Two more deaths have been reported in Haiti associated with Tropical Storm Melissa, increasing the death toll to three.
Haiti's civil protection agency says a landslide in Port-au-Prince killed two people and injured another on Thursday.
Earlier this week, a large tree fell on an elderly man in southern Haiti and killed him, while five other people in the country's central region were injured in flooding.
Up to 36 centimetres or 14 inches of rain is forecast for southern Haiti and the southern Dominican Republic, with higher amounts possible through Sunday.
The storm has knocked out dozens of water supply systems in the neighbouring Dominican Republic, affecting nearly a million customers.
It has also downed trees and traffic lights and caused small landslides.
Melissa is the 13th named the storm of the Atlantic Hurricane season and the first name storm to form in the Caribbean this year.
