Hubs set up to help people find family in haiti

Miami-Dade County, the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince have set up information hubs to assist people trying to ascertain the fate of relatives or friends in Haiti.

Miami-Dade established a communications hub for the Haitian-American community at the Edison Little River Neighborhood Center, 150 NW 79th St.

The hub will provide information on relief efforts, including donations, and developments on the island. Translators and Creole-speaking social workers will be at hand to provide counseling services for friends and family members of victims.

The center will operate daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., though hours may be extended if necessary.

The U.S. Embassy, meanwhile, has set up a task force in Port-au-Prince that is taking calls ``as conditions permit.''

The embassy is working to identify Americans in Haiti who need urgent assistance and to identify sources of emergency help.

Americans are urged to contact the embassy via e-mail at ACSPaP@state.gov to request assistance.

Americans in Haiti can call the Embassy's Consular Task Force at 509-2229-8942, 509-2229-8089, 509-2229-8322, or 509-2229-8672.

The State Department has also created a task force to monitor the emergency.

People in the U.S. or Canada with information or inquiries about U.S. citizens in Haiti may reach the Haiti Task Force at 888-407-4747. Outside of the U.S. and Canada, call 202-501-4444.
