Urgency Architects Foundation will issue an initial diagnosis of the situation in Haiti

Since 2001, the Foundation of the Urgency Architects (Fondation des Architectes de l’Urgence in French), consisting of architects, engineers and planners, use their professional values with the goal of providing appropriate assistance and durable solutions to all victims of natural, technological or human, without distinction of nationality, gender or religion.

The President of the Foundation of the Urgency Architects, Patrick Coulombel, just flew over some disaster areas in Haiti. Found that whole barracks collapsed, as in Petionville, taking the homes below. Thousands of constructions are crushed into the ground. They fear for many victims in this area.

Coulombel and Serge Gunot Patrick, who is also an architect of urgency, they could proceed with the commissioning of security the French Embassy. The embassy is very upset but recoverable says the two specialists. However, the ambassador’s residence is destroyed and permanently unusable.

Urgency Architects is currently seeking to establish a diagnosis in French school and other administrative buildings, as well as in the town of Carrefour, an area next to Puerto Principe which was also badly affected.

Patrick Coulombel confirms that people are clustered in the building spaces for fear of aftershocks would trigger new landslides.
Without tents, they make shift shelters with plastic recovered.

In Port au Prince, we need everything to enormous proportions, emphasizes, especially water, and at the same time the routing of urgency assistance is very small, very difficult. Port au Prince Airport is completely saturated. However, the road between Santo Domingo and Port au Prince is deserted.

In a country where there is extreme poverty, the urgency phase will be long and difficult.

We call upon your generosity to urgency aid of 300,000 Euros for immediate relief to the thousands of victims.

We need you to help them
You can make a donation to the foundation to help the populations affected, either online http://www.archi-urgent.com or sending a check to our postal address:
