Is it safe to travel to Haiti?
Haiti is at level 3 on our 0 to 4 scale. Over the last 12 months only two events were recorded, and both were serious: one cyclone and one travel advisory. That is very thin data. It tells you what our sensors caught, not that the country is quiet. The cyclone is the one hazard here that genuinely follows a season, and with two records on file the month by month split tells you nothing. On homicide, the rate is 41.2 per 100,000 people, against a world median of 2.1. That number counts homicides and nothing else, not theft and not scams.
What it changes for a nomad
Set your dates around the cyclone season first. Outside it, what weighs is less the single event than how little holds around it: power, water, roads and flights move together here. A travel advisory sits in the record, so read what your own state publishes before you book and again before you fly, because insurers and sometimes employers follow that text. For a stay of several weeks, keep your setup light: work that survives a few days offline, money that does not depend on a single card, and a place you can stay in without going out for supplies every day.

To watch right now
- One alert is open right now: read it before moving around the country or committing to a booking.
- A cyclone rated 3 out of 4 is the most serious recent record; check what is still affected before you travel.
To watch as a rule
- The cyclone season, the one hazard here that runs on a calendar.
- Day to day security: the homicide rate, 41.2 per 100,000 against a world median of 2.1, is the only measured figure we have, and it covers homicide only.
- Travel guidance from your own state, which moves faster than our counts.
Good reflexes
- Keep several days of drinking water and cash in small notes at home.
- Charge power banks and your laptop as soon as the grid is up, not when you need them.
- Re-read your state's travel page the week you book and again on the day you fly.
- Set a short daily check-in with one person who knows where you sleep.
- Keep offline copies of your passport and tickets on your phone.
