As the death toll rises and the floodwaters recede, Hurricane Jeanne's devestation in Haiti is astounding. Water sources are contaminated and pose an immediate health risk to hundreds of thousands of people. Health facilities have been destroyed, just as the risk of water-borne epidemics is skyrocketing. And thousands of households have lost everything.
