Latest FCO Haiti advice

Security : 08/02/2010

The FCO currently advises against all but essential travel to Haiti. An earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale hit Haiti on 12 January 2010 causing major casualties and extensive damage to infrastructure, including buildings in the Port au Prince area. British nationals in Haiti are requested to contact the British Embassy in Santo Domingo on telephone number 001 809 472 7111 or by email at: brit.emb.sadom@codetel.net.do to confirm their wellbeing. If you are a worried relative in the UK, you should contact the Foreign Office on 020 7008 1500. You should monitor local and international media reports and follow advice of international agencies and governments.

British Nationals in Haiti who require consular assistance should contact our Honorary Consul, Florence Boucard on 509 3744 6371, 337 Route de Dalmas or the British Embassy in Santo Domingo on 0018294727111. If they want assistance in leaving Haiti they should make their way to the Canadian Embassy at Delmas between Delmas 75 and 71.
