Its worth pointing out that any operators sent there who either volunteer or are getting paid will most likely be sleeping in a camp like situation set up by Red Cross or the military, living conditions will be harsh, theres no Mc Donalds or Hooters to attend. Cold beer would be a Luxury, even to get ice would be an accomplishment.
It most certainly wouldn't be a picnic as some think, nice warm weather sure but the trade offs are HUGE.
To those who fail to understand the reason Hati is so poor, not only is their government twice as corrupt as any American government, they have little to steal in the first place because Hati really has very few raw materials for export. Couple that with little to no manufactuering sector and you have tourism left...and then they are at the bottom of the barrel there because people are quite simply scared of that island.
The international efforts will do fine, Mexico is pitching in, England is pitching in, China, alot of heavyweight rich countries will do what they can. America is pledging support and we see the dollar sign, often that isn't what they get, nobody hands them a cheque and says "here, this is for you" they get supplies like food, concrete, medical equipment, electrical grid support, and so on. That huge number we see in the media is by no means cash.
I'd go ifn I had a passport
