This map illustrates an updated satellite-based analysis of probable landside-affected areas as identified in post-disaster SPOT-5 imagery recorded 10 March 2010 and pre-disaster Spot-5 imagery from 20 February 2007. Main buildings likely affected by landslides were identified through automatic detection techniques from the pre-crisis SPOT-5 imagery. Please note there is an associated degree of uncertainly for some areas of landslides because of local cloud cover and the building count is likely to be an underestimate from the total number of affected buildings in this area.

This map presents an interpolated building damage intensity surface as assessed from both satellite and aerial survey imagery covering Delmas Commune, Haiti. Damaged buildings were classified according to visually-assessed damage levels according to the EMS-98 classification system. This work is done at the request of UNDP, and in support of the UN-led efforts in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake. Swisstopo and the Remote Sensing Laboratories (RSL) at the University of Zurich provided extensive pre-crisis building data in direct technical support of this UN damage analysis.
