In Haiti, recurrent floods and landslides associated with the hurricane and rainy seasons, and unpredictable events—such as the January 2010 earthquake and the cholera outbreak that began in October 2010—require USAID to focus both on providing immediate response to affected populations and on supporting disaster risk reduction programs that promote local and national self-sufficiency in disaster preparedness and management.

Why Our Work Matters…

Every year, droughts, floods, hurricanes, and other natural disasters affect millions of people around the world, and millions of other people are in need of emergency food aid.  USAID focuses on crisis prevention, response, recovery and transition to strengthen resilience, mitigate the impact of disasters, and save lives.

Illustrative results in 2013

906 durable, serviced houses constructed for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and other vulnerable households
One of the major impacts of the 2010 earthquake was the significant loss of housing stock. Preparing new settlements using international standards for house construction alleviates the housing needs of some of the affected.
533 plots prepared for additional home construction
Preparing plots for partners to build houses on is an approach USAID employs to tap into the house construction resources of other donors and NGOs. By entering into such partnerships, a greater number of houses can be built.
383 people trained in disaster preparedness

Most lives are saved by local responders and neighbors in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Simple preparedness measures can save many lives in earthquakes, floods, and food insecurity. Training local communities and responders on preparedness has a high benefit cost ratio in both lives saved and money spent.
