Haiti Assistance

The earthquake that hit Haiti on January 12, 2010 has had devastating effects for the country that is already the poorest nation in our hemisphere.


For information on how you can help the U.S. State Department is directing citizens to the Center for International Disaster Information.

Help for U.S. citizens living in Haiti is available at the homepage of the U.S. Embassy in Haiti.

If you are inquiring about a loved one in Haiti, email the U.S. State Department at Haiti-Earthquake@State.Gov and include 
  • The full name, Date of birth, and passport information (if known) of the persons in Haiti you are trying to contact.  
  • Their contact information in Haiti; telephone numbers, email address, hotel name or address (if known).  
  • Your name and contact information, and your relationship to the person in Haiti (parent, spouse, friend, etc.).  
  • Any special or emergency circumstances.  

The State Department's task force will work with Embassy staff in Haiti to locate and, if needed, provide assistance.  The State Department will respond to each message as soon as possible.  If you hear from the person you were concerned about, please send a new email to Haiti-Earthquake@State.gov providing the new information about their location or condition.
