Haiti - Hurricane Tomas : First measures of voluntary evacuations 31/10/2010 20:08:43
"We have launched an appeal for voluntary evacuation, particularly in the camps," said Alta Jean-Baptiste, the director of the Haiti's Civil Protection Office "We have plans to evacuate the camps but we won't be able to evacuate everybody." Nadia Lochard, the coordinator for civil protection, said authorities were showing camp dwellers how to properly tie up their tents before evacuating. She said that rains and strong winds predicted for the region south of the country could potentially affect Port-au-Prince. The hurricane is currently about 420 km (262 miles west of St Lucia), and moves westward at a speed of 19km/h (12mph), indicates the National Hurricane Center of Miami. Recall that the 2010 hurricane season had already produced 12 hurricanes, including five dangerous, but that Haiti, so far, has been spared. The trajectories of hurricanes are often capricious in the next 48 hours modeling should provide us more details.
