being assessed in Jacmel for aid to the southern region. A request has been put in to Jacmel to begin mobilizing horses to transport supplies where vehicles cannot travel until roads are cleared/passable and air support is available. **** -> The Jacmel region has been impacted by a high-intensity earthquake. Many are dead and missing. Hundreds have lost homes and businesses. For some the recovery process will merely be dusting off, for others it may be a very lengthy process requiring worker retraining, relocation and reconnections with family. The most vulnerable populations of elderly and children are the hardest hit by this tragedy. Why is a high-intensity earthquake particularly destructive in Haiti? Most buildings are not built to any sort of building standards. Additionally, nearly all buildings are made of concrete that is not designed to be earthquake resistant as the region is not typically considered in danger for this form of natural disaster. This creates crumbling, toppling and falling walls, concrete chunks and toxic dust. Haitians may face not only death and injury now, but long-stanging health problems from the debris. Please note: Due to the severe situation, donations received that are not specified for another area will be directed towards storm recovery until further notice. Requests for aid should be sent to need @haitiaid.org. **************************************************** ******************** Breaking News ******************** Brief updates will be posted at twitter @HaitiAidNetwork Full text updates at www.haitiaid.org; photos on our Facebook fan page.

We are actively fundraising to transport items from Miami to Jacmel, Haiti. Please reach deep - these supplies are critical and transportation options are drying up while need is increasing. **** Update 10:39am EST, 2/13/10 Photos of distribution of supplies ferried by Liberty Schooner to Jacmel, Haiti up on facebook fan page. **** SEE WEBSITE FOR MORE DETAILS! **** Update 5:14pm EST, 1/23/10 Jacmel school needs a diesel generator donated to help provide for 625 students and othe community members. Haiti Aid Network has the ability to transport from Miami. Please email tiffany @haitiaid.org to donate. We are still seeking contributions to extend supply runs to the south coast of Haiti, in the Jacmel area. **** Update 8:25pm EST, 1/21/10 We are closing in on the funds required to green light runs from Miami to Jacmel, Haiti. If you are in the Miami area and looking to donate physical goods, please contact tiffany @haitiaid.org FOR INFORMATION ON WHAT GOODS ARE NEEDED as well as PROPER package and labeling.

Because this is a primarily wind-powered ship, there are minimal fuel costs and continuous runs between Miami, FL and Jacmel from funding until February 28th can be done for $15,000. The boat has a capacity for 10,000-15,000 pounds of cargo and can sleep several people for transport of medical and distribution volunteers.

If we can raise the funds we will accept physical donations at the dock on departure days.
