Description
The M7.2 Haiti Earthquake which occurred on 14th August, resulted in many buildings being severely damaged, including health facilities, hurricane shelters, schools and other facilities critical to the recovery. This Handover Document outlines a proposal for successful operations of the Haitian-led Damage Assessment Coordination Centre (DACC) in Les Cayes, Haiti. The proposal is the outcome of several workshops with key stakeholders, at the regional and national levels, and documents the process that was agreed to continue after SARAID’s departure.
This Handover Document forms one of 2 objectives of the SARAID deployment: (1) to support establishment of a damage assessment coordination process in Haiti (as outlined in this Handover Document), and (2) to directly assess critical buildings in the interim whilst a DACC is being established (as defined in a separate document “Summary of Advisory Building Safety Assessments by International Engineers Following the Aug 14 M7.2 Haiti Earthquake”).
