IT CAN’T HAPPEN AGAIN

Posted January 15th, 2010 by weskid

I don’t know how. I don’t know where. I don’t know who. I do know that the mess that is the relief effort into Haiti, the mess of get­ting sim­ple water and food in, the mess of NO one being in con­trol or coor­di­nat­ing efforts to help these peo­ple, the mess of air­ports open­ing and shut­ting, the mess of it tak­ing days to get help, has to stop. This is an epic dis­as­ter and if we don’t learn some­thing from this, if we don’t learn how to have a 1st respon­der ini­tial team in place some­where, espe­cially with all the tech­nol­ogy avail­able to us, then we ought to be ashamed. Money is flow­ing in. Help is not. This can­not hap­pen again. Any­where. Any­time. Period.
