Following the recent rain in last February, at least six people died in the town of Borgne, and thousands of people were affected in Cap-Haitien in the north. In the Northern coast, the heavy and prolonged rain occurred between 9 to 11 February 2016. The cities like Port-de-Paix and Cap-Haïtien, were severely affected, over 200 homes were damaged forcing families to leave their home. There was prior red alert (highest level) from the Civil Defence about the heavy rain in North Haiti which could cause flooding and landslide. Following the instructions of then Prime Minister Evans Paul, the North Emergency Centre (CUN) has distributed food, mattresses, sheets and hygienic kits to the victims.
