The city woke up to rain on Monday, June 3, 2024. There is nothing worse to fill hearts with fear, reminding everyone of the events of last year on the same date. By late morning, the president of the municipal commission, Ernson Henry, civil protection officials, representatives of the Haitian and Swiss Red Cross, organization leaders, and members of civil society gathered at the entrance of the city to reflect on the new cyclone season that started on June 1.

The discussion is initiated with a grim admission. The scene created on June 3, 2023, has not been altered. "Despite a situation report and so many pleas to implement a reconstruction plan, nothing has been done so far," complains Clément Georges, technical coordinator of the local civil protection office, wondering, "Where is the central government?"
