Using satellite-derived data on precipitation, gridded air temperature, and hurricane path and with information on water and sanitation (WASH) infrastructure, we tracked changing environmental conditions conducive for growth of pathogenic vibrios. Based on these data, we predicted and validated the likelihood of cholera cases occurring past hurricane. The risk of cholera in the southwestern part of Haiti remained relatively high since November 2016 to the present. Findings of this study provide a contemporary process for monitoring ground conditions that can guide public health intervention to control cholera in human population by providing access to vaccines, safe WASH facilities. Assuming current social and behavioral patterns remain constant, it is recommended that WASH infrastructure should be improved and considered a priority especially before 2017 rainy season.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.17-0048","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,25]],"date-time":"2017-07-25T07:00:45Z","timestamp":1500966045000},"page":"896-903","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Assessment
