The Mudd is an informal settlement on Abaco island that was mostly populated by Haitian migrant communities prior to Hurricane Dorian. When the Category Five storm hit landfall, water raised as high as 25 feet and entire shipping containers crashed into homes destroying the entire settlement.
Most of the people living in the Mudd relocated to other islands, with many residing in the Bahamian capital, Nassau. They now wait to return and rebuild their homes.
Category Five Hurricane Dorian was the worst disaster to ever hit landfall in the Bahamas. The storm struck in August 2019 and affected more than 70,000 people.
As residents of the hurricane-struck island of Abaco begin to return and rebuild their homes, IOM is working with the government and partners to help remove debris, assess and track the needs of affected populations and search for dignified housing solutions for the displaced.
