The President on Haiti: "The first Waves of our Rescue and Relief workers are on the Ground and at Work.."
I have just discovered the White House Blog and the gripping page in the New York Times with photos of missing people in the earth quake submitted by friends, family members and colleagues. In addition, even social communications media like Facebook have quickly made good use of its now long established international channels and formed a number groups on the search for Haiti victims and for fund raising. The first videoclips on the catastrophy were indeed posted at You Tube.
Raol Castro and Barack Obama are communicating - cooperating - over using Cuban air space for speedy American relief crafts.
Yes, we have come to learn a lot on the painful road in relief, assisting and communication during our Planet´s many disasters. The reporting and relief efforts are increasingly speeded up and effective.
But I just wonder tonight: "Why was there no premonition at all on the upcoming disaster? No seismic activities registered anywhere?"
"If an earthquake were to threaten San Fransisco - how early in advance would its citizens be able to find out and be informed?"
