Tropical Storm Jeanne
Tropical Storm Jeanne passed through Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands on Wednesday 15 September killing two people. It made landfall on the Dominican Republic as a category 1 hurricane and moved slowly northwest Thursday 16 and Friday 17, losing strength but causing extensive damage. Eleven deaths were reported on the Dominican Republic.
Tropical Storm Jeanne reached Haiti 17 September, with heavy rain falling over deforested hills in the north. Flooding started slowly on Saturday 18 September and then increased quickly to flash flooding causing fast run off into the valleys and towns.
The Directorate of Civil Protection in Haiti estimates the total number of dead currently at 1,514, with 952 still missing, and 2,600 injured. Some 300,000 people have been affected by flooding, with 4,471 houses destroyed resulting in 20,000 people left homeless. The city of Gonaives was the most seriously affected by the hurricane. Other towns in the peninsula between Gonaives and Port de Paix were also affected, including Ennery, Gros Morne, and Ans Rouge.
After Haiti, the storm passed over the northwestern Bahamas on 25 September as a category 5 hurricane. The most significant damage in the Bahamas was caused to the islands of Grand Bahama and Abaco. No deaths or serious injuries were reported but approximately 100 homes were damaged. The Bahamas Red Cross have undertaken an initial assessment that indicates up to 5,000 families are in need of assistance. The International Federation of the Red Cross are providing support to the Bahamas Red Cross, having utilised funds from their Disasters and Emergency Relief Fund (to which DFID makers an annual contribution).
