HEAVY MACHINERY NEEDED IN PETIONVILLE: My brother-in-law's wife Emily Sanson-Rejouis (UN Human Resources) survived the earthquake because her UN office was a shipping container and made her way back to their hotel. The hotel has collapsed and the family are trapped (my brother-in-law Emmanual and their three little girls Kofie-Jade, Zenzie, Alyahna). She can hear at least one of their voices (the youngest 2 yr old Alyahnna's) and needs urgent assistance to rescue them. They are buried in the rubble but there might be a small air pocket. Emily said it is chaos on the ground, there is no machinery, and she has asked us to get any assistance possible to her. The address of the hotel is:

Karibe Hotel, Juvenat 7 Petion-Ville, HAITI (near Union School)
A map to the location of the hotel is here: http://www.karibehotel.com/karibehotel/location.asp
