Primary Disaster Response Team

After watching the Frontline Documentary on Haiti and the earthquake, I couldn't help but finally start putting some thoughts on paper. I have had many ideas regarding the co-ordination of the response, from the need for immediate air drops of water and food, to the need to focus on saving the limbs of the survivors rather than digging for the few survivors that we could in the rubble. As everyone who has been through first aide training knows, the first thing is to not make yourself another victim. I have a document started, and I'll start sharing my ideas over the next few days. If anyone would like to contribute to this thought process, send me an email at nicholashwong@gmail.com and I will send you the draft document for your ideas. If you're interested in watching the documentary yourself you can find it at frontline.
