In this Conversation conducted with Monica Dashen and Rachel Green we learn about their experiences on a volunteer project with Statistics without Borders (SwB) in Haiti during the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew (October 2016). The project focused on conducting a nationwide household survey to confirm aid distribution and quantify the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew (five-weeks later). In this small-scale survey, SwB explored the following topics (a) aid distribution, (b) impact of Matthew, and (c) health issues. Only 18% of the people have received aid. The results of the study indicate that aid distribution, a thorny issue, needs to be given still more thought.2
