Description
Every emergency is an opportunity for epidemics. In the past decade, Haiti has suffered through at least six major hurricanes and floods, and dozens more storms. The 2010 earthquake killed a quarter of civil servants and destroyed more than half the schools and administrative buildings in Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas. Building Haiti’s resilience against crises will help prevent loss of lives, reduce risks and damage from disasters and allow Haiti to quickly return to a stable state.
