10. Infrastructure after the Earthquake “ There are no patterns of traffic, no recognizable right of ways, no sense of order to the mass chaos in and around the capital Port au Prince — the epicenter of the massive quake.” –World Focus
12. 10-Year Strategic Plan Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them, for God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah. Then people will settle there and possess it; the children of his servants will inherit it, and those who love his name will dwell there. -Psalm 69:34-36

Area : 27,750 sq. km. About the size of Maryland Capital: Port-au-Prince 2.35 million people prior to the earthquake Terrain : Rugged mountains with small coastal plains and river valleys, and a large east-central elevated plateau. Climate : Warm, semiarid, high humidity in many coastal areas. Natural resources : Bauxite, copper, calcium carbonate, gold, marble.
- “In 1923 forests covered nearly 60 percent of the country; today they cover less than 2 percent.” –Global Security -Rapid deforestation=#1 environmental issue in Haiti today -Think about wildlife, food source, climate change, etc.
-The severity of Haiti’s deforestation -Dominican Republic is neighboring country
Deforestation CAUSED by dependence on charcoal Sources of energy: Charcoal- 75% Hydroelectricity- 5% Petroleum products- 20% When you remove forests, the topsoil washes away. The earth isn't capable of absorbing rainfall. Without top soil erosion & proper infrastructure, f looding becomes extremely deadly Soil erosion severely hurt agriculture industry People migrated to cities to find jobs Poverty & slums Desperately need alternative energy!!!
Almost no infrastructure No roads, side walks Open water sewage system- not reliable, gets trashed No drainage system- flooding No building codes- unstable houses Deadly during earthquakes No ownership of land- overcrowding & waste
Obliterated the little infrastructure that existed Most of the population are living in tents without a community constantly feeling lost and out of place. There is no sense of belongingness, community and place. Destroyed already feeble telecommunication system Without basic infrastructure and reliable communication system, rescue teams have difficulty delivering aid Radio- main source of communication Less than 2 per cent of the population have a home phone (-Globe & Mail) Use of mobile phones, however, has increased to 33%
Trash-filled beaches and sewers Immediate need for clean water No waste management system- dump on streets One landfill for all of Haiti Need waste management and water purification system
Current Problem: Only about one-third of the country's land is considered suitable for cultivation because of the rugged terrain, over 33% of the land was actually being used for crop and feed production in 1998. Haiti has a lot of land that can be suitable for energetic forests. A good way to supply the need for fuel wood and fight deforestation. (Protect the natural resources for current and future sustainability of Haiti) Current Problem: Haiti has good agricultural soil yet, it has not been cultivated. With such good soil, Haiti has the utmost potential to become the leading food/energy producers through agriculture. Soil restoration is a must for Haiti. Due to top soil runoff and soil instability, there is constant flooding and topographic change that further leads to externalities such surface and groundwater contamination/pollution. Lack of motivation to change due to ignorance of the soil's condition

Martissant:critical medical equipment, such as X-ray films, and necessities such as fuel for generators,
Telemedicine: Use of telecommunications technology for medical diagnosis and patient care when the provider and client are separated by distance. Telemedicine includes pathology, radiology, and patient consultation from the distance.
In a given situation, it is also important to be familiarized with the communities you are in to mobilize and maximize the resources they have. Know the communities first. understand the culture and value system before attempting to educate and change it
