Haiti, the Caribbean nation of about 9 million people has been devastated in the past month by four
consecutive storms, including two hurricanes, Fay, Gustav, Hanna, and Ike. These storms destroyed
the already fragile infrastructure of this nation. It is estimated that 300,000 Haitian children were
affected and approximately 500 to 600 people have died. As a result, the City of Miami has been part
of a non-perishable food and clothing drive for victims in Haiti that ran through September 19th.
Food and clothing drops were established at all Fire Stations and Neighborhood Enhancement Team
(NET) offices. (Cont'd on next page )
