You must have heard people in your neighborhood o school talk about Haiti mission. Well, this is an undertaking by representatives in different states to help raise the country back to its feet after going through a natural disaster that left many dead, millions wounded and property of huge value destroyed. Every plan in place seeks to help the country to get back to its feet and make a forward move.

The main report on the disaster that hit this country few years back states that it was the worst that has ever happened in the history of humankind. Many people did not just lose their lives and property of value wasted, but also renovating the country would prove quite difficult. The killing, however, did not affect the whole country, instead, it took place within Port-au-Prince, leaving regions 100KM safe.

International bodies and state representatives such as the United Nations, the Government in the United States, the European Commission had to take part to help the country in such an hour of need. It is obvious that the earth tremor that occurred in this place did not only kill many but also left many people homeless and without hope. When the representatives came to this country, they had a common goal, to address the material and social requirements of its people.

The representatives helped the impacted people through regular supply of food and water. They also provided them with temporary shelters to lay their heads through the times of renovation. In addition, the team took an initiative to address the need of sanitation among the people in this state.

The UNEP initiated a program in this country that would see the people becoming economically stable. Through the HRI, the vulnerability of disasters and poverty in the country would reduce. The plan seeks to restore the ecosystem of the country and improve the lives of the people through effective management of natural resources.

The series of disasters that took place in this country left a lot of waste that required proper management. Essentially, the debris requires collection, sorting, treatment and proper disposal. The team that came to help in the management of disasters, therefore, became an integral part in disaster management. Most non-governmental organizations became part of this disaster management program.

Primarily, common debris actually came from residential building, commercial settings and construction sites. Some reports show that the collected debris that was in large amount was the hollow bricks and the concrete structure. There were unbroken bricks that could be reused and therefore people took part in gathering them together for that very purpose.

There is really an urge for the Haiti mission crew to make sure that disasters of high magnitude such as earthquakes do not take place and if they do, they do not cause anyone problems. Of course, this is a difficult plan to realize. Even then, there is need to do at least what is possible within human ability to prevent such disasters from taking place because they lead to negative results.
