(FILES) This file photo taken on November 3, 2016 shows a man cutting wood to prepare charcoal with wood that was left over from damaged trees from Hurricane Matthew in the village of Damassin, in the commune of Coteaux, in the southwestern Haiti. Haiti may have been largely spared from this year's worst hurricanes -- Harvey, Irma and Maria -- but it is still picking up the pieces from disastrous Matthew last year. That hurricane, which struck a year ago to the day, killed more than 500 people and caused two billion dollars in damage in the poorest country in the Americas. And the consquences are not over. The category 4 hurricane was the strongest to hit Haiti in a decade. Still, even though so many people died and so much damage was wrought, it did not change the way the country prepares for natural disasters. / AFP PHOTO / HECTOR RETAMAL
