Haiti
The Civil Protection Directorate (CPD) in Haiti has reported that all disaster management committees have been mobilized. The National Emergency Operations Centre has been relocated to the Palace.

Every effort is being made by the CPD to inform citizens, particularly those near the seaside, of the approaching storm and the urgency to seek safer shelter. Camp dwellers have been advised to leave and seek refuge with family and friends. President Preval and CPD’s Director Madame Alta Jean Baptiste also met with the various committees and visited some districts to emphasize the severity of the situation.

Tent dwellers have started to evacuate but most are reluctant to leave, however mandatory evacuation will be initiated as the storm advances.
CPD has also held discussions with UN Agencies and NGOs to identify accessible supplies in storage.

Evidently, Haiti’s reconstruction will be ongoing for many years to come. It is, however, the commitment of CDEMA to stand in partnership with the Haitian people and other agencies to support the formation of an even more resilient state, where the catastrophic loss of life and property on the scale experienced earlier this year is significantly reduced.
