WHAT IS NEXT FOR HAITI? FROM INTERNATIONAL RELIEF TO RECOVRY AND RECONSTRUCTION TO HAITI’S HISTORIC LEGACY From the Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction

Very soon, the first phase of a historic emergency response and international relief will end in Haiti and it will again be time to do the right thing, which is a concerted and sustained international effort to rebuild Haiti and give Haitians a chance to create a new historic legacy.

OBJECTIVE To build capacity for disaster risk reduction rapidly in all Haitian sectors

OTHER OPTIONS INCLUDE DOING NOTHING, OR DOING THE WRONG THING (e.g. relocate all Haitians) AND LETTING HAITI DIE

AN “INTERNATIONAL RECOVERY FUND” COULD ENABLE HAITI TO START ON THE ROAD TO SELF SUFFICIENCY, BUT IT MUST BE USED WISELY AND WITH SUITABLE ACCOUNTABILITY

A concerted, coordinated, and sustained international effort to rebuild Haiti and Haitian lives should use an approach that balances science and engineering and the politics with reality.

THE GOAL

GOAL ESTABLISH AN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR DISASTER RISK REDUCTION THAT WILL BENEFIT FUTURE GENERATIONS OF HAITIANS AND HAITI’S CARIBBEAN BASIN NATIONS

URGENCY: START NOW! The 2010 hurricane season is only 4 ½ months away, and Haiti’s poverty cycle must be broken, not exacerbated again.

Balancing Science, Engineering and Politics with Reality

A HYPOTHESIS With Disaster recovery funds, and accountability, Haitians could start moving towards self sufficiency in future disasters during the recovery and reconstruction period. Af

REALITY IN HAITI Haiti needs immediate access to a “Haitian Recovery Fund” administered by an agency like the Inter-American Development Bank that can start engaging Haitian stakeholders and international donors in a long-term programme having institutional accountability.

Accountability A five-year demonstration period could provide metrics for measuring progress and assessing accountability.

POLITICS Any Haitian Recovery Fund should exist for the benefit of Haitians and be independent of local and international politics to the fullest extent possible.

REALITY IN HAITI Haiti needs everything: Sustainable food and water resources… Robust shelters and resilient housing, schools, hospitals, businesses,… Infrastructure: Roads, port, airfield, …

REALITY IN HAITI (continued) Haiti needs everything: Education with a relevant curriculum that penetrates all sectors of Haitian Society and equips children and adults alike for a future that includes disasters Business enterprise that will begin to lift Haitians out of poverty.

REALITY: Use existing Administrative Model A Haitian Recovery Fund could be administered using an existing international “Model” that assigns accountability to an “Executive Board.”

THE EXECUTIVE BOARD: An Example The “Executive Board” might include Haitian President Rene Preval, the UN Secretary-General, and experienced high-level representatives of selected UN agencies, and other institutions and organizations.

SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING Haiti is located in a geographic area prone to disasters caused by earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and landslides, …, and the 2010 hurricane season is only 5 months away

REALITY Haiti needs everything, but nothing should be built without full consideration of the potential disaster risk and the benefit/cost.

HAITI IS LOCATED ON THE GONAVE MICRO-PLATE

HAITI’S POVERTY EXACERBATED BY PAST DISASTERS Mudslides caused by Hurricane Gordon killed more than 1,000 people in 1994 Hurricane Georges killed more than 400 and destroyed most of the crops in 1998.

HAITI’S POVERTY EXACERBATED BY PAST DISASTERS In 2004, heavy rains from Hurricane Jeanne caused landslides and flooding that killed more than 3,000 people, mostly in the city of Gonaives.

HAITI’S POVERTY EXACERBATED BY PAST DISASTERS Haiti was hit in 2008, by four severe windstorms: tropical storm Fay and hurricanes Hanna, Gustav, and Ike. Damage was estimated at $ 1 billion.

The bottom line: An unprecedented concerted, coordinated, and sustained international effort that gives Haitians a future and a chance to create a historic legacy is the right thing to do.

THE KEY IS: 1) KNOW THE DISASTER HISTORY OF YOUR REGION 2) KNOW YOUR COMMUNITY Lesson
