Earthquake Of Haiti
In memory of our relatives and friends who perished in the earthquake of January 12, 2010. Thirty-five seconds changed the destiny of an entire nation, more than 300,000 dead and 1.5 million homeless. We've paid a heavy toll to the nature.
What did we learn from this Apocalypse? -Not much. They told that houses are built without regulations, there are many more people living in Port-au-Prince and its close cities than before.
Did you know that earthquake is still an imminent threat for Haiti?

    social and economic impacts of haiti and japan earthquakes

    The disaster will weigh on Japan's economic growth through negative impact on consumption, capex projection, and lower capacity to ship export. On the other hand, reconstruction demand in the phase of recovery will have positive impact on reconstruction of housing, replacement of production equipments (i.e. capex), government expenditure, and public investment. If we aggregate those negative and positive impacts, quarterly real GDP growth will be pushed down by a total of -2.1% points for Jan-Mar and Apr-Jun quarters. But reconstruction demand thereafter will push up real GDP growth rates for Jul-Sep and Oct-Dec quarters by a total of +0.9% points. Those said, we revise down our real GDP forecast for FY2011 to almost zero%. The earthquake will have negative impact both on actual household consumption expenditure and on their sentiments, which, in turn, will make households increase precautionary saving. However, strong reconstruction demand in the recovery phase will result in a +2.3% real GDP growth for FY2012. On the price front, we point out that the impact of the disaster will be inflationary rather than deflationary.…

    Tragedy In Jen Elgersma's Life

    It only takes a glimpse of time to take someones life and turn it upside down. October 31, 2013 was the day that Jen Elgersma’s life was struck by tragedy. Elgersma dropped her three year old daughter Autumn off to daycare like a normal day, little did Elgersma know that was the last time Autumn would ever go to daycare.

    Compare And Contrast Haitiia And The 2010 Earthquake

    While both the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake of Northern California, and the 2010 earthquake that devastated Port au Prince, and surrounding areas in Haiti, were very similar in magnitude (6.9 California, and 7.0 in Haiti), there is great contrast in the number of lives lost due to these natural disasters, with 63 dead in Santa Cruz county, and an estimated 220,000 lives lost in Haiti. From a geographical standpoint, the town of Léogâne was at the epicenter, of Haiti’s 2010 earthquake, the United Nations claims that this was “the worst affected area” with notable damage occurring to approximately 90% of the buildings in the area, and over 20,000 lives lost.

    January 12th 2010 4:53PM, the phone rang….Hispaniola whom which I call Haiti was bawling. Her heart, Port-au-prince, was completely ruined, she bleed and bleed and heard the bones intensively crashing brutally against each other until they converted into ashes. Her green dress metamorphosed into a white costume, her veins and arteries were ripped… she had no shelter. Once she realized that her brain was damaged, a depression impulsively engulfed her body and left her with nothing more than a reprieving sound that whispers” Help”. For this cause, I played a concrete role in the reconstruction of Haiti by founding an school organization for aiding intentions, educating and helping the Haitians Students survivors in the US, and providing assistance…

    Research Paper On Haiti Earthquake

    It was 4:53 p.m. in Port-au-Prince, Haiti on January 12, 2010. The hustle and bustle of a routine Tuesday afternoon had began to die down, but that particular day was far from over. In fact, this day, this dream, this nightmare, was just beginning. All of a sudden, the ground began to shake as an earthquake rocked the Caribbean country. A estimated magnitude 7 earthquake had occurred and nearly 50 aftershocks followed. The quake was the most powerful experienced by the country in over two centuries, and it left 316,000 people dead while forcing another million people to permanently evacuate from their homes (“Haiti Earthquake of 2010”). There is no doubt that along with the physical, tangible effects of this disaster came the unseen emotional and mental horrors associated with a traumatic event like an earthquake that permanently displaced someone and killed many of their loved ones.…

    On January 12, 2012, the country of Haiti was struck by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake that changed the lives of people living across the nation. The earthquake struck Haiti before 5pm and was centered about 10 miles South East of Port-au-Prince, which is the capital city of Haiti. This earthquake is known as one of the most powerful earthquakes of the century that hit the Eastern parts of Cuba. Prior to the earthquake Haiti acquired the lowest immunization rates in the world (55%) and disease was very common, as well as extreme poverty, political unrest and weak infrastructure (Hinman, “Cholera Vaccination in Haiti; Evidence, Ethel, Expedience”). In results of the earthquake in Haiti, Haiti has been left in a poorer economic condition than before. Due to this natural disaster, many innocent lives were taken away.

    Haiti Earthquake

    The Social Impacts of the earthquake left people homeless, the Haitian homes were not earthquake resistant as this was the biggest earthquake that Hispaniola has had so they did not prepare for it , the last earthquake occurred in Dominican Republic. The earthquake left the country with a disease called cholera, the food shortage in Haiti meant that the people who are homeless will not be able to get food so they will starve to death or get really skinny and weak. The buildings in Haiti were not structured for taken in earthquake so the cost to rebuild will be a lot of money mainly because the government building was destroyed plus homes and work places are gone as well. The crime rates will go up because then prisons will clasped and if they survive they go steal food ,cars etc.…

    Essay On Haitian Earthquake

    Before the earthquake, Haiti was already a country with high prevalence of infant mortality, poor nutrition, and diseases such as HIV and Turberclosis. In Haiti ,“An estimated 87 of every 1,000 children born die by the age of 5 years, and >25% of surviving children experience chronic undernutrition or stunted growth. Maternal mortality rate is 630 per 100,000 live births.” (SITE) The life expectancy in Haiti is 61 years. Due to low vaccination rates, Haitians are at risk of spreading vaccine preventable diseases. Due to the high numbers of poverty, only about 50 percent of the haitian population has access to healthcare. Before the earthquake, “ only 63% of Haiti’s population had access to an improved drinking water source (e.g., water from a well or pipe), and only 17% had access to a latrine .” (SITE) Since the earthquake, the number of people with access to clean water and proper sanitation has decreased.…
