Haiti Mission Crew For Disaster Management

By Amanda Bean


Haiti is a small country located within the regions of the Caribbean and it shares Hispaniola Island with the Santo Domingo Republic. The country is famous for its poverty state in the western region because a larger number of its population earns less than $1USD a day. Perhaps this could be because of the regular earth tremors, which many Haiti Mission disaster management crew are trying their best to control.

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.

The problems of this country actually became a concern of so many international bodies including the United Nation, the government of the United States of America, the European Commission. In actual sense, the incident that occurred left so many people without hope and homes as well. The mission team to this state, therefore, was going to focus on helping people meet their material and social needs.

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.

The debris most collected came from residential and business buildings and the sites where constructions took place. Reinforced concrete and the hollow bricks were the debris collected in bulk. A program was put in place to help with the collection of reusable hollowed bricks. In addition, the people living in this region were to take an initiative to gather all the 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.
