Help Haiti

Copying help request of Jessica Pfund, Google GIS Specialist:

Hello fellow mappers,

Yesterday, a large 7.0 earthquake struck Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
Several thousands of people may have died, and relief efforts are now
in full action. We have shared Map Maker data for Haiti with the
United Nations in its raw form and continue to make Map Maker data
immediately available through the Google Maps API and this Mapplet.

If you have any local knowledge of Haiti, please help us in improving
the maps of this region. It will assist relief workers in saving
lives. For more information on the earthquake, resources and ways to
donate, see: http://www.google.com/relief/haitiearthquake/

Here is a link to Haiti in Map Maker. I have also translated this post into Belarusian.
