1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Hurricane Sandy hit Haiti on 23 October. Three consecutive days of heavy rain caused severe
flooding in the country, causing serious loss of life and damaging and destroying homes and public
infrastructure. The Government of Haiti declared a state of emergency on 30 October.
The impact of the hurricane has generated a number of
critical humanitarian needs and exacerbated existing
ones. Of utmost concern are the 1.5 million people
living in severe food insecurity in rural areas most
affected by the hurricane. This is due to the loss of
agricultural land, livelihoods and harvests, and the
damage to the few agricultural areas spared by this
year’s drought and Tropical Storm Isaac in August. Up
to 450,000 people, including at least 4,000 children
under the age of five are at risk of severe acute
malnutrition as a result. With harvests destroyed in
most of the country, the entire country’s food security
situation is threatened.
The hurricane also destroyed at least 6,274 houses and
damaged a further 21,427 according to the Haitian
Directorate for Civil Protection (DPC). Out of the
estimated 31,370 people who lost their houses, the
majority are now living with host families or in
improvised accommodation, while 2,949 are still living
in 18 hurricane shelters where they took refuge during or
after the storm. Hundreds of public buildings and
facilities including cholera treatment facilities, hospitals
and schools were destroyed, and infrastructure, notably
potable water networks, suffered significant damage.
New cholera outbreaks in the coming weeks and months
are feared as a result. In addition, roads and bridges
were destroyed or badly damaged; river banks collapsed,
washing away arable lands.

additional funding over 2012 and 2013. Of this, $23.2 million will be required to finance the first
phase of the response until the end of the year, which is outlined in this Emergency Revision of the
2012 CAP. This first phase will immediately address the critical needs of 1.26 million people in food
security and nutrition, shelter, health, WASH, and education. This brings the 2012 CAP's overall
revised requirements to $151,080,810, and leaving unmet requirements of $95,344,094.

2. CONTEXT AND HUMANITARIAN
CONSEQUENCES
2.1 Context
Although Haiti was not directly in Hurricane Sandy’s path, the storm triggered heavy rains and severe
flooding in the West, South, Grand’Anse, Nippes and South-East Departments. Of the country’s 140
communes, 70 were affected by the storm. Water levels are receding, but several areas remain
inaccessible due to damaged bridges and highways.
Haitian authorities and humanitarian actors were quick to respond to the needs identified. To date,
assessments have been carried out in all affected communes and departments. Distributions of
mattresses, sleeping bags, hygiene kits and food rations have been carried out (see Response to date,
below).

Although main ports, airports, fuel storage facilities and electricity plants were spared major damage,
there are serious concerns regarding key parts of the road network. Humanitarian organizations have
sufficient transport and storage capacity, but road access to certain affected areas of the southern
peninsula (Grand’Anse and South Departments), near the Dominican border (Fond Verrets in West
Department) and in Baie D’Orange and Mapou in the South-East Department remains limited. In
particular, it is paramount that a quick and stable solution is found for the repair of the Port–au-Prince
to Malpasse road, one of the main arteries of the country.2
2
Infrastructure repair falls outside the scope of this appeal but international partners are encouraged to continue
supporting the Ministry of Public Works (MoPW) to continue their quick road repair. Road repairs will also
contribute in resuming the normal flow of economic exchanges and in facilitating market access for farmers.

2.2 Response to date
The Haitian Government released an emergency budget allocation of HTG 350 million ($8.4 million)
for immediate life-saving response while humanitarian partners also provided assistance (see further
details below). However, in-country resources are increasingly strained. For humanitarian partners,
severe underfunding of the 2012 Consolidated Appeal has reduced emergency response capacity in
the country. Many of the critical needs resulting from the devastating passage of Sandy cannot
currently be met. The table below reflects a number of interventions by the international community
in support of Government response efforts:

2.3 Funding to date
As of 10 November, humanitarian funding received against the 2012 CAP stood at $55.7 million
representing only 37% of the critical humanitarian requirements identified.
Shortfalls in
humanitarian funding throughout 2011 and 2012 have reduced response capacities to the extent that
there is insufficient capacity under current conditions to meet the additional humanitarian needs
resulting from Hurricane Sandy. This Emergency Revision seeks to mobilize additional funding
needed to meet these requirements.
The Emergency Relief and Response Fund (ERRF) for Haiti remains
open and may serve as a channel to allocate contributions against this
appeal. Appeal projects for cholera response will be targeted for ERRF
allocations.

