Natural Disasters

In an already weak electricity infrastructure in Haiti, a tree knocks out light pole during heavy rains.

Heavy rains in Haiti can lead to a cascade of issues due to the country's vulnerability to natural disasters and insufficient infrastructure.

The combination of deforestation, poor drainage systems, and weak construction can exacerbate the impact of rain. Trees can fall on structures like light poles, causing power outages and hazards. Eroded soil from hillsides can trigger landslides and flooding, damaging homes and displacing communities.

Haiti's susceptibility to heavy rains highlights the urgent need for comprehensive disaster preparedness, environmental conservation, and infrastructure improvement to safeguard its population.
