Les Cayes

On 4th October,  the eye of Hurricane Matthew, the most powerful hurricane on record in almost a decade, slowly crossed the south-west of Haiti. Les Cayes, the country's third-largest city, was particularly hard hit. Classed as category four (out of five), Hurricane Matthew ripped up trees and destroyed many buildings. The damage can be seen on the Pléiades satellite images acquired on 7 October 2016 compared to archive image ry from 2015.

The International Charter - Space and Major Disasters activated the programming of several satellites over the many sites in Haiti, as well as  Florida and the East Coast of America. Maps of the hurricane's impact were sent to relief organisations and to the authorities of the stricken countries.

How Much and How Little Haiti Has Changed...

Before and After Photos

Show How Much, and How Little

Haiti Has Changed Since The Quake

Eline Gordts Jan 18, 2015

Haiti marked the fifth anniversary of the devastating 2010 earthquake on Monday with church services and ceremonies.

The 7.0-magnitude quake struck in the morning of Jan. 12, 2010, destroying landmarks such as the presidential palace and the Sacre Coeur Church in Port-au-Prince. With more than 220,000 people killed, the earthquake was one of the worst natural disasters of modern times.

Gladys Lambard, who lost her husband and sister in the quake, told the Associated Press on Monday that the sadness of the disaster has marked her forever. “This is the anniversary of the day I can never forget,” she said.

Haiti is among the poorest countries in the world. More than half of the population lives in crowded slums and up to sixty percent survives on less than $2 a day. It is also one of the nations most at risk of natural disasters.

The before and after photos below serve as a stark reminder of the magnitude of the calamity that struck the country in 2010 and show how much, and how little, Haiti has changed since the quake.

Nouveau Kiskeya was the dream of a group of investors who purchased a large tract of beachfront property on the coast of Haiti looking to create a new community for the more affluent local Hatians and expatriates alike. 

Norris Design was contracted by the investor group to prepare a master plan for the development of this multi-year multi-phase project. In cooperation with Wendi Bircheler, the managing principal, we prepared several develop-ment concepts including a wide range of products until we landed upon a financially and politically viable mix. Having developed the overall program, I proceeded to refine the master plan and generate a phasing plan for the project in cooperation with the civil engineers. 

With a good idea as how the project would build out, my efforts were focused on flushing out the details and creating the individual neighborhood plans. In addition, site development guidelines and standards were developed in cooperation with the project architect for those neighborhoods included in the initial phases of construction. 

At the time I left Norris Design, the plan was being engineered and working its way through the local political approval process.

Le Président Martelly, accompagné, de plusieurs de ses Ministres et de l'Ambassadeur de bonne volonté pour Haïti Sean Penn, s'est rendu, ce mercredi 14 Mars, à Jean-Rabel (Nord-Ouest) où il a participé à un forum sous le thème "Perspectives de développement régional".

Selon un communiqué, cet important évènement s'est déroulé sur la cour de l'Hôtel Nouveau Kiskeya à Port-à-l'Ecu en présence des autorités de la région, des parlementaires dont les sénateurs Evalière Beauplan et Lucas St-Vil, et des centaines d'acteurs locaux et régionaux évoluant tant dans le public que dans le privé.

Ce colloque a été l'occasion pour le Chef de l'Etat de recueillir les désidératas et revendications de chaque localité de ce département et connaître dans le détail l'étendue des problèmes auxquels est confrontée la population du Nord-Ouest. Le Président Martelly, à qui un accueil chaleureux a été offert et une gerbe de fleurs et un panier de fruits ont été symboliquement remis, a en effet pris le temps d'écouter à cœur ouvert cette population qui, dépourvue des infrastructures de base, vit dans une situation difficile.

Dans son discours en présence des représentants de 39 sections communales du Nord-Ouest, le Président de la République a annoncé qu'il est prêt à rassembler tous les projets en cours d'exécution et ceux à venir dans une optique de cohérence pour une double harmonisation, d'abord, avec les besoins du pays, et, ensuite, entre tous les projets exécutés au niveau départemental.

En ce sens, le Président de la République promet de soutenir la construction du Complexe touristique du Nouveau Kiskeya à Port-à-l'Ecru, un projet initié par le Pasteur Robert Illusse dans le but de faire de cette localité une communauté planifiée. Une fois terminé, ce projet facilitera le développement touristique et attirera des milliers de touristes dans cette région où il existe bon nombre de kilomètres de plages.