3. HUMANITARIAN CONSEQUENCES AND NEEDS
ANALYSIS
The hurricane has generated a number of critical humanitarian needs. The impact on the agricultural
sector is a priority. In August, Tropical Storm Isaac destroyed some 40% of the harvest,
compounding the effect of drought earlier in the year. Sandy then devastated agricultural lands in the
south that Isaac had not affected, with over 90,000 hectares of agricultural land and crops in at least
60 of the country’s 140 communes destroyed.3 The combined impact is alarming, with 1.5 million
severely food insecure, and up to 450,000 people, including at least 4,000 children estimated to be at
risk of severe acute malnutrition (SAM).

A second area of concern is shelter. According to data
collected by the DPC, 27,701 homes were either damaged
or destroyed (see table). Out of the estimated 31,370
people who lost their houses, the majority are now living
with host families or in improvised accommodations,
while 2,949 are still living in 18 hurricane shelters.
Another 5,298 earthquake-displaced people in camps were
also left homeless by Sandy and are in the process of
being assisted with emergency shelter distributions.
A number of critical public buildings and infrastructure
were severely damaged by the storm. As of 31 October,
150 schools were destroyed or damaged, resulting in 100

reopen. This affects an estimated 20,000 children. Health
structures were also affected: 22 cholera treatment facilities were destroyed by Sandy, in addition to
the 39 facilities damaged by Tropical Storm Isaac, which have not yet been repaired. 30 potable
water supply systems were also damaged, affecting 830,000 people. An increase in cholera cases is
being reported in the South and South-East Departments and there are fears of further outbreaks.
Mitigation and clean up works will be required in camps, hurricane shelters and affected areas to reestablish decent living conditions

4. CLUSTER RESPONSE PLANS
4.1 Food security and Nutrition
Losses caused by Tropical Storm Sandy in the agricultural sector are estimated at $104 million.
According to the National Committee for Food Security (CNSA), 1.5 million people in facing severe food
insecurity, due to the loss of crops and livelihoods; at least 4,000 children under five are at risk of severe
acute malnutrition.
Immediate interventions required include prompt food rations to most affected populations; cash/food
for work for households at highest risk of food insecurity; voucher distributions for the most vulnerable
(disabled, elderly, etc.); key nutrition interventions for victims of severe acute malnutrition as well as for
children at risk of malnutrition; and provision of agricultural inputs to allow immediate re-planting.
Background and needs analysis
The combined impact of the drought earlier in 2012, Tropical Storm Isaac, and now Hurricane Sandy
on the food security situation in Haiti has been devastating, with 1.5 million people, in 92 out of the
country’s 140 communes, facing a situation of severe food insecurity. 4 5 This situation led the
Government to decree a state of emergency on 30 October.
.
Maize farm completely flooded in Les Cayes (Sud) - Banana farm flooded in Jeremie (Grande-Anse)
Evaluations carried out after the drought and Tropical Storm Isaac revealed that almost 50% of
communes, or 2.5 million people, were affected by food insecurity. Of these, an estimated 900,000
people are severely food insecure. With the impact of Sandy, this number has increased to 1.5 million.
There have been significant reductions in the availability of local food products, with consequent
significant price increases (200% price increase in some communes were registered at the end of
September 2012 compared to the prices in September 2011). By end of October 2012, corn
production had declined by 42%; sorghum and rice by 33%; bananas by 37%; potatoes by 22% and
vegetables by 6%. Commercial production of coffee, bananas, avocadoes, mangoes and oranges has

