Haiti - FLASH : Floods and landslides notice
The remnants of the tropical Kirk system could cause rain, thunderstorms and gusts of wind as early as Saturday night on Haiti. As a result of these activities, which could become more supported and more frequent on Sunday, Haiti's Hydro-meteorological unit (UHM), together with the Permanent Secretariat for Risk Management and the Directorate of Civil Protection (DPC) launched yesterday Friday a notice of flood and ground movements.

Tropical storm Kirk, which had reformed on Wednesday, having dissipated earlier this week, crossed Thursday night, the South of the West Indies and was located Friday at midday, about 295 km west of southwest Martinique and 575 km south-southeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico and moving west-northwest at a speed of 20 km/h.

Despite a likely disruption of this tropical storm, which could again become a tropical depression or a tropical wave, the DPC demand, with insistence and primarily to residents of flood risk areas, of rock fall, landslides, to remain alert and strictly implement the safety instructions in case of rain, thunderstorms and wind gusts from Saturday until Monday.

Moreover, an altitude Thalweg in the Atlantic (zone of low pressures between two zones of high pressures) in other words an area of bad weather, generates since Friday morning a little instability in the North of the Greater Antilles. Consequently, isolated showers and thunderstorms are expected over Haiti in the departments of South-East, Nippes, Grand-Anse, South, West, North-East, North, Center and Artibonite.
