Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said that it could take up to ten years to rebuild the 250,000 houses that were destroyed by the devastating earthquake that struck the Caribbean island nation. It will be a challenge getting the citizens of Haiti prepared well enough for the hurricane season which starts on June first. The last thing that Haiti needs after being struck by a devastating earthquake is a devastating hurricane to make matters worse in a an already broken nation. In an article about the situation in Haiti:
Bellerive said shelter remained the biggest problem for the government to address. Residents whose homes were damaged, or who are afraid to sleep indoors, have set up camp on the edges of the capital's airport, the main city square downtown, a golf course, open fields, courtyards of businesses and sidewalks.
