Port-au-Prince Security

In Port-au-Prince particularly, almost all home invasions were conducted for the dual purpose of kidnapping and robbery. While night time burglaries remain the norm, there are frequent reports of daytime attempts, probing, and actual burglaries. 

The State department identifies the risk of traveling by vehicle,

“Travel by road is difficult and dangerous in Haiti.  The situation on the roads can be described as chaotic.  Drivers in Haiti must use extreme caution.  Poor road conditions and the absence of traffic rules lead to unpredictable and dangerous driving behavior.  When traveling outside of Port-au-Prince, drivers should caravan with other vehicles to avoid being stranded in the event of an accident or breakdown.  The Haitian government lacks adequate resources to assist drivers in distress or to clear the road of accidents or broken-down vehicles blocking the flow of traffic”
