This post is for those working in Haiti and needing info on cholera prevention and care after Hurricane Matthew.  Please forgive me if I do not give credit to the correct organization for each of these documents.  I’m just trying to get this info out fast and feel like I can add that in later if needed.  We didn’t come up with these documents. We’ve just collected them from over the years of treating cholera.  Also, our internet is going too slow here for me to look up all the websites on these right now.  Write me if you have more questions or other info to add.

http://www.sodis.ch/methode/anwendung/index_EN & http://www.cdc.gov/safewater/solardisinfection.html – There are tons of ways to treat water.  Everyone and every location does it differently.  Don’t forget SODIS as a cheap method (not perfect, but good in a pinch).  If cloudy water, filter through a towel.  Put in a clear plastic bottle (coke, water, not sprite or colored bottles). Put it on some tin in the sun for at least 6 hrs and it’s ready to drink.
