Abstract :
An earthquake with a presumed magnitude of 7.0 occurred on January 12, 2010 in Port au Prince/Haiti. The disaster area has been extracted using an overlay technique of multi spectral data from the ALOS satellite and the maximum likelihood classification technique to compare images before the earthquake strike and after it struck. In addition, the situation of reconstruction was interpreted by using the images taken immediately after and six months after the quake in detail.
