Natural disasters represent a threat to life and the minimum conditions of survival for millions of people can be compromised. On January 12, 2010 Haiti was ravaged by one of the most devastating earthquakes throughout its history. Rescue teams from around the world arrived in the country for humanitarian aid.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of records of travellers who sought pretravel medical advice at Travellers’ Clinic of HCFMUSP in January, 2010 with travel to Haiti for Humanitarian Aid. All the professional staff of the clinic was informed about the action and in 24 hours the group created a strategy to address the cluster of fast and efficient way without compromising the routine of the clinic. General information about the aspects: cultural, historical, political and economic on Haiti were discussed with all volunteers. In the guidance on the prevention of infectious diseases, were emphasized: the risks of disease through food and water, vectors, animals and air pollution. RESULTS: 98 professionals were attended, 78 (79,6%) male, the median age was 38,9 years old. Professionals categories: healthcare workers (29,6%); military personal (38,7%); phone technician (17,3%) and others professionals (14,2%).
