You came to assess on Sun, calamity on Thur/Fri – Fri was eye making landfall. Magnitude of Haiyan known days in advance. PH Red Cross Head told news they prestaged shelters for 20,000 knowing there would be possibly 11 million in need of shelter, food & water. Money given for NGOs, Red Cross, govts & agencies is being divided with lion’s share being put in portfolios of stocks & financial products as an account to use later for “rebuilding”.

It is us watching stacks of food & water sit in the rain on tarmac while you fly over and assess and have all aid resources & personnel on standby “waiting” at full cost of doing so. We see people dying for lack of those medicines, baby formulas, water, food, tents & sanitation aids with pallets of them sitting on tarmacs & in military protected warehouses not handing them out. And, we see long lines of 6, 8 and 12 hours of people standing in the sun, humidity, rain and stench to not get food, medicines, medical help or water – but to REGISTER to get it. That is insane.

Reply I made to Oxfam Intnl Worker’s Post –

Why aid delivery isn’t instant — and ways it could be faster

http://blogs.oxfam.org/en/blogs/13-11-20-why-aid-delivery-isnt-instant-ways-it-could-be-faster

**

And after taking a walk to think about it between originally reading their blog post and then sitting down to reply to it, I realized – I’ve got more to say about it –

The other day, as the event was unfolding a contractor was running all over twitter commenting and re-commenting about any mention anyone made that aid was not getting to the survivors of Haiyan fast enough (or at all.) And, after checking his twitter page for what company he is with, it occurred to me how much money has been spent on consultants, contractors and companies to help every single NGO, Red Cross branch and executive plus coordinating teams, UN teams and disaster relief coordinator teams, agencies, governments along with their agencies, conferences and their groups of attendees, interested parties and every other single facet of disaster preparedness funding group, disaster response teams and groups and funding sources – etc., etc., etc., ad nauseum.

There have been literally billions if not trillions of dollars spent on these consultants and contractors creating paradigms for response. for preparedness and prestaging of resources before and immediately DURING an event unfolding. AND countless manhours both volunteer and ridiculously highly paid, that couldn’t apparently tell one nation – in this case, the Philippines to get damn SAT phones in the hands of all their government agencies and local govt responders and decision-makers plus pay for them – in a country that is regularly and commonly hit with massive natural disasters and extreme weather events of the most destructive nature.

And, it isn’t the one and only stupid concept in play. We watch – and I am meaning – everyone who participates as volunteers and interested human beings of the international community as well as donors of goods, services and funding – or helpers who raise that funding and make every effort to do so – WE WATCH as that aid sits in warehouses not being distributed and people having been devastated, traumatized and hurt, hungry, alone, scared, dying of thirst – look upon those pallets of aid and cannot get any of it for days, upon days upon days – sometimes as it literally ruins sitting there (both on the tarmac and in warehouses “protected” from looting.) We watched it in the Philippines this time. We watched it in Haiti – but we’ve also seen it in every single disaster that has unfolded.

Aid funding comes in and before the week is out – despite hundreds of billions of dollars previously available for these organizations and agencies and despite hundreds of millions of dollars, if not more – being given in the direct and current donations for the specific event – there is supposedly “not enough money to do anything or not enough to do it for everyone who has been affected or whose lives have been obliterated by the event.”

That is partly happening because directors, CEOs and others in the industry of disaster relief (even non-profits) have divided up the funds as they are received into piles of accounts which are being diverted FROM actual resources for the event and its survivors’ needs.

One of those funding diversions of capital is by profit-driven fund raising companies having been contracted to do the fund-raising for the organization, agency, NGO, non-profit, church, UN org or who the hell ever is trying to raise money for the aid. That, in some cases is literally taking the lion’s share of what comes in – some places I’ve read it can be as much as 70-90% of the original donation totals going through those profit-based fund-raising contractors belong to that company and do not go to the charities, organizations, NGOs, agencies, UN or disaster relief efforts.

