An amazing effort! If I may humbly suggest- don’t stop with Port au Prince, why not continue on and finish the entire country? With the main city done you are well on your way towards this goal(!) and in this time window you probably can call up the people-power to do it. Also a lot of aid is getting diverted to Santa Domingo airport in the Dominican Republic and getting trucked across from there. Might I suggest to spend some time working on the major supply routes in to and out of the D.Rep. and to/from airports there?
The big outfits will have their own maps I guess, but the ad-hoc groups and logistics-not-going-perfectly among the big outfits could use surely it.

The nice thing about this work is that it will have benefits for the country long after the country gets back on its feet.

I hope this kind of response becomes a bit of a formal OSM tradition.

regards,
Hamish
