Haiti is extremely vulnerable to hurricanes as a result of the country’s economic condition, poor infrastructure, and deteriorating environmental landscape. Considering the many complications that exacerbate natural disasters’ adverse effect on Haiti, the group created an emergency response plan which provides a proactive approach to disaster management in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
The plan identifies key authorities and organizations involved in disaster response efforts and outlines methods for effective communication during an emergency. It also includes a Threats and Hazards Assessment Table, drills and excercises for hurricane preparedness, as well as resources for short-term recovery in impacted regions.
