UPDATE – FROM THE FIELD: Day 2- January 18, 2010
All good- not much sleep- heading out down into Delmas neighbourhood(5-10miles from airport) – so far, we have established 1 POD(point of disto) outside the house where we r staying- just so those of u checking in know, the plan here is- we r setting up or identifying distribution points as we go along for our return in February (this info will also be passed along to other orgs/ngos coming in)the reason for this is so we can feed these “PODS” with supplies coming in from the nearby airport
will advise- THX, EK Read more
– just left St Louis Highschool- (completely demolished) -1500-2000 people surviving in make shift tents – this would be the most ideal place for distribution of goods and medical servs- close to the airport, easier to set up and manage- only thing coming in is water- which tends to cause small riots because there is NOT enough- people just trying to survive- please contact North Face- or any sporting good co for tents!! we r in process of setting up logistics for receiving – will advise-
Becky – see if u can get in touch with several of these co’s and start the process- thx u! ek
