Description of the Event
A category 1 hurricane, tropical storm Tomas, heading towards Haiti, is expected to reach the proximity of Haiti on 5 November 2010.
The storm has already caused major damage to infrastructure and housing. Considering the large number (approximately 1.5 million) of refugees living in very basic conditions, the risk of a major impact is very high.
