Haiti's vulnerability to hydro-meteorological hazards has been highlighted by floods in recent decades. These events caused numerous deaths and colossal damage, and had a lasting impact on key sectors of the Haitian economy. Unfortunately, climate change will tend to increase the frequency and intensity of these hydrometeorological events in...

Study region : The studied region is the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica and Puerto Rico) and the Lesser Antilles (Southern part of the Caribbean arc).Study focus : The performance of MSWEP, CHIRPS, PERSIANN-CDR, ERA-5 and GPM IMERG were evaluated to highlight their qualities and shortcomings and to guide researchers in the choice...

During the last decades, more than thirty major floods have been recorded in almost all of Haiti's departments. These recurrent floods have highlighted the high vulnerability of the Haitian territory to hydro-meteorological hazards. The heavy rainfall events that generate these major floods need to be characterized. This first characterization...

Recent floods have highlighted the high vulnerability of Haitian territories to hydro-meteorological hazards. For example, the coastal city of Cayes (southern Haiti) has been heavily impacted by the torrential rainfall of October 5 to 6, 2018, with numerous damaged buildings. In Haiti, the only time period of continuous observations of both...

Recent floods have highlighted the high vulnerability of Hispaniola Island (split by Haiti in the West and Dominican Republic in the East) towards hydro-meteorological hazards. For example, the coastal city of Cayes, in southern Haiti, has been heavily impacted by the torrential rainfall of October 5 to 6, 2018, with numerous damaged buildings....

Haiti, a Caribbean country, is highly vulnerable to hydroclimatic hazards due to heavy rainfall, which is partly linked to tropical cyclones. Additionally, its steep slopes generate flash floods, particularly in small catchments. Moreover, the hydrology of this region remains poorly understood and understudied. Unfortunately, there is no...

Haïti, pays caribéen, est extrêmement exposé et vulnérable face aux aléas hydro-climatiques. Or, aucune base de données hydro-climatiques exploitable et facilement accessible à la communauté scientifique n'existe. Les seules données existantes sont les 156 séries de pluies mensuelles (1905-2005) et les 70 séries de débits journaliers...
