Friends and relatives in Canada seeking information on Canadian citizens believed to be in Haiti should contact DFAIT’s Emergency Operations Centre in Ottawa by calling 1 800 387-3124, or for those in Ottawa (613) 943-1055, or by sending an email to sos@international.gc.ca.

Canadian citizens in Haiti requiring emergency consular assistance should contact the Canadian Embassy in Port-au-Prince at +509-2-249-9000, or call DFAIT’s Emergency Operations Centre collect at 613-996-8885. An email can also be sent to sos@international.gc.ca.

We appreciate the offers by the Canadian public to assist those in Haiti affected by the earthquake. The best way for Canadians to help is to donate money - not clothing or food - to experienced humanitarian organizations. 

Canadians are invited to consult the DFAIT web site at: http://www.international.gc.ca/humanitarian-humanitaire/earthquake_seisme_haiti.aspx  for a list of such organizations as well as information on how the Government of Canada responds to natural disasters abroad, and for further details on how Canadians and Canadian companies can help.
