In 1999, an earthquake hit the town of Armenia, Colombia, killing 1,200 people and leveling two-thirds of the buildings. Tens of thousands were left homeless.
The resulting reconstruction effort won a United Nations prize. Today, Haiti’s interior minister visited Armenia to see what lessons could be learned for his country.
