Haiti's tragic hurricane history
Posted by: Dr. Jeff Masters, 3:15 PM GMT on January 15, 2010 +2
The catastrophic earthquake of 2010 is only the latest--and worst--natural disaster to devastate the nation of Haiti. Up until the quake, the hurricane season of 2008 was the cruelest natural disaster ever experienced in Haiti. Four storms--Fay, Gustav, Hanna, and Ike--dumped heavy rains on the impoverished nation. The rugged hillsides, stripped bare of 98% of their forest cover thanks to deforestation, let flood waters rampage into large areas of the country. Particularly hard-hit was Gonaives, the fourth largest city. According to reliefweb.org, Haiti suffered 793 killed, with 310 missing and another 593 injured. The hurricanes destroyed 22,702 homes and damaged another 84,625. About 800,000 people were affected--8% of Haiti's total population. The flood wiped out 70% of Haiti's crops, resulting in dozens of deaths of children due to malnutrition in the months following the storms. Damage was estimated at over $1 billion, the costliest natural disaster in Haitian history. The damage amounted to over 5% of the country's $17 billion GDP, a staggering blow for a nation so poor.

The year 2008 was only one of many years hurricane have brought untold misery to Haiti. Hurricane Jeanne of 2004 passed just north of the country as a tropical storm, dumping 13 inches of rains on the nation's northern mountains. The resulting floods killed over 3,000 people, mostly in the town of Gonaives. Jeanne ranks as the 12th deadliest hurricane of all time on the list of the 30 most deadly Atlantic hurricanes . Unfortunately for Haiti, its name appears several times on this list. Hurricane Flora killed over 8,000 people in 1963, making it the 6th most deadly hurricane ever. An unnamed 1935 storm killed over 2,000, and Hurricane Hazel killed over 1,000 in 1954. More recently, Hurricane Gordon killed over 1,000 Haitians in 1994, and in 1998, Hurricane Georges killed over 400 while destroying 80% of all the crops in the country.

Why does Haiti suffer a seemingly disproportionate number of natural disasters? The answer in that in large part, these are not natural disasters--they are human-caused disasters. Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. With oil too expensive for the impoverished nation, charcoal from burnt trees has provided 85% or more of the energy in Haiti for decades. As a result, Haiti's 9 million poor have relentlessly hunted and chopped down huge amounts of forest, leaving denuded mountain slopes that rainwater washes down unimpeded. Back in 1980, Haiti still had 25% of its forests, allowing the nation to withstand heavy rain events like 1987's Category 3 Hurricane Emily, without loss of life. But as of 2004, only 1.4% of Haiti's forests remained. Jeanne and Gordon were not even hurricanes--merely strong tropical storms--when they stuck Haiti, but the almost total lack of tree cover contributed to the devastating floods that killed thousands. And it doesn't even take a tropical storm to devastate Haiti--in May of 2004, three days of heavy rains from a tropical disturbance dumped more than 18 inches of rain in the mountains, triggering floods that killed over 2,600 people.

What can be done to reduce these human-worsened natural disasters? Education and poverty eradication are critical to improving things. In addition, reforestation efforts and promotion of alternative fuels are needed. In the past two decades, the U.S. Agency for International Development has planted some 60 million trees, while an estimated 10 to 20 million of these are cut down each year, according to the USAID director in Haiti, David Adams. If you're looking for a promising way to make a charitable donation to help Haitian flood victims, considering sending a check to the Lambi Fund of Haiti, which is very active in promoting reforestation efforts, use of alternative fuels, and infrastructure improvements at a grass-roots level to help avert future flood disasters.

Portlight delivers much-needed water filtration systems and medical supplies to Haiti
Portlight.org, the disaster-relief charity that has sprung up from the hard work and dedication of many members of the wunderground.com community, has successfully shipped medical equipment and a water filtration unit capable of supplying the needs of 3,800 people per day to the Dominican Republic, where it will be trucked to Haiti via road. Portlight is working through the local Catholic Church, which is probably best positioned to deliver private aid donations to those in need. Paul Timmons, leader of the Portlight relief efforts, wrote this to me today:

This is important:
We are now accepting donations of medical equipment and clinical supplies...

Please forward this info as far and wide as you can. Any groups collecting or with access to this kind of stuff can ship it to our Atlanta warehouse:

Portlight Strategies, Inc.
4900 Lewis Road
Stone Mountain, GA 30083

We have good contacts on Hispaniola who are able to get this stuff where it's needed.

