M 7.0 Earthquake in Haiti
EERI has been monitoring the situation in Haiti closely and has an extensive list of persons interested in EERI reconnaissance.  At this time EERI believes that travel there is unreliable and the health and security issues are too extreme for our members to participate in reconnaissance.  
 
EERI will continue to monitor conditions and plans to send a team as soon as practical.  This could be 2-4 weeks from now.  We are also coordinating our efforts with many other organizations that will be sending reconnaissance teams.

We have made several contacts with persons who may go for purposes other than formal reconnaissance and are asking them for condition reports to assist us in planning our mission. We are beginning to collect information and post it up on our virtual clearinghouse at http://www.eqclearinghouse.org/20100112-haiti/.
