Week 4 - Haiti Partcipation Post

This map shows possible road closures because of debris.

This map shows all of the makeshift tent cities that arose after the earthquake.

This map shows major building damage.


This map shows the faultline, the population density and some of the major buildings that were damaged.


I found these 4 maps on the New York Times Website. I found them fascinating! Although you can't see them on the pictures I posted, they did have legends and explanations on the website. I thought these were very informative and great at showing the damage that was done, the aftermath and the difficulties that rescue workers were having because of the closed roads. Here's the link to it, just in case you want to see the site with all of the legends.
