Eric Calais was heavily involved in the aftermath of the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, both as a scientist[21] and as an advisor to the Haitian government and its international partners[22] He co-chaired the Working Group on the Haiti Earthquake at the United Nations in 2010 and worked in Haiti from 2010 to 2012 as a scientific advisor to the United Nations, where he promoted and applied disaster risk reduction practices in the country's reconstruction.[23] He describes his experience in a book in French entitled Science et conscience dans le post-urgence du séisme d'Haïti.[24]