HAÏTI CAP EMERGENCY REVISION (HURRICANE SANDY)—NOVEMBER 2012
also been severely affected. This has resulted in a greater dependence on imported food products and
increasing vulnerability to international price fluctuations.
Worsening an already serious situation, Sandy hit the few remaining productive areas in the country.
The total losses are estimated at $104 million, mostly in the agricultural, fishing and pastoral sectors.
The departments of Grand’Anse, Nippes, the South, the South-East, the West and the North-East are
identified as being the most affected areas, however the food crisis will affect the entire population.
As a direct impact of the combined effects of the drought, Isaac and Sandy, the population in affected
areas is facing a triple threat of decreased job opportunities, reduced access to food and less
agricultural land to cultivate for the coming harvest season. Most vulnerable households have
depleted food stocks, at a time when the next harvest season is still months away (June 2013).
Dry season and TS Isaac priority areas, prior to Sandy
The household survey carried out in September 2012 by the CNSA found that up to 57% of rural
households were severely food-insecure.6 There is a high probability that households in areas affected
by the drought and by Isaac and Sandy are not meeting their basic calorific requirements. A worrying
deterioration of the nutritional status for the most vulnerable (children under five, lactating/pregnant
women, the elderly and disabled, people living with AIDS) is likely. Preventive measures are
therefore increasingly urgent.
Households interviewed prior to Sandy, in September-October 2012, were already relying on negative
coping mechanisms such as the sale of productive assets, increased wood cutting to produce charcoal
(especially fruit trees), increased dependency on credit for food purchase, decreased number and
quality of meals, reduction in school enrolment, and increased migration to urban areas. Nonagricultural employment opportunities are even more limited than before, in particular in rural areas.
In addition, the fishing community has also been badly affected by Sandy.

4.2 CCCM and Shelter
Hurricane Sandy destroyed 6,274 houses and damaged a further 21,427 according to the DPC. Out of the
estimated 31,370 people who lost their houses, the majority are now living with host families or in
improvised accommodations, while 2,949 are still living in 18 hurricane shelters. Of these, at least 2,300
are unable to return to their place of origin because their houses and/or lands have been destroyed by
the storm.
Immediate Shelter and CCCM interventions will include: the distribution of repair and reconstruction kits,
technical support and training, restocking of non-food items (NFIs), the provision of basic essential
services for the 2,949 people still living in evacuation shelters, and mitigation and disaster risk reduction
(DRR) works in affected areas.
Background and needs analysis
1. Housing sector
A thorough field assessment conducted by E-Shelter and CCCM Cluster partners will be required to
verify the damages estimated by the DPC at the time of the initial rapid assessment and to determine
whether reconstruction and repairs can take place, whether mitigation and DRR works are needed
and/or whether relocation options are available.
Once the assessments are completed, E-Shelter and CCCM Cluster partners will proceed with the
distribution of repair and reconstruction kits, accompanied by technical support, training and
communications tools to promote a safer and sturdier reconstruction and repair process. In some
cases, particularly in rural areas, it transitional shelters may be necessary, and in urban areas rental
subsidies may be required. The Shelter support strategy will need to maintain a certain level of
flexibility to adapt to the evolving needs on the ground. Partners will seek to integrate Shelter
assistance with livelihood, agriculture and WASH activities.

2. At risk camps
Heavy rains generated important flooding in camps causing the destruction of thousands of dwellings
and tents. Overall, 5,200 emergency shelters were destroyed in 88 camps. 78 out of the 115 camps
affected by Sandy were also affected by Isaac.
Camps affected

Source: IOM
To minimize the number of vulnerable IDPs exposed to floods and landslides the 115 camps
identified by Government as being most at risk will be prioritized for return projects, particularly
using the rental subsidy approach.
Immediate needs in camps include: (1) re-stocking contingency NFIs to replace those distributed
after the two storm crises in 2012 (Isaac and Sandy) and (2) mitigation and DRR works in and around
the most affected camps and areas of return, to ensure safe living conditions.
3. Evacuation shelters
A preventative evacuation of 19,000 at-risk people was
organized by national authorities as Hurricane Sandy

approached (this number included 1,250 extremely
vulnerable IDPs evacuated from at-risk camps in Port-auWest

be without return solutions, as their houses and/or land were washed away by the floods. These
people are in need of immediate basic assistance including NFIs, clean water, basic sanitation and
hygiene items. They will also need shelter assistance to return to their communities of origin or
relocate to a new area.

