Haiti: MOI accelerates implementation of seismic risk plan

Source(s): Wall Street Journal Digital Network

Minister of the Interior Thierry Mayard-Paul announced the acceleration of the implementation of the Seismic Risk Plan (SRP) in Northern Haiti to improve the way the region prepares for and reduces risks of earthquakes. "We are committed to reducing vulnerability to natural disasters across the country and this program can be a pilot for the rest of the regions," said Mayard-Paul. The programme, funded by the Haiti Reconstruction Fund, will be implemented by the Civil Protection Agency, in collaboration with the United Nations Development Program, hand-in-hand with regional delegates.
