Country Risk Reduction Profile: Disaster Risk Reduction in Haiti

Haiti has been plagued by natural disasters – most notably earthquakes, hurricanes, mudslides, tropical storms, and floods. Over the past two years Save the Children has implemented 2 DRR programmes, which collectively have reached over 14,000 people directly and over 325,000 indirectly. Save the Children’s disaster preparedness, mitigation and management is child-focused and is part of the agency’s global child-led DRR strategy. Child-led approaches allow for meaningful participation of children at all levels of programming.
