Since March, the Haitian government has been relocating earthquake survivors out of areas at risk for flood and mudslide damage, to camps outside Port-au-Prince as the country prepares for tropical summer rains, according the U.N. news center.

The rains will make life complicated and dangerous for the over 1 million Haitians left without proper shelter.

On Saturday, AFP reported that Haitian President Rene Preval said, "We should consider this country to be in a state of constant danger, we have to confront all the problems at the same time because the rainy season is coming."

Over the weekend, about 200 families precariously camped on a city golf-course were being relocated to one of the safer camps, Corail Cesselesse, according to the BBC. The camp will may hold 7,500 residents.
