Haiti Mission Crew For Disaster Management

By Amanda Bean


You must have heard people in your neighborhood o school talk about Haiti mission. Well, this is an undertaking by representatives in different states to help raise the country back to its feet after going through a natural disaster that left many dead, millions wounded and property of huge value destroyed. Every plan in place seeks to help the country to get back to its feet and make a forward move.

The disaster that hit this country was one of the most dangerous kinds ever reported in its entire history. It actually led to the loss of many lives and the destruction of valuable property. What makes it even worst is that the fatalities that took place happened within a very small, precisely within 100KM within the region of Port-au-Prince, killing about twenty-five percent of the entire population in this region.

International bodies and state representatives such as the United Nations, the Government in the United States, the European Commission had to take part to help the country in such an hour of need. It is obvious that the earth tremor that occurred in this place did not only kill many but also left many people homeless and without hope. When the representatives came to this country, they had a common goal, to address the material and social requirements of its people.

The team was helpful in a great way, they helped people by sharing food with them as well as enough water to drink on a regular basis. They provided temporary shelter for protection during the renovation process. Again, the team was helpful because it emphasized on the need for proper hygiene among the inhabitants of Haiti.

The UNEP initiated a program in this country that would see the people becoming economically stable. Through the HRI, the vulnerability of disasters and poverty in the country would reduce. The plan seeks to restore the ecosystem of the country and improve the lives of the people through effective management of natural resources.

When the disaster took place, it left a lot of debris that needed proper management. All the debris required proper collection, sorting, appropriate treatment type and effective disposals. This act alone made the management team an ideal part in disaster control. There are many non-governmental organization that help by taking part in the activity.

Primarily, common debris actually came from residential building, commercial settings and construction sites. Some reports show that the collected debris that was in large amount was the hollow bricks and the concrete structure. There were unbroken bricks that could be reused and therefore people took part in gathering them together for that very purpose.

There is a need to prevent high magnitudes like these in future but to realize this, the Haiti mission crew dealing with disaster management must be ready to ask and answer tough and deep questions about the country. The possibility of another danger, of course of a huge magnitude, in this state may take place at any time and cause many deaths, perhaps more in figure than what is already lost. People in authority should know the actual step to take to save people and the resources of the country.
