Haiti Disaster Risk Management and Recovery Experience Showcased in Washington, D.C.
* Building institutional capacity at all levels– for example, supporting Katye Pam Poze’s emergency risk reduction and response modules.
* Contributing to build infrastructure and processes — from basic physical work space to the creation of a single national emergency warning system.
* Supporting knowledge and innovation – by financing university research to identify new ways to tackle risk whilst channeling efforts of the young.
* Funding research and assessments –information gathering and sharing is one of Haiti’s major challenges.
* IT/online infrastructure, software and training so that databases and critical information can be shared.
* Helping build comprehensive disaster risk reduction programs in priority cities and departments since reducing risk across the whole country at the same speed is impossible.
* Build national capacity to assess, monitor and reduce risks. In particular, build on the progress made on seismic risk reduction while also strengthening cyclone/hydro capacity.
