Hello folks: What next for Haiti? That is a question many are asking as we all prepare and hunker down as best we can for the arrival of Hurricane Tomas. We awoke to grey and cloudy skies today and a lot of wind. The Ministry of Education closed schools for today and tomorrow. As I type it is just starting to rain a bit.


However it did not stop me from doing some errands and taking my brother and sister-in-law who are visiting, to the Metal workers area to do some shopping. The civic protection has done a great job of keeping the people informed and sending out warnings and instructions over the radio. In different areas around the city there are a number of sites being prepared with temporary housing. The picture below isn't the best but it will give you and idea of the type of temporary housing that is being put up. Hopefully some of them will be habitable for folks to take refuge from the storm.

The public health dept and civic protection at the same time preparing for the hurricane are also still working hard on public awareness to prevent the spread of the cholera. They have been handing out soap, potable water and other such necessities.

So keep up your prayers for Haiti and its people.
