The CUNY Haitian Studies Institute at 可乐视频 offers its deepest sympathy to all Haitians who are feeling grief-stricken following the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti on Saturday, August 14, 2021. The 7.2 magnitude quake destroyed several towns in Haiti鈥檚 southern peninsula, leaving thousands of people dead and injured, and many more in need of urgent medical care and shelter. According to the United States Geological Survey, the epicenter of the quake was the town of Petit Trou de Nippes, some 50 miles west from the densely populated capital city of Port-au-Prince, where more than 300,000 people died in the January 2010 earthquake.
Haiti sits on many seismic fault lines, including the Enriquillo-Plaintain Garden fault zone that triggered the current quake, as well as the one which leveled the nation鈥檚 capital on January 12, 2010. Thus, Haiti needs to design and implement a comprehensive plan to help mitigate the disastrous impacts of all natural phenomena, including hurricanes, floods, and droughts.
The CUNY Haitian Studies Institute at 可乐视频 stands with the people of Haiti in demanding that the Haitian government ensure that all available resources be equitably and fairly distributed in this time of crisis. We also ask that other countries and all friends offer and deliver their solidarity and assistance with the utmost respect for human dignity and the nation鈥檚 sovereignty.
Deklarasyon sou goudougoudou mwa dawou 2021 ann Ayiti
Enstiti Etid Ayisyen CUNY nan Bouklin Kol猫j ap di tout Ayisyen pou yo pran kouraj nan moman gwo doul猫 goudougoudou samdi 14 dawou 2021 lage yo a. F貌s tranblemannt猫 sa a se 7.2 sou ech猫l Richter. Li touye anpil moun, li blese anpil l貌t, epitou li kraze biwo leta ak anpil l貌t kay. Timoun kou granmoun lage nan lari. Dapre s猫ten seyismol貌g, episant goudougoudou sa a se Titwou nan Depatman Nip, ki apepr猫 a 80 kilom猫t de P貌toprens, kapital peyi a, kote plis pase 300 000 Ayisyen te p猫di lavi yo nan goudougoudou 12 janvye 2010 la.
Ayiti chita sou plizy猫 fay seyismik, pami yo fay Enriquillo a ki deklannche goudougoudou samdi 14 dawou 2021 an. Se menm fay sa a ki te lak貌z sa k te f猫t 12 janvye 2010 la tou. Al貌s Ayiti dwe gen yon pwogram solid, byen bati, byen deplwaye, byen jere pou diminye kalite ak kantite dezas fenom猫n natir猫l tankou tranblemannt猫, sikl貌n, inondasyon, sechr猫s kapab f猫 l猫 yo frape peyi a.
Enstiti Etid Ayisyen CUNY nan Bouklin Kol猫j kanpe ak p猫p Ayisyen an k ap mande gouv猫nman peyi a pou l f猫 kou l konnen pou tout resous ki disponib yo byen separe ak tout moun ki nan mitan dezas la. Nou mande tou pou tout peyi ak zanmi Ayiti k ap f猫 solidarite ak p猫p la pou yo respekte diyite chak moun ansanm ak dwa grand猫t maj猫 p猫p Ayisyen an.