Le Chef de l'Etat est aussi favorable à la construction de l'Aéroport International du Nord-Ouest, d'un Port, d'un wharf à la Baie des Moustiques, du tronçon de route Port-de-Paix/Jean-Rabel (52 kms) et au renforcement de la production agricole. Il demande ainsi aux parlementaires et aux autres responsables du département de se mettre ensemble, avec lui au centre des décisions, pour réaliser de sérieux projets en faveur des citoyens.

« Environ six millions de dollars sont disponibles dans le Trésor public pour réaliser des projets d'infrastructures dans le pays », a annoncé le Chef de l'Etat qui renouvelle sa détermination à apporter le changement pour le peuple haïtien.

Les différents parlementaires et autorités municipales ayant pris la parole ont manifesté leur volonté d'accompagner le Président Martelly sur la voix du changement. De son côté, Isaac Civil, Maire de Jean-Rabel, a adressé ses félicitations au Président de la République pour les importants pas déjà franchis vers le développement dans le pays (Education, Tourisme, Santé, Energie, Emploi, etc). Il dit reconnaître que le Chef de l'Etat a la volonté de décentraliser le pays.

Haiti President Michel Martelly officially unveiled a series of renovations at Port-au-Prince’s Toussaint Louverture International Airport on Sunday, following his trip to Europe.

The renovations include major overhauls to the airport’s arrivals terminal.

The President, flanked by Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe and Tourism Minister Stephanie Villedrouin, conducted a ribbon cutting ceremony, which was accompanied by the unveiling of a ceremonial plaque.

The first phase includes renovations to a series of areas of the airport, including the baggage claim, infirmary and the arrival terminal.

“Modernization will help boost our relations with other countries in the world as we integrate further into the global economic movement,” Martelly said. “At the same time, it puts [this] operation up to the standards of modern aviation.”

Thus far, over $6 million has been invested in the project, the government said, with the second phase, which includes renovations of the airport’s departures terminal, already underway.

Reconstruction of Haiti's National Palace to Begin

Presidential Reconstruction 
of 
Haiti's National Palace 
to Begin Wednesday

Palais National

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (defend.ht) - The Presidency informed the public on Tuesday that the reconstruction of the National Palace, destroyed in the January 12 earthquake, would begin on Wednesday morning.

By A Website Design

The National Palace invited journalists to attend the announcement and commencement of reconstruction activities for coverage for the population.

Facts

The National Palace (Palais National) is located in Port-au-Prince—facing Place L'Ouverture near the Champs de Mars—and is the official residence of the Haitian president.

The National Palace was designed in 1912 by Georges H. Baussan (1874–1958), a leading Haitian architect who graduated from the Ecole d'Architecture in Paris and whose commissions included the City Hall of Port-au-Prince and Haiti's Supreme Court Building.

Baussan's classical design was chosen from a range of plans submitted by Haitian and French architects in a national competition in 1912, His entry was awarded the second-place prize but also was selected to be the new National Palace, for financial reasons—the structure proposed by the first-place winner was deemed too costly.

The construction budget for the new palace was set at $350,000 and work began in May 1914. By 1915, however, the under-construction palace was set ablaze by a mob that ousted and assassinated President Vilbrun Guillaume Sam. A contemporary news report stated the palace "has been partially destroyed after an early-morning attack which lasted several hours".

After President Sam's death the country was occupied by the United States, with American forces taking possession of the palace and U.S. naval engineers overseeing its completion. The building was finished in 1920.

John Dryden Kuser, a wealthy American who visited Haiti in January 1920, described the new National Palace as

"a huge structure, quite like a palace in appearance .... It is more than twice the size of our White House and is shaped like the letter E, with the three wings running back from the front. In the main hall huge columns rise to the ceiling and at each side a staircase winds up to the second floor."

The primary rooms, Kuser noted, including the office of the president, were all about 40 feet square.

Like other public buildings in Haiti, Baussan's National Palace drew on the tradition of French Renaissance architecture and greatly resembled structures erected in France and its colonial territories during the late 19th century, such as Norodom Palace, the residence of the French governor general of Cochinchina. Made of white-painted reinforced concrete, the two-story National Palace had a central section featuring a domed entrance pavilion whose four Ionic columns supported a pedimented portico; at either end of the main façade were matching domed pavilions, also groined. 

The presidents and their families lived in the south wing of the building.
