Haiti Earthquake Resources

January 14, 2010

My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Haiti who are suffering so much as a result of the recent earthquake. The devastation is stunning and the loss of life is heartbreaking. Many are wondering what they can do to help. Others are anxiously waiting to hear from loved ones in Haiti.

If you need information about loved ones, the State Department has established a hotline: 1-888-407-4747. Anyone seeking information about U.S. citizens in Haiti can also e-mail the State Department at Haiti-Earthquake@state.gov. Those seeking updated travel alert and situation information may use the following link: http://www.travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1134.html
