The U.S. State Department
Operations Center said Americans seeking information about family members in Haiti should call 1-888-407-4747. Due to heavy volume, some callers may receive a recording. “Our embassy is still in the early stages of contacting American citizens through our Warden Network,” the U.S. State Department said in a statement. “Communications are very difficult within Haiti at this time.”
For those interesting in helping immediately, simply text “HAITI” to “90999″ and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts, charged to your cell phone bill. (More information)

I have found a building system that can be used as permanent housing that is earthquake and wind resistant fire retarded and resistance to mold and mildew make it an ideal building for housing schools churches and workshops
these go up quickly are insulated lighted with solar lights and are very cheap to build
