In a proactive response to the impending threat of Hurricane Melissa, the Haitian government has launched a comprehensive emergency plan to safeguard its citizens. On October 28, 2025, the National Emergency Operations Center (COUN) convened a press conference during the 27th annual ‘Tuesdays of the Nation’ event to disseminate critical safety guidelines, particularly targeting residents in the vulnerable Southern Peninsula region. Hurricane Melissa, classified as a Category 5 storm, is advancing at 15 km/h, with wind gusts peaking at 295 km/h and projected rainfall exceeding 42 cm. These severe conditions pose significant risks of flooding, landslides, and river overflow. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, the National Committee for Risk and Disaster Management (CNGRD) has implemented urgent measures to mitigate the storm’s impact. The government has activated the Emergency Relief Fund (ERF) in affected areas, established operational reception centers, pre-positioned hygiene and food supplies, and initiated cash transfers via mobile money accounts to assist vulnerable families. A coordinated effort involving multiple ministries—Public Works, Transport and Communications, Economy and Finance, Social Affairs and Labor, Environment, Agriculture, and Public Health—is underway to minimize casualties and property damage.
