Emergency Preparedness / Management: Haiti lies in the middle of the hurricane belt. According to the United States Central Intelligence Agency, Haiti is “subject to severe storms from June to October; occasional flooding and earthquakes; periodic droughts in the country, extensive deforestation (much of the remaining forested land is being cleared for agriculture and used as fuel); soil erosion; inadequate supplies of potable water.” (CIA, www.cia.gov, 2007)
