Disaster Preparedness Is No Accident

As I always say: “It’s the first time you don’t want to experience when it comes to something bad happening to you in your life.” This is true. Think of a housefire, It’s the first one you don’t want to experience. An earthquake, a hurricane etc etc.

It is the first time you don’t want to experience. Now it’s not the actual; disaster itself you should be thinking about because that you can’t help, if it’s a natural disaster that is. So it’s not the disaster it’s the part of NOT being prepared that you don’t want to experience. Imagine for a moment your town or region of the country, get’s hit with a Blizzard, and you experience a power outage but yet you don’t have any batteries for your flashlight, or a generator that can run a small heater and light and tv. Or perhaps you take a road trip but yet you don’t have a spare or a jack or flares or a blanket etc.

Being Disaster Prepared means to be Prepared for anything. As the American Red Cross Says; Be Red Cross Ready.

Disaster: Haiti Needs Toilets as Much as Food and Water

food distribution photo: LA Times

That’s right the Associated Press has reported that amongst the major concerns, the lack of latrines has entered the top three. The need for water and food for over one million homeless has been there since the earthquake first hit. Now over two weeks into this ordeal a new threat has developed and that is the lack of toilets. At present there are on average one latrine per 2000 people.

The homeless has crowded into the capital city of Port-Au-Prince leaving no empty spaces and no place to dig for latrines. Unicef is on site and trying to coordinate water and sanitation. As of Saturday they are digging latrines for approxiamately 20,000 people. They are expecting about 1,100 squatting platforms for the camps in which they will be partitioned off with sheets of plastic for some privacy.

Billions are being sent to Haiti, Will it make it and will it be used properly?

It happened in New Orleans, it happened in Iraq and it will probably happen in Haiti as well, especially since we have experience in Haiti. What you ask? The disappearance of our tax dollars. In Iraq over $800 million dollars of our money disappeared in just days out of a guarded  storage facility. In New Orleans, fraud was widespread and the Housing Authority as well as FEMA reported hundreds of cases of fraud. One person embezzled 900k. A Mississippi Mayor and his wife were arrested and indicted on 16 counts of fraud for more than 220k and the list goes on and on and on.
