Lex Berman and the Harvard GIS crew are up and dropping out products at http://cegrp.cga.harvard.edu/content/haiti-earthquake-data
Understand my connections may be running slow - am talking to Harvard as they may be able to mirror and help speed things up a bit. Will post url in new thread if we're able to get that done.
Some cemetary data and paths to them available from openstreetmap.org We have sucked those data and have them zipped in the GIS data folder at http://misssissippi.deltastate.edu/data/haiti
5,000-m MGRS data now posted for zone 18Q. We will turn and burn on 1:25,000 image-atlas product tomorrow after imagery is posted as advertised.
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN DATA OR MAP PRODUCTS DIRECTLY FROM OUR SERVER. Kindly download the data and maps and put them to use locally or you'll bomb out my whimpy server.
MGRS 1,000-m data for all of Haiti, MGRS 100-m for Port-au-Prince, and a hasty 1:50,000 Port-au-Prince vicinity base map in geopdf format now posted to http://mississippi.deltastate.edu/data/Haiti/
Sorry - slow to using this site - am coming up to speed now. DSU GIS Center has staff and assets to help with on- and off- site requests (team of 9 on hand, more on call, ESRI platform base, coding capable). Are up and running now making USNG/MGRS d…
FYI - Brenda is on vacation - I'm not sure who's stepping into that role with Craig Skalet retired now. Best POC within USGS would be Steve Hammond to find out who is assisting in that regard - I will try to contact him in the morning.
The Center for Interdisciplinary Geospatial Information Technologies at Delta State University was asked by FEMA IMAT to create USNG/MGRS polygons for Haiti. Our first run will be 1,000-m polygons for the entire country followed by 100-m polygons fo…
