Haiti Earthquake

So if you haven't heard about the earthquate in Haiti you're probably not reading this blog. NYT ran a piece today about how there is aid but it can't be distributed effectively due to infrastructure issues and communication system failures.

Everything thinks about infrastructure (roads/trains) in natural disasters because they are usually broken down in the events. What I think gets missed is that bad infrastructure planning, development, and funding is a huge issue daily for some nations.

Here's hoping the disaster in Haiti is being handled efficiently and with enough humanitarian aid and forces.
