In 2004, Hurricane Jeanne swept through the historical port city of Gonaïves in Haiti, sending walls of water and mud down the surrounding slopes and changing the face of the city forever. A project managed by the International Labour Organization (ILO) has been helping local residents organize themselves to build erosion control networks to protect the city from future mudslides and heavy run-off. ILO TV reports.

Remember that videos with captions display the small "CC" logo at the bottom of the player. You can activate them by clicking the menu button located on the bottom right of the video player. Clicking this button will also allow you to choose which caption track you want to see. If captions are available, but not in a language you prefer, you can try the machine translation feature. Open the captions menu just as if picking a caption track, but click on the "Translate..." button. For more information, have a look at http://www.youtube.com/t/captions_about

*En 2004, le cyclone Jeanne s'est abattu sur la ville portuaire des Gonaïves, en Haïti, précipitant des murs deau et des coulées de boue sur les pentes alentour et bouleversant la physionomie de la ville pour toujours. Grâce à un projet dirigé par l'Organisation internationale du Travail (OIT), les habitants de la région ont pu s'organiser pour établir des réseaux de contrôle de l'érosion, afin de protéger la ville des coulées de boue et des inondations. Ce reportage de la Télévision de l'OIT présente le fonctionnement et les bienfaits de ce projet.

**En 2004, el huracán Juana azotó la ciudad portuaria de Gonaïves, en Haití, arrojando muros de agua y lodo por las vertientes de las colinas que la rodean y cambiando para siempre el aspecto de la ciudad. Gracias a un proyecto dirigido por la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT), los habitantes de la región lograron organizarse para construir redes de control de la erosión, que protegen a la ciudad contra los deslizamientos de tierra y las inundaciones. Este reportaje de la Televisión de la OIT muestra el funcionamiento y las ventajas de este proyecto.
