NEW YORK – The massive loss of lives and buildings in Haiti could have been prevented if earthquake resistant designs and materials had been used, said a US study released Tuesday.

Late in the afternoon of January 12 Stanley Clermont, 23, was doing some laundry in his back yard in the suburbs of Port-au-Prince. His world seemed to contain considerable promise.

Megacities are something new on the planet. Earthquakes are something very old.

Updated - spokesperson returned to clarify some things.

MINUSTAH spokesperson gave me this map, which they provide to NGOs. Red zones mean UN staff are advised not to go there under any circumstances. Yellow zones mean they should be cautious, "because they used to be filled with red spots," but there are no formal restrictions. Green (covering Petionville only) indicates residential areas with no history of insecurity, he said.

And yet, rumors abound that two aid workers were just kidnapped in the green zone.

The spokesperson said MINUSTAH recommends aid groups are accompanied by a security detail wherever they go and that the majority of them do request assistance from UN or Haitian forces. He said MINUSTAH is meeting 100% of the requests made for security accompaniment.

Animal groups pledge $1.1M dollars for long-term animal aid in Haiti
3/4/10 -- Animal Relief Coalition Of Haiti (ARCH) announced a $1.1 million
agreement with the Haitian government to improve and repair animal welfare
conditions in the aftermath of January's ruinous earthquake. Over 20 animal
protection groups worldwide, including Kinship Circle, formed ARCH under
joint leadership of World Society For Protection of Animals and
International Fund For Animal Welfare. The ambitious long-term plan covers:

* DISEASE PREVENTION NETWORK: To protect people and animals from disease
outbreaks, a laboratory and staff will carry out targeted vaccination
campaigns for Rabies, Anthrax and other diseases.

* VETERINARY TRAINING: Our goal is to train at least 200 Haitian
veterinarians and vet technicians for current/future animal welfare
issues.

* VACCINATION COLD STORAGE: A "cold chain" is crucial to keep vaccinations
fresh and stable through delivery.

* ANIMAL POPULATION STUDIES: Haiti's animal demographics have changed
dramatically due to recent disasters. Updated data is vital to reach
animals.

ARCH's mobile vet clinic makes rounds to underserved areas such as Pelerin
where Haitians line-up to have animals vaccinated. According to the Haitian
Ministry of Agriculture, there are some 5 million farmed animals in Haiti
(not including domestic fowl), and about 500,000 dogs in Port-au-Prince.

Why Haiti's animals, when animals everywhere need help?
Kinship Circle Animal Disaster Aid made a promise to help Haiti's animals
after one of the most devastating earthquakes in modern times. ARCH's
enduring plan to coordinate veterinarians, clinics, vaccines...gives these
animals a chance in future disasters and daily survival.

...Underneath a fully equipped veterinary mobile clinic! As of March 4,
2010, ARCH has treated over 4000 animals, including many dogs, goats, sheep,
cats, pigs, cows, horses, donkeys and domestic fowl. In the photo above,
Kenny, 10, said his dog Vito had "been sick for a long time, but I don't
know any vets and don't have money." ARCH gave Vito antibiotics and vitamins
and will check the dog's progress... Photos: IFAW/WSPA for ARCH

Animal groups pledge $1.1M dollars for long-term animal aid in Haiti
3/4/10 -- Animal Relief Coalition Of Haiti (ARCH) announced a $1.1 million
agreement with the Haitian government to improve and repair animal welfare
conditions in the aftermath of January's ruinous earthquake. Over 20 animal
protection groups worldwide, including Kinship Circle, formed ARCH under
joint leadership of World Society For Protection of Animals and
International Fund For Animal Welfare. The ambitious long-term plan covers:

* DISEASE PREVENTION NETWORK: To protect people and animals from disease
outbreaks, a laboratory and staff will carry out targeted vaccination
campaigns for Rabies, Anthrax and other diseases.

* VETERINARY TRAINING: Our goal is to train at least 200 Haitian
veterinarians and vet technicians for current/future animal welfare
issues.

* VACCINATION COLD STORAGE: A "cold chain" is crucial to keep vaccinations
fresh and stable through delivery.

* ANIMAL POPULATION STUDIES: Haiti's animal demographics have changed
dramatically due to recent disasters. Updated data is vital to reach
animals.

ARCH's mobile vet clinic makes rounds to underserved areas such as Pelerin
where Haitians line-up to have animals vaccinated. According to the Haitian
Ministry of Agriculture, there are some 5 million farmed animals in Haiti
(not including domestic fowl), and about 500,000 dogs in Port-au-Prince.

Why Haiti's animals, when animals everywhere need help?
Kinship Circle Animal Disaster Aid made a promise to help Haiti's animals
after one of the most devastating earthquakes in modern times. ARCH's
enduring plan to coordinate veterinarians, clinics, vaccines...gives these
animals a chance in future disasters and daily survival.

WHY AM I HERE? We highly recommend you view our friend Tom McPhee's
extraordinary short, "Why Am I Here?" Tom, Executive Director of World
Animal Awareness Society -- and creator of the Katrina animal rescue film,
American Opera -- explains why he traveled to earthquake-stricken Haiti to
film animal rescue operations with SODOPRECA. The film's rich texture and
breathtaking scenes will make you feel as if you went with him:
