2016 年 10 月 4 日，飓风“马修”以 4 级强风暴的形式在海地西南端登陆，预计持续风速为 65 米/秒（145 英里/小时）。在太子港首都以西约 400 公里的蒂布龙半岛西部登陆地区，对建筑物和植被造成了极大破坏，造成大量人员死亡。 2016 年 11 月 18 日至 24 日期间，作者和来自美国和海地的合作者团队进行了勘察，以确定风暴的危害和损害程度。调查范围包括 Les Cayes、Les Anglais、Port Salut、Chardonnières 和 La Cahouane 的南部沿海社区，以及 Jérémie、Bonbon 和 Abricots 的北部沿海社区。本文总结了结合沿海、结构和无人机勘察的勘察工作，并讨论了该事件期间区域建设的表现，特别强调了低层砖石结构，这是海地城市的主要住宅类型。它还反映了这场灾难对受影响社区和整个国家的更广泛影响——这个国家仍在努力从 2010 年毁灭性地震中恢复过来。
Hurricane Matthew made landfall on the southwestern tip of Haiti as a strong Category 4 storm, with estimated sustained winds of 65 m/s (145 mph), on October 4, 2016. The landfall region in the western Tiburon Peninsula, approximately 400 km west of the capital of Port-au-Prince, sustained extreme damage to buildings and vegetation, with a significant number of fatalities. Between the dates of November 18–24, 2016, the authors and a team of collaborators from the USA and Haiti conducted reconnaissance to characterize the storm’s hazards and damage extent. The investigation canvassed the southern coastal communities of Les Cayes, Les Anglais, Port Salut, Chardonnières and La Cahouane, as well as the northern coastal communities of Jérémie, Bonbon and Abricots. This paper summarizes the reconnaissance efforts, which combined coastal, structural and unmanned aerial vehicle surveys, and discusses the performance of regional construction during this event, with particular emphasis on low-rise masonry structures, the predominant residential typology in urban Haiti. It also reflects upon the broader impacts of this disaster on the affected communities and the nation as a whole—a nation that continues to struggle with its recovery from the devastating 2010 earthquake.
