Haiti Mission Crew For Disaster Management

By Amanda Bean


The state stands in the Caribbean region, sharing the island of Hispaniola with the Republic of Santo Domingo. Being the poorest country in the Western region with over eighty percent of its population living below the poverty level, this state seems to have lost its place in the global hemisphere. The Haiti mission plan by international representative and United Nation sought to bring the country back to its feet.


Each disaster that befell this country left it with unforgotten scars and some are regarded as the most dangerous events in the state. The catastrophes caused the death of many people and destruction of a lot of property. If you do a proper search on the internet about the disasters that hit this country, you will realize that the dangers actually took place within a circumference of 100KM leaving the other places barely untouched.

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.

The most common debris discovered after the disaster took place were those from buildings and construction sites. The most common forms of the construction materials whose sample report were collected were reinforced concrete structure and the hollow bricks. A collection of unbroken hollowed brinks for reuse took place and the inhabitants took the initiative to collect reinforcing bars as scrap irons.

There is a need to prevent the occurrence of dangers such as this in the future times. This means that the Haiti mission crew, whose task to help in the management of dangers must ask themselves tough yet real life questions and find relevant answers as well. In fact, the people on authority seats should know what to do in order to handle such problems.
