In the wake of the January 12th, 2010 earthquake in Haiti a free phone number (4636) was established to meet the urgent needs of the Haitian people through SMS messaging. People on the ground can now text their requests for medical care, food, water, and shelter from any Digicel / Comcel-Voila device and receive aid.
Through the “Mission 4636” service, the SMS request data is collected and accessed by thousands of volunteers (that’s you!). Volunteers enter English translations of Creole and French messages into our unique online form which sorts the information by need and priority, and distributes it to various NGOs including Ushahidi Inc., International Red Cross, Person Finder, InSTEDD, & the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Do you speak Creole? Go to samasource.org/haiti/ to volunteer.
Please spread this video widely to help us locate Creole-speaking volunteers!
What the hell
I don't know what to do.
So far, no reports on the damages this has caused.
No reports from our CNN teams of any major damage from the latest 6.1 aftershock in Haiti but very scary for the people of Port-au-Princeabout 2 hours ago via web
Most NGO and news staff has reported to be ok:
7:30 a.m. — Wednesday morning’s aftershock sent patients at a hospital near Haiti’s airport in Port-au-Prince into loud prayers for forgiveness and protection, a nurse said.
6:03 a.m. — A strong magnitude 6.1 aftershock struck Haiti. Its epicenter was 36 miles west-southwest of Port-au-Prince, the United States Geological Survey said.
conneally Aftershock of 6.1 being report in Haiti ¦ must admit it didn’t feel so strong but did last a few seconds longer than is comfortable …

:::: lulzy side note
I came across the facebook group that sold this and got a much needed laugh. No, really, this happens.
Oh and 50% of their proceeds go to Yele Haiti
"What in the world is a Haitian suppose to look like. Rock this Tee and see the kind of looks you'll get."
We need to move faster than ever now. People are dying of other causes. Ridiculously preventable causes like dehydration. I know we’re all doing what we can but I can’t accept that. So I urge you, continue to forward any information you recieve as far as wide as you possibly can.
Some of us understand/speak creole and/or french. (Or even just know someone who can) We are an invaluable resource to the ushahidi team right now. Please help them translate the help messages they receive. This is the closest thing the Haitians have to dialing 911 right now.
Some people have been posting the locations of persons in need of help right now with the #haiti tag. Help me email their crucial, time-sensitive information to haiti@ushahidi.com. Their team has stated that this method is also used to report incidents on the ground.
Those of you in Haiti reading the UNION HAITI twitter, Carel Pedre’s and mine, please text their needs, names and locations to 4636 if you have a Digicel phone, or email them to haiti@ushahidi.com, the ones on the ground might be too panicked to do it. Thanks for all your help

It’s 3 am on January 16th. According to the rescue workers, we close to a cut off time for search and rescue. There are many reports of people still alive underneath the rubbles. @UNION HAITI is doing their best to forward these reports as far and wide as twitter, facebook, and unionhaiti.org can spread them. We are following @Carel Pedre on twitter, he is still tirelessly relaying this info.
There’s only so many of us and time is running out.
I’ve compiled a list of people posting from haiti http://is.gd/6uVQ8 and cnn has those on the ground http://is.gd/6uVU7
The ushahidi crisis team is receving texts from people in need of help but they need people translating these texts http://is.gd/6uYyk .
We need you to post this info around, read #rescuemehaiti, read the posts people are still making on all the earthquake facebook groups, use the missing persons tools http://is.gd/6uWA7 , email jessica fievre (To get a rescue team on a site email JESSFIEVRE@HOTMAIL.COM.Be as precise as you can and give street directions. send a telephone number, so we can find the place easily, and also confirm the last contact”) call signal fm http://is.gd/6uWF2; it is now free to call in haiti through 1-800-809-2503 (wait for the message, dial 011 509 and the number), free to call in haiti from france, http://is.gd/6uXS6 , so please let people know who is still where.
Please trust that there is nothing I want more than to let you all sleep or watch a movie or just tune out for the day, but we just can’t have so many staying alive for so long only to find no help. Please do what you can. Kenbe red, nou se yon pèp vanyan, pa gen tan pou moun dekouraje la.

i am still learning that the differences between what i did and don't deserve, what i could have not seen coming and it's only morning still.
