Friday December 27, 2024, the Town Hall of Port-de-Paix announced a series of important measures to respond to the consequences of the devastating floods of December 22 and 23, 2024 which caused significant material damage and deeply affected the community https:/ /www.icihaiti.com/article-43931-icihaiti-port-de-paix-etat-d-urgence-environnemental-declare.html
Faced with this critical situation, the Town Hall has decided to strengthen its sanitation team to accelerate cleaning, clearance and rehabilitation work in the most affected areas. This initiative aims to restore healthy and safe living conditions for all residents.
Priority actions:
– Cleaning and clearing blocked gullies and canals to reduce the risk of further flooding;
– Collection and management of waste accumulated in affected neighborhoods;
– Assessment and prevention to prevent such disasters from recurring.
However, it is important to emphasize that, until now, the Port-de-Paix Town Hall has not yet received the aid promised by the State, which complicates response efforts. Despite this lack of support, the Municipality continues its commitment to the population and continues to mobilize its limited resources to manage the situation.
The Town Hall invites the entire population to collaborate with the teams on the ground and to respect the instructions to facilitate the work in progress. She also calls on local partners, humanitarian organizations and people of goodwill to join their efforts to support the municipality in this difficult period.
