The Office of the U.S. Secretary of State has announced a Person Finder tool available on their website at www.state.gov/haitiquake/ .  The tool was developed by the U.S. State Department, several NGO's (non-government organizations) and technical advisors.

I recommend that you instruct your receptionist(s) or employee(s) who answer the phone at your Corps or Service Center to be aware of this information and give it out to people who inquire about ways to contact loved ones in Haiti.

The U.S. State Department site lists the following resources:
