Actually…. the stuff Google currently has up is their own imagery that they flew (somewhere along the line they bought an aerial imaging company). I’m currently down in Haiti flying the RIT sensor Glen mentioned – we’re uploading our data to Google and they should be posting the rough stuff relatively soon. Our visible images are at about 15 cm nominally (we captured a cloud free scene, and the details are pretty sharp… but it took 3 days worth of flying to capture it flying at 2600ft AGL) … and we’re also gathering Short/Mid/Long wave infrared along with a pretty high resolution topography with a Leica ALS-60 LIDAR. You can see what we’ve done so far going here: http://ipler.cis.rit.edu/projects/haiti (follow the telesciences link to get a first-cut mosaic at full resolution) We’ll continuously update that site with all the latest things as they are processed and refined

This looks like the centre of aid operations at the airport:

Also I’ve been browsing around the new imagery, and those makeshift campes are everywhere. Every available open space has become home to displaced people
