GHI’s Haiti team worked closely with #SEMANAH to install tsunami warning and evacuation route signs in Fort-Liberte, on the north coast of #Haiti. A big thank you to the International Tsunami Information Center for supporting this critical work! #TsunamiReady
Nan depatman Nip, sant sante Ti Twou de Nip lan se sèl espwa abitan Ti Twou ak Gran Boukan genyen. Poutèt move wout yo, li difisil pou al nan lòt lopital. Gras ak finansman #IRAF @cdri_world, GHI ap ranfòse kapasite sant lan pou l reziste anba katastwòf.
Glad to have GHI's Dr. Hari Kumar @sabharim moderating this important dialogue.
⚠️ 3,500+ lives lost. US$37B in damage.
The 2026 #Venezuela earthquake doublet showed how failures across power, internet, transport, airports & bridges can compound disaster impacts.
💡 Join the #DRIDialogue to explore lessons on seismic preparedness, cascading failures, recovery, and #resilientinfrastructure.

In Haiti’s Nippes department, the Petit Trou de Nippes health center is a vital lifeline for residents of Petit Trou & Grand Boucan. Poor roads make travel to referral care difficult. With funding from @cdri_world's #IRAF, GHI is helping strengthen its disaster resilience.
For #ClimateWeekNYC, our webinar shows #MangroveConservation helping protect at-risk communities from tsunamis, typhoons, storm surge & coastal erosion. Our science-informed program equips local people for stronger coastal resilience. #NatureBasedSolutions youtu.be/1Mko9AX0egY
