Haiti Wants Say In Rebuilding

Haiti's President, Rene Preval

Haiti's President, Rene Preval, stated his government wants a say in rebuilding his earthquake ravaged nation. Thus far, billions in donations have poured in, with an eye on rebuilding Haiti for the future.

Haiti should oversee the projects to their specifications. However, they should employ the world's best consultants, some may even work for a nominal fee or for free, due to the tragic circumstances, to help chart a course for rebuilding in a somewhat precarious seismological situation.

As with Louisiana (levees) in America, Haiti (very active fault lines) has distinct geographic features that can cause massive loss of life, if and when a natural disaster strikes. Therefore, thorough seismological surveys and earthquake resistant building codes and plans will need to be implemented and enforced. Retrofitting existing structures would be beneficial as well.

The Judiciary Report is confident Haiti has the skill, intelligence and labor to rebuild better than ever. Best wishes for the future.
