    In Haiti, high exposure to recurring natural hazards results from a combination of social, economic, and environmental factors such as persistent poverty, weak human capital development, and depletion of resources. Women are amongst the most disaster-affected part of the population because of the multidimensional impacts on their economic and personal security. Moreover, the young, elderly, and disabled are also exposed to increased vulnerabilities related to natural hazards.​
