This map presents an interpolated building damage intensity surface as assessed from both satellite and aerial survey imagery covering the Commune of Carrefour, 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.
