摘要：
Background: The Grand?Anse area of Haiti was nearly destroyed by Hurricane Matthew in October 2016. The Health Education Action League for Haiti (HEAL-Haiti) provided an educational program in Dame Marie (Grand?Anse) on disaster management and emergency preparedness in June 2017. Purpose: To educate community leaders on how to train their community members to respond to disasters. Intervention: Workshops covering emergency preparedness, water-borne diseases, and post-traumatic stress were presented. Evaluation: Results from post-intervention focus groups were collected by community partners. After ten months, HEAL-Haiti evaluated the program. For the past three years, the program has been successful and ongoing on a yearly basis for new and returning participants.
