The State department has forwarded to the US embassy.

Also, Yves Pierre, a Haitian from Toulouse has forwarded ' au réseau de l'"association des hommes et des liens" à Port-au-Prince '
(to the network of "association men and links" in Port-au-Prince).

According to my World clock, the sun should soon rise in Haiti.

Could anyone explain where the "Guibert" closest to Kenscoff (that I also put on ose.petschge.de) comes from in OSM map ? I can't find an object corresponding to it, nor its source.

Regards,

Jean-Guilhem

Jean-Guilhem.

 

Thank you for the information that you provided.  I have forward your email to the embassy.

 

Rescue efforts remain underway in Haiti. The Embassy is working to locate and ascertain the welfare of U.S. citizens as quickly as possible; however, communications remain extremely difficult. For further general information, please see the State Department’s Consular Affairs website at www.travel.state.gov

If you mean the one returned in the namefinder in the Geonames
section, it isn't in OSM, but is in Geonames.
http://www.geonames.org/3724061/guibert.html

The Haiti 1:50k maps surround that point by Obléon, Grand Place and
Carrefour Beraque and I think Grand Place is the one most likely to
refer to Guibert, though of the three is the only one of those three
not currently added from the 1:50k maps (Haiti-tlm-50)

Perhaps someone else can say whether we can add geonames.org place
details (CC-BY) to OSM?

geonames.org is not necessarily a good source of data. Most points come from the US government in the first place: http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/index.html . I thought it was previously evaluated as not good enough for OSM.
