Haiti Earthquake
A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Tuesday near Port-Au-Prince in Haiti, affecting as many as 3 million people. ASTHO's thoughts and prayers are with those touched by this catastrophe.

Aid organizations such as the American Red Cross, Save the Children, and Partners in Health have set up emergency relief sites to provide urgently needed medical attention, food, safe drinking water, shelter and other necessities for tens of thousands of people. Your support can help meet the most critical needs of those affected by the earthquake.
