After the denial of the Directorate of Civil Protection (DPC) and the Center for Observation and Operations on Maritime Data (CODOMAR) https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-25280-haiti-flash-dpc-and-codamar-deny-rumors-of-earthquake-and-tsunami.html it is the turn of the Ministry of Communication to condemn false alarmist messages circulating on social networks for a few days that predict the impending earthquake and tsunami in Haiti.

The Ministry wishes to point out that, despite advances in science, the day and the hour of an earthquake can not be announced in advance and invites to the reason the authors of these messages and all those who tend to relay them. The Ministry recalls that such behavior only tends to spread fear and panic among Haitian families.

The Ministry of Communication invites everyone to remain vigilant and to believe only the official notes from the institutions concerned or from credible organizations and media.