4.3 Health and WASH
Increased numbers of cholera cases are being reported in various areas in the aftermath of Sandy while
response capacities are limited. 22 cholera treatment facilities were destroyed by the storm. Damage to
30 potable water supply systems is a further concern. Immediate interventions required include the
rehabilitation of the 22 damaged cholera facilities, the pre-positioning of medical stocks to treat 10,000
potential victims and the rehabilitation of the 30 water supply systems.
Background and needs analysis
Health system
Despite a significant decline in the incidence of cholera infections and fatalities in 2012 the cholera
epidemic continues and the risk of outbreaks remains acute. With the passage of Tropical Storm Isaac
and now Hurricane Sandy, several new outbreaks have been recorded by the national alert system,
creating a spike in new cholera cases and fatalities. Between 28 October and 8 November 3,593 new
cases of cholera were recorded. This is against a backdrop of previously increased infection rates:
8,228 cases of cholera were recorded in October, in comparison to 7,500 in September.
Some isolated areas in the country have been difficult to reach due to flooding following Hurricane
Sandy. Aerial transportation has been needed to respond to localized cholera outbreaks. The increase
of patients in treatment centres has required a draw-down of pre-positioned medical supplies in
government warehouses at departmental level. New materials are urgently needed to replenish stocks
to respond to continuing anticipated caseload and outbreaks. Hurricane Sandy destroyed 22 cholera
treatment facilities in the South, South East, Grand’Anse and West Departments. This compounds the
difficulties caused by the prior destruction of 39 facilities by Isaac, which had not yet been repaired.
Exacerbating response challenges,
over recent months there has been
a sharp decrease in the number of
international actors involved in
the cholera response, while
Government capacity to respond
to cholera outbreaks faces
important limitations.
Thus,
immediate financing is required
for humanitarian partners to fill
critical gaps in response.

WASH
The 2,298 people still living in emergency shelters are in need of clean water, basic sanitation and
access to basic hygiene items. the National Directorate for Potable Water and Sanitation (DINEPA)
and WASH partners distributed approximately 4,000 hygiene kits to these people and are providing
WASH services in 30 out of the 136 emergency shelters. Damage to WASH infrastructure has been
identified across the country, with 30 water supply systems were damaged throughout the South,
Grande Anse, Nippes and West Departments. In a country lacking basic sanitation of sewage
infrastructure, these systems are in need of immediate rehabilitation. Works will be implemented by
DINEPA, with support from the UNICEF and other WASH partners.
The drastic reduction in safe water coverage after Sandy as a result of the destruction of these water
supply systems sharply increases the risk of exposure to water-borne diseases. The localized
outbreaks of cholera cases reported so far attest to heightened risks. Immediate measures are needed
to protect and restore drinking water sources and to improve sanitation, as well as to restore
damaged and destroyed cholera treatment facilities. In addition, both for short-term shelter solutions
and in housing reconstruction, ensuring access to latrines and other basic sanitation facilities is
essential.
Additional contingency stocks are urgently required to deal with cholera outbreaks and emergencies
for the remaining weeks of the hurricane season and to replenish severely depleted stocks. Finally,
immediate support to the WASH Sector information management and coordination capacities of
DINEPA has to be maintained.

The Ministry of Education and its partners have proposed a two-fold response strategy:
■
Immediate: repair damaged schools and set up temporary learning spaces with temporary
measures, using tarpaulins, tents and tin sheets, targeting the schools which have not been
able to re-open or properly function.
■
Medium-term: rehabilitate the destroyed schools with light-structured temporary learning
schools in order to better resist cyclones.
