Here is a picture of several Homes in Cap-Haitian invaded with Water as a result of the flood

Cap-Haitien, which seems to have borne the brunt of the storms, completed a drainage basin project to protect the town and residents against severe storm activity that in the past has resulted in extreme land degradation.

The project:

• Rehabilitated ravines with wattling and bamboo barriers
• Safeguarded riverbanks with rock barriers
• Reforested with fruit tree saplings
• Gave local governments jurisdiction over drainage basins

An assessment of how the drainage basin project fared during the recent storms has yet to be completed, but it may reveal whatever flaws in the system need to be corrected for better protection against the next storm system.
