TROPICAL CYCLONE BATSIRAI AND EMNATI FEBRUARY 2020
overview
Overview
At 8:30am (GMT-4) on 14 August, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake rocked southwestern Haiti just 12km northeast of Saint-Louis-du-Sud, about 125 kilometers west of the capital Port-au-Prince. While preliminary assessments are still in their very early stages, the Haitian Civil Protection General Directorate reports more than 700 collapsed buildings, including hospitals, schools and churches, and 3,778 destroyed homes in the provinces of Nippes and Grand’Anse. Thousands of injuries and deaths have been reported, and these figures are likely to increase significantly in the coming hours and days as more are still missing. Significant humanitarian access constraints, a fragile security situation and a fast-approaching tropical storm add an extra layer of complexity to humanitarian response efforts in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

AGERCA in Action
The Alliance for Risk Management and Business Continuity (AGERCA) is an independent non-governmental organization (NGO) that provides a mechanism for the Haitian private sector to support the national system for risk and disaster management and to enable businesses of all sizes to recover quickly and build forward better from crises.
As a member of the national emergency operations center, AGERCA participated in national emergency coordination meetings. They supported the General Directorate of Civil Protection in coordinating the response of the private sector, civil society and Haitian diaspora. On 14 August, following a request from the Haitian government, AGERCA provided phone credits to support information management and coordination. AGERCA also immediately started to map local private sector resources and capacities that could be mobilized to support disaster relief in cooperation with its members. In addition to financial contributions, AGERCA member companies and partners made in-kind donations of critical items including thousands of gallons potable water, clothes, solar-powered refrigerators, etc. AGERCA also posted regular situation reports and deployed a staff member to the south of Haiti to support the earthquake response in the most affected communities.
