(Cross-posted on the
Google.org blog
)
These recent satellite images of Port-au-Prince, Haiti before and after Tuesday's earthquake dramatically show the devastation caused by magnitude 7.0 trembler. Here are before-and-after screenshots of the National Palace and an area of Port-au-Prince:

In order to help the people of Haiti respond to this catastrophe, Google is donating $1 million to organizations on the ground that are rescuing those still trapped and providing clean water, food, medical care, shelter and support to those affected. We'd like to make it easy for anyone moved by the tragedy to respond as well, so we've included a link on our homepage to
information, resources and ways you can help
, including information on how to donate to organizations including:
Direct Relief
,
Yele Haiti
,
Partners in Health
,
Red Cross
,
World Food Program
,
Mercy Corps
,
Save the Children
,
Lambi Fund
,
Doctors Without Borders
,
The International Rescue Committee
.
You can also use the below buttons to donate to
UNICEF
or
CARE
.

In addition, Map Maker data has been made available to U.N. organizations and the team is working with the
Map Your World Community
to encourage Map Maker users with on the ground knowledge to
help update the map of Haiti
with disaster response data. We've received requests from relief organizations and our users to publish recent satellite imagery of the country. One of our imagery partners, GeoEye, has provided us with
post-earthquake imagery
from Haiti. You can check our
Lat Long blog
for further updates.
We've also reached out to the YouTube community for help. A Spotlight on the
homepage
drives traffic to
videos
from
Oxfam
and the
American Red Cross
, where you can make donations to relief efforts. We're also keeping a running playlist of the video footage coming out of Haiti on
Citizentube
; you can find a broad collection of citizen reports, news wire clips and
personal stories
of some of the victims.