We are also still in need of funds!


So, please visit the Portlight.org blog to learn more and to donate. Floodman's blog has the latest info on Portlight's plan for Haitian relief. If you're interested in sponsoring an Honor Walk to help raise funds for the Haitians, please contact Paul Timmons of Portlight, via the Portlight.org blog. Portlight's Haitian relief efforts got a nice write-up in the Odessa American Online, a Texas newspaper, yesterday. Also, last night, Portlight booster Ron "Floodman" Myers was on the Barometer Bob Internet radio show.

For those of you more interested in helping out with the long-term rebuilding of Haiti's shattered infrastructure from the quake, I recommend a contribution to Lambi Fund of Haiti, a charity that is very active in promoting reforestation efforts, use of alternative fuels, and infrastructure improvements at a grass-roots level in Haiti. I've developed a great respect for the work they do in the country in the five years I've been a supporter.

I'll have a new post on Monday, when I'll be blogging from the 90th Annual Meeting of the American Meteorological Society, in Atlanta, Georgia.

Heading to haiti (Fotoguy77)
LA County Fire Department search and rescue dogs and their firefighter handlers pose for one last picture at the LA County FD warehouse facility in Pacoima, Ca before boarding buses for the trip to March Air Force Base and then on to Haiti to help in the rescue of hundreds still trapped. The dogs are specially trained to locate victims buried in rubble. They are part of the LA County Task Force 2, Urban Search and Rescue Team who, along with counterparts in Fairfax, Va, are the first called to respond to any disaster worldwide.

Thanks to everyone here who has been helping out with Portlight; you guys know who you are...a special thanks to KitchenGypsy, who is really a star when it comes to this sort of thing!

Again, it doesn't matter what charity you contribute to, we can each make a difference. The people of Haiti need medical supplies and attention, food and water...many of you want to help by donating clothing, but at this time, donations of clothing aren't what's needed. Any donation of money, no matter how small, will help; if you can't donate money and you still want ot help, contact me and we'll find something you can help with. No effort is wasted folks, you can help!

So I am currently working on getting a donation booth to set up in the Union at Purdue to collect donations for Portlight. I am going to print some flyers to place on bulletin boards as well. Also, I know this will not help in the short term, but I am also currently working on setting up some type of philanthropy for Portlight, sponsored by my fraternity. Hopefully we can raise a lot of money and collect some more items for me to deliver to Portlight in a few weeks.

Keep up the good work everyone! It is encouraging to be surrounded by so many kind and giving individuals (:


Also, feel free to stop by my blog to offer any advice, ideas, etc. thanks!

The Coast Guard, as always, is awesome in the work that they do; they were the initial real heros after Katrina and continue with their current assistance in Haiti. Nice to see much better coordination and response to this crisis between first responders and the the US military. This is a very good "dry run" for any potential disasters in the US (including Hurricanes amd Earthquakes) so that we don't repeat some of our own past mistakes thus raising the bar to a better response standard.

Ha ha ha ha....Amy, I got my daughter started on Cosby at a young age! Now she and I quote him chapter and verse all the time. I can thank Mr. Cosby for getting me both into and out of trouble in an 8th grade drama class. A couple of us were constantly quoting him, even during tests...so the teacher told us if we thought we were so funny, how 'bout we just get up and perform the whole "Junior Barnes" routine for the class! It was TOO much fun!

Dan - thanks for the video! No matter how many times I see/hear this bit, I still LMBO!

And Awake, your shower curtain "procurement" talents are without equal. You rock!!!

I'm off to make brownies and other goodies for my "baby boy"...he's 23, coming to visit us for the first time in waaaaayyyy too long. Yup, color me excited!!

Once again, Synchronicity on the Blog rules,
regarding (a) received packages, and (b) Portlight.

UPS just delivered yet ANOTHER guitar. My dear husband doesn't even really play; just makes noise.

This is part of those "inferred" spousal goodwill "deals" re our future attendance at the Portlight fundraiser/party/WU get-together that is being planned for May in New Orleans (details TBD), where I have volunteered to wash dishes in lieu of funds.

Sigh...I don't suppose I can get a charity donation tax receipt of above-mentioned boy toy unless I actually donate it, huh?
