In October, 2016, Hurricane Matthew primarily struck the southern portions of Haiti, where wide spread property damage, injuries, and deaths occurred. Statistics without Borders (SwB) conducted a nationwide household survey to confirm aid distribution and quantify the aftermath of Matthew (five-weeks later). In a small-scale nationwide survey, SwB explored the aid distribution where we found that only 18% of the people received aid. Our results indicate that aid distribution, a thorny issue, needs to be given still more thought. The original Haitian election was to take place October 9, 2016. However due to Matthew's wrath the elections were rescheduled to November 20, 2016 where Jovenel Moise (of the P.H.T.K) won. Preliminary observations from an electoral observation the author participated in will be discussed, along with response fabrication prevention and detection techniques.
