Hurricane Sandy in Haiti
Hurricane Sandy tore through the Caribbean between 26-28 October, leaving a reported 51 dead in Haiti and another 15 missing. The country's housing and terrain are particularly vulnerable to flooding, and the refugee camps from the 2010 earthquake have also been affected by the storm.
The southern part of Haiti was most affected by the storm, which includes the capital of Port-au-Prince and the 370,000 earthquake refugees in simple wood and tin shelters.
More than 200,000 people have been left homeless following the storm, with some coastal houses swept out to sea. In the aftermath of the storm, 17,200 people have been placed in shelters.
Though the flood water from the rivers were beginning to recede on Sunday, according to reports, roads have been cut off, bridges have collapsed, and crops have been destroyed, providing further difficulties to Haiti's recovery. There are also concerns that cases of Cholera may increase in the affected areas following the flooding.

Hurricane Sandy passed across the Caribbean causing floods and landslides and damages to infrastructure. This map illustrates satellite-detected areas of standing water from RADARSAT-2 data collected 01 November 2012. Pre-Crisis analysis was generated using RADARSAT-1 data collected 22 June 2003. It is likely that standing waters have been systematically underestimated along highly vegetated areas along main river banks, and within built-up urban areas because of the special characteristics of the satellite data used. This analysis has not yet been validated in the field.
