hawaii and chile
With so much going on with Haiti now we have Hawaii and Chile to think about. The tsunami was supposed to hit the island around 405 pm that day, so they were trying to evacuate the island all that morning and afternoon. The Hawaiin government was telling everybody to get to higher ground, where as chill was hit harder then Haiti with a 8.8 earthquake, but they were more prepared to deal with it, even though they are in a lot of trouble.Hawaii was saying that they had to shut down the sewage pumps, so it would not contaminate the water system. The Hawaiin government was trying to caution their people even though the tsunami did not hit at the expected time.The government was telling people they where still in danger. I believe that we need to have world fundraisers not just from the people in Haiti but a national fund disaster fund. This way if something happened in the world we are not struggling to find away to help. The way technology is you think we would have a better way to help our people and neighbors without draining our own resources. They even had an expert on Heraldo talking about what to do. One thing he said is not to stand in the door ways or under the table. If your under the table it can collapse on you and they had a lot of amputations for that reason and if you are in the door way the building can still collapse on you. You need to be outside and away from any falling debris. My heart goes out to these people, but i think we really need a national disaster relief fund to help people around the world.
