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.

Most of the international bodies like the Government of the United States, the United Nation UNEP, the Red Cross troops, European Commissions and many other governmental and non-governmental organizations took part in addressing the problems that these people faced. The dangerous and terrific earth tremor that took place in this state left so many people hopeless and homeless as well. Most of the representatives therefore who came to this state had an intention of addressing the material and social needs of people affected by this problem.

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.

There was, in addition, the need to have a control over disaster vulnerability and poverty in this state. For this reason, the United Nations Environmental Program came up with a program by the name the Haiti Renovation Initiative. There is hope that the plan will help to restore the ecosystem of the country and bring and bring about an improvement in the general well being of the people and the state at large.

It is important to note that after major perils took place, Haiti was left with a lot of waste and debris, which required a lot of management. Proper management of the debris includes collection, sorting, treatment process and effective disposals. This means that the mission team would be an important part in the management of the effects of perils.

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.
