Haiti

This aerial survey of the Corail IDP camp in Port au Prince, Haiti was conducted as part of the first operational deployment of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) by the United Nations in February 2012. A total of five sites across Port au Prince were surveyed by a UNITAR/UNOSAT field deployment in direct support to on-going earthquake recovery projects of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). In the case example of the Corail camp illustrated in this map, the UAV acquired during a single flight a complete image mosaic of the camp and surrounding informal settlements at an unprecedented spatial resolution of only 5 centimetres; thus providing IOM and local government authorities with the most detailed aerial imagery ever acquired over the city. Technical support for the UAV system was provided by SenseFly, and the mission was conducted in the context of the GMES GEO-PICTURES project. The results of this UAV survey have been validated on the ground. Please send feedback to UNITAR/UNOSAT at the contact information below.

This aerial survey of the Cité Soleil neighborhood in Port au Prince, Haiti was conducted as part of the first operational deployment of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) by the United Nations in February 2012. A total of five sites across Port au Prince were surveyed by a UNITAR/UNOSAT field deployment in direct support to on-going earthquake recovery projects of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). In the case example of Cité Soleil illustrated in this map, the UAV acquired a near-infrared (NIR) image mosaic of the neighborhood and surrounding settlements at an unprecedented spatial resolution of only 5 centimeters; thus providing IOM and local government authorities with the most detailed aerial imagery ever acquired over the city. Technical support for the UAV system was provided by SenseFly, and the mission was conducted in the context of the GMES GEO-PICTURES project.

This aerial survey of the Gran Ravine section of Port au Prince, Haiti was conducted as part of the first operational deployment of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) by the United Nations in February 2012. A total of five sites across Port au Prince were surveyed by a UNITAR/UNOSAT field deployment in direct support to on-going earthquake recovery projects of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). In the case example of Gran Ravine illustrated in this map, the UAV acquired an image mosaic of the settlements along the steep hillsides at an unprecedented spatial resolution of only 7 centimetres; thus providing IOM and local government authorities with the most detailed aerial imagery ever acquired over the city. Technical support for the UAV system was provided by SenseFly, and the mission was conducted in the context of the GMES GEO-PICTURES project. The results of this UAV survey have been validated on the ground. Please send feedback to UNITAR/UNOSAT at the contact information below.

This poster illustrates the background, methodology and results of remotely sensed (aerial photographs and satellite imagery based) damage assessments of buildings in the earthquake affected area in Haiti.
The Haiti building damage atlas was produced by the United Nations' Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT), the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC), and the World Bank in support to the Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) process led by the Government of Haiti.

This map presents an interpolated building damage intensity surface as assessed from both satellite and aerial survey imagery covering Delmas Commune, Haiti. Damaged buildings were classified according to visually-assessed damage levels according to the EMS-98 classification system. 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 (ITHACA, DLR, OSM). This analysis will be validated in the field during PDNA and recovery activities. Map scale for A3: 1:24,000; Projection: UTM Zone 18 North - NAD-83.

This atlas presents an overview of building damages in Haiti as identified in satellite and aerial imagery recorded after the magnitude 7.0 Haitian earthquake of 12 January 2010. It was produced in support of the Post Disaster Needs Assessment and Recovery Framework (PDNA); and represents a joint analysis by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT), the European Commission (EC) Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the World Bank. The categorization of damage is based on the European Macroseismic Scale (EMS-98) Five-level grading system. This atlas product includes an overview map of the atlas sheets, as well as individual sheets at a scale of 1:2,500 for A3 size hardcopy prints. Projection: UTM Zone 18 North - NAD-83.

Occasionally, UNOSAT carries out extended analysis over an area and produces pages dedicated to delivering analysis and information surpassing and supplementing our normal products. Once these crises are over, these event pages are removed from our homepage, but are kept available for the sake of posterity and to allow for interested parties to access this information in the future.

This map presents an interpolated building damage intensity surface as assessed from both satellite and aerial survey imagery covering Port-au-Prince and Carrefour Communes, Haiti. Damaged buildings were classified according to visually-assessed damage levels according to the EMS-98 classification system. 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 (ITHACA, DLR, OSM). This analysis will be validated in the field during PDNA and recovery activities. Map scale for A1: 1:22,000 (A4 Print Scale 1:60,500) Projection: UTM Zone 18 North - NAD-83.
