     Throughout it's history Haiti has suffered cyclones, hurricanes, floods, and tropical storms. One of the worst hazards to happen is flooding. Because of Haiti's severe earthquakes, tsunamis happen and cause flooding. Not to mention tons of tropical storms that occur. Haiti's flooding is severe. Now that climate change is severe, the ocean levels are rising so flooding is more likely to happen. 

     As discussed in several other posts, flooding preventative strategies include buildings being elevated, planting trees and greenery, and warning systems. One way to accomplish this would be to  increase spending fees on flooding prevention tactics. It's hard enough as it is to save money for preventative strategies since Haiti is a very poor country.
