Haiti Earthquake Recovery Begins
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — In the first week of October 2021, 179 highly trained Haitian engineers and social communicators were equipped and dispatched to Les Cayes, a major capital of the region that was severely affected by the recent earthquake, to begin damage and repair assessments. This program employs a first-of-its-kind post-earthquake assessment that combines rapid damage assessment, debris assessment and repair quantity assessment in a simultaneous process. Each assessed structure will be digitalized by a state-of-the-art field application and categorized in the damage index by attaching QR codes in addition to red-yellow-green tags. Residents will be able to access the information concerning the damage and repair of their homes by smartphones.
