PREFACE: Tropical storm Sandy passed across Haiti on 23rd October 2012. Heavy rains caused flash floods, landslides and damages to infrastructure. This report provides a detailed analysis of the situation in Croix-des-Bouquets district, Haiti, as of 1st November 2012. We chose three villages still surrounding by water and mud slides. These villages, Dimulseou, Coutard and Drouillard, and their neighbourhoods still show the stigmata of mud slides. Surrounding fields are destroyed, roads and farm compounds invaded with mud and water. Worldview-2 satellite imagery acquired on the 01st November 2012 and pre-crisis DMC satellite imagery acquired on 23rd November 2011 have been used for this report. Geographic datasets produced for this assessment and additional UNOSAT products are available at http://www.unitar.org/unosat/maps.
