2010 Haiti Earthquake

HOW TO HELP

 

On January 12, 2010, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck near the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince. Disaster response efforts are underway, and the total effects of the quake are as-yet unknown. Microsoft has activated its Disaster Response Team to monitor the situation in Haiti and support response efforts as appropriate. Through Microsoft’s support, nonprofit partner NetHope has been able to set up an immediate response, with specific focus on establishing temporary telecommunications infrastructure to allow humanitarian agencies to communicate and provide relief to the affected victims.
