Introduction

On twelfth of January the largest earthquake was recorded in Haiti and it destroyed almost every part of the country. The quake had a magnitude of seven, and heavy shocks were recorded after it. The natives of the country told how everybody was scared during this Haiti earthquake disaster. Communication facilities were stopped by this earthquake, so complete information has been bounded. First news report told that 1000s of buildings destroyed, resulting undiscovered numbers of citizens entrapped, and tens of 1000s of citizens became homeless on the roads. The people are helpless they have nothing to eat and wear.

Approximately forty-five thousand United States citizens reside in Haiti, and the Embassy has been required to assist calculate for around three thousand of them. Depicting circumstances in his land as unthinkable, Rene Preval is doing his best to make the world contribute in every way to help the people suffered from Haiti earthquake disaster. Their first priority is to care for the people survived in Haiti earthquake disaster. Other presidencies enclosed an offshore vas medical unit of measurement and energy making capacity. The regime also called for communication system so that the officials of government can better perform and co-ordinate reaction attempts.

Discussion

The Haitian regime, the UN, and other spokespersons assembled in Haiti on Jan fourteen to co-ordinate their attempts. The reaching of human-centered provisions has commenced, but approach to Haitian capital and the dispersion of assistance to citizens in demand is hard and cramped through a number of considerable challenges that are blocking the attempts and motility. Citizens are coming together in open places and a few are reportedly departing from Haitian capital to different regions in Haiti.

A response like this engenders a sense of weariness and defeat. It has been endlessly repeated in history, yet human organisation, resources, science and technology are perfectly capable of improving it. As sentient beings we are all responsible for the failure to protect, though obviously some of us are more responsible than others, yet the attitudes revealed in debate on the tragedy suggest that no one is assuming that responsibility. Yet regression back to the concept of "Act of God" betokens not only negligence but also a somewhat insulting attitude to the Higher Power who, many people believe, gave us the ability to think and act.

To return from the local to the global scale, we live in an epoch in which human resources are regarded as cheap and expendable. The dominance of capital over labour means that the world economy lacks concern with the need to protect its workforces (Alexander 2000: 98). It has therefore failed to promote an adequate global effort to reduce the impact of disasters. Hence, in the 21st century the world's least developed areas, many of which are in high mountain ranges, are only as well protected as they were 250 years ago--or worse off, given the rise in populations and diffusion of an aseismic mass-produced building stock (Kalvoda and Rosenfeld 1998, Xu ...
