Looks great Matt. I’m trying to view the administrative sections layer. This folder (and all the folders in the General Maps folder) don’t display for me. These folders appear with a green or red dot on them. I wonder what that means, and if it’s related to the problem I’m having.

Hmmm….not sure why it’s not working. I just tried it and it works fine for me. The green dots are good. If it has a red dot it’s not finding the data. That usually indicates an issue either on my server or maybe your internet connection is too slow. Try right clicking on the map with red dot and click “Refresh” to see if that finds it.

Hi there!

I am working on a project where I want to make an Information Visualization of the country Haiti, how it got affected by the earthquake. What I want to show on the plot is that how many civilians got killed in the earthquake per region area, how many got injured in the earthquake per region area and so on. With region I mean the every communes that the country Haiti is divided in which consists of 133 communes like Arcahaie, Ouanaminthe, Trod du Nord and so on. On this website I found the graphical image of the country with its division of the communes which is saved in shapefiles. But now I need to find statistical data on the death/injury toll per region area in Haiti and I haven’t managed to find that particular information in well known databases like Worldbank, WHO, Eclac, OECD, ICRC and IDB. All information I can find about the earthquake is how many got killed in total and where the most was killed, that is in the city Port-Au-Prince. So I am wondering I you know where exactly I can find this type of statistical data and which is preferrable saved in a spreadsheet data?

If you are not sure what I mean with Information Visualization you can check these two links

Great resources! I’m flying out Wednesday morning on an assessment team with a humanitarian group and this will be great to have loaded up into my laptop and gps.

It might be a late question but could you indicate us the originator source of the 50k topo maps ?
Thanks in advance.

I’m not 100% sure, but I think they are from https://gist.itos.uga.edu/

For the first few days after EQ, I was just trying to get info out the door and didn’t do such a great job of keeping track of where everything came from.

Hi,

in GMOSAIC projecy (EC funded) we produced lots of damage assessment and trafficability maps (and vectors – shp and KML) over Leogane, PaP and Jacmel.

Please refer to http://spatial.telespazio.it/gmosaic_haiti

feel free to redistribute da and maps quoting “GMOSAIC EC FP7 Project”

Hi, thanks for posting the 50K TLM maps of Haiti. Question: Do you have the map sheets that border Dominican
Sorry….I think we’re all probably getting them from the same source, which is missing a few. Maybe someone else knows?

@TracyPaul
Tracy Paul and others,
Regarding the MapMaker process, if you watch a few of the videos it will be really clear. Quite simple. One note is that when I last checked, the vectors of Port au Prince are (temporarily) misregistered with the imagery. My advice is to find somewhere else in the country (e.g. to the south and west) and do your digitizing there. It’s much more satisfying and easier to understand when the vectors are perfectly aligned with the images. Good luck!
