iciHaiti – Hurricane Beryl: The South, South-East and Grand’Anse Depts, the most exposed
03/07/2024 10:08:22
The powerful, catastrophic and potentially deadly Category 5 hurricane Beryl will not directly affect southern Haiti, but given its movement off the Haitian coast and its power, it will nevertheless impact the departments of the South, Southeast and Grand’Anse (on orange alert) with heavy rain and gusts of wind, according to the Haitian Hydrometeorological Unit and the Civil Protection Directorate (DPC).
Aid agencies in Haiti are in close contact with Haitian authorities as the country could be hit by heavy rains, strong winds and landslides as Hurricane Beryl passes over sea.
The departments of the South, South-East and Grand-Anse could be the hardest hit,
United Nations agencies stand ready to assist and have already taken anticipatory measures, including food distributions.
