UN peacekeepers are helping to evacuate thousands of people by boat or truck. They are also working with Haitian police to evaluate access to roads and bridges in the most affected regions, and to assess the damage.
The Mission says that preparations are complete to provide immediate assistance for up to 3,000 families.
