Maps of Haiti Relief Camps

Date Added: Apr 17, 2010;

If you have Google Earth on your PC, you can download map of all the Haiti camps, as of April 15 from this url
http://groups.google.com/group/cccmhaiti/files?&sort=date
Sort the files by date, then scroll down to April 15 and note this name
DTM_All_Site_7April.kmz
Use "+" to blow up the map sufficiently that the camp site symbols are not hopelessly overlapping, mousing over a symbol gives you name of camp, clicking on the symbol gives you data such as this example:

SSID 121_06_301
Name_of_camp USC
Commune LEOGANE
Sec_Communale 6eme Oranger
Area_name Cabaret-Centre

I am saving this KMZ with the name "Camps April 15"
I will be on the look out for an XL with same kind of data.

I downloaded a DTM summary distributed in emergency shelter meetings:100413_ShelterNFI_Summaries.xls
It has totals by major community of population impacted; homes damaged; people in camps; percent of their needs addressed.

316 k Nippes
433 k Grand Anse
585 k SE
690 k Center
1.6 meg Artibonte

3.6 meg total approx

I downloaded PDF addition to my collection labeled "Situation Report 2010 Apr 13 CCCM" It does not have the kind of detail Peter seeks, but of value to my interest is now knowing about relocation sites in Jacmel and Petit Goave, with additional land secured in other sectors of Corail, for more relocation sites a coming. When we have more specific locations, such as GPS, Plan Haiti will want to know that.

Jacmel:
• Urgent need to relocate people from Pinchinat camp, overcrowding and rains.
also 114 families from a school area (K Wolf) to facilitate resumption of schooling.

Leogane:
• In Leogane, 50% of the area is in a flood plain.
Land to relocate displaced populations is still not available.

Petit Goave:
• Local authorities have requested assistance from partners to vacate the three prioritized schools as soon as possible to enable resumption of schooling.

Sites Summary as of April 6

875 in Region 1 GREATER PORT‐AU PRINCE
290 in Region 2 LEOGANE (& Gressier)
125 in Region 3 PETIT‐GOAVE (& Grand Goave)

CCCM (Camps) Strategy

Short-term objective of implementing transitional solutions for populations at risk of flooding and landslides as the rainy season is approaching
Mid-term objective of improving the situation of the displaced in settlements
Long-term objective of providing the displaced with a durable solution leading to the closure of camps.

Remember in earlier posts, I explained how all the rescue efforts submitted budgets to the UN for a flash appeal in February, what they thought it would cost to get various jobs done, then as the money is contributed, it gets matched to the budget, and where money not contributed, some planned activities have to get postponed, and woe betide us if estimates turn out to be off. This is one of the reasons why relocation of people, at risk of death by flood, is at the last minute, for some, and too late for others.

The CCCM funding requirement included in the revised appeal amount to US$73,420,526. Contributions totaling over US$17,201,931 (23%) have been provided by: Brazil, European Commission, Finland , Sweden, Turkey, UK and UN CERF and ERRF.

The joint operation between UNOPS and the Ministry of Public Works (MOPW) has now assessed 25,524 houses selected through the registration process for prioritization of streets and neighborhood of origin of IDPs registered. Of the houses that have been assessed:

• 46% have been stamped as ‘green houses’ namely, safe for return.
• 31% are ‘yellow houses’, which are dangerous buildings and entrance is limited.
• 23% are ‘red houses’, which are dangerous buildings and entrance is forbidden.

Here is a one page PDF dated April 16, which I have downloaded, and given the reference name "Tracking in Haiti April 16 OCHA." It explains the UN system for identifying camps and other sites in Haiti.

P-Code is an abbreviated term for “place code” and SSID is an abbreviated
term for ‘Stable Site Identifier’. P-codes and SSIDs are similar to zip codes
or postal codes and are part of a data management system that provides a
common reference system for locations in Haiti.

SSIDs are used when referring to post-earthquake spontaneous settlement
sites. SSIDs refer to single geographic coordinates while P-Codes refer to
larger geographic areas (also called administrative units).

Haiti has ten geographical departments, so single digit means one in particular.
e.g. SE is 2
Cities towns etc. start with the digit of the ten departments, whichever one it is.
e.g. Jacmel is 211
Communities and neighborhoods within larger metropolises have added digits.
e.g. 6ème Montagne La Voute = 211-06
As the system drills down to more and more local, additional digits are added at the end.

P-Codes and SSIDs are delivered in Microsoft Excel-format, ESRI shapefile
format, Google Earth format, and can by request be delivered in other
formats. P-Codes lists and their associated boundary files are available
from the One Response site at:
http://oneresponse.info/Disasters/Haiti/MapCenter/Pages/GIS.aspx.

The custodian for the Haiti SSID data is the CCCM Cluster:

Latest WASH (Water Sanitation Hygiene) report is in French.
I did not download. Others may be interested. A lot of data in here.

I am regularly snooping in the PDNA related sites to see if there is any progress yet on theInterim Haiti Recovery Commission, defined March 31 at Donor's Conference, approved end this week by Haiti Parliament.

Here is a collection of links to explore, to see if any of them have any new stuff since the last time I was there, and if any have combination of RSS availability and sufficient activity to justify bookmarking.
