Haiti 2010: When Disaster Is Compounded by Chaos &
Confusion By Theodore (Ted) Tully In 2010, Haiti was devastated with a 7.1-magnitude earthquake
that exposed vulnerabilities in its healthcare system and other critical
infrastructures. U.S. government agencies and numerous NGOs rapidly responded
to provide critical resources needed. This lessons-learned report highlighted
how New York City’s Mount Sinai Hospital accelerated its pre-planning
process, the preparation of healthcare volunteers, the procurement of medical
supplies and equipment, and the dispatch to Port au Prince of an
all-volunteer medical relief team. Similar resources from U.S. organizations
have been deployed to assist with the 7.2-magnitude earthquake that hit the
same region on 14 August 2021. |
