The hurricane season in Haiti normally runs from June to November. There have been several hurricanes in recent decades causing loss of life, major damage and severe flooding. Travelers staying in Haiti when a hurricane occurs should listen to information given on the television/radio stations and follow the advice of hosts or hotel management. Emergency services are ill equipped to cope with a major disaster. Should a hurricane strike Haiti, basic transport and communication services could be severely disrupted.
Dengue Fever is endemic to Latin America and the Caribbean and can occur throughout the year. In 2007, there was a marked increase in the number of reported cases across the region.
The threat from terrorism is low.