Then, of the remaining funds getting to the NGOs, agencies, UN branches for distribution and organizations whether Red Cross, Oxfam or even Religious-based charities and disaster response efforts, something between 2/3 and 3/4 of the donations finally received (having been skimmed for over 70%+ off the top already by profit driven companies doing the fund raising efforts), are being set aside into portfolios of financial products, stocks and other dividend receiving long-term assets to be “used” later as rebuilding and infrastructure building funds several years after the event.

However, when it comes time to do that rebuilding and infrastructure building – more often that not, those have to be done with some other funding because low and behold those organizations can’t be expected to help with that too after all the other things they’ve done already. And, then the country, township, local organizations, individuals, businesses, churches, local governments, regional infrastructure building committees end up having to go elsewhere to either apply for the money – OR more likely, to get a loan from the big development banks to do the rebuilding and infrastructure building projects with funding for each little element of it taking years, upon years upon years to get applied for individually and funded. It is wrong and has been costing lives. In that interim using this process over the last however many years it has been in play, each event compounds the difficulties of the last, because the process to fix or remedy anything is taking years alone all by itself.

Then the new disaster of the moment doesn’t even have the infrastructure to have any real chance of surviving it effectively because damages haven’t been fixed from the last one. But the loan requests are tying up everyone’s time to get them done and I suppose all those people involved at that level have a nice place to live that has good regular electricity and clean running water and toilets and is highly paid anyway – so what is a few more years of waiting going to make any difference to them personally anyway?

And, the other element I’d like to address is this one –

When a typhoon, hurricane, cyclone, flooding, massively heavy rains, flooding rains that are likely to cause landslides, or storm systems likely to spawn tornadoes., or rivers are known to be cresting at flood stage, and when storm surges are known to be coming as part of a storm – prestaging elements and supplies and resources and teams to respond to those events are not a surprise, nor need to be done only after the disaster has already wreaked havoc. THAT is why it is called “pre-staging”. It is done in anticipation of events whose scope and dangers are fairly easy to know of – ahead of time and do some things expecting that their damaging effects will be certain, widespread and life-threatening.

What I see happening from my interactive point of interest – is that pre-staging and preparations are being done with understated resourcing numbers – such as prestaging tent shelters to be available for 20,000 families knowing that somewhere between 2 and 11 million lives are in harm’s way. That is stupid.

But, even more stupid, is having every single thing and aid and equipment and personnel wait to respond until two or three days later (or thereafter) when some decision-making wazoo gets up in an airplane or helicopter to assess the place and then make a report back at their nice hotel out of harm’s way and away goes the hours most needed for the damn response.

I can see where, back at the nicely comfortable nearly unaffected areas, coordinators sent to coordinate and decision-makers sent to make decisions who come and make arrangements to go see the disaster zones when those arrangements should’ve been made before they got there. And being facetious about it – I’d say those arrangements maybe could’ve been made before the event considering Typhoon Haiyan / Yolanda was a 370 mile wide hurricane that took days to develop and was well known in its scope and amplitude and destructive power.

Then, from those nice hotel areas and govt bldgs nicely appointed, coordinators and decision-makers are deciding from there – that all the aid which is available already on the ground in affected areas is to wait until tomorrow or the next day or whenever to be given out to anyone AND that it can’t be given out until everybody has been registered to receive any of it. And, they sit back in a nice chair in their beautifully appointed hotel room after having a nice bath and after a nice comfy dinner in a nice clean expensive restaurant and after doing that fly-over for assessment and they do that “assessing” report plus computer and phone interactions, sometimes meetings and charts  –

AND in the meantime everyone in the affected disaster zone (and us here watching the news) are seeing the food, water, medicines, baby formula, tents, clothing, and pallets of aid sit on the tarmac under plastic with rain hitting it and not one bit going to help anybody.

Or the survivors start scouting for resources knowing the military has been sent not to give out food but to protect the warehouse that is storing the aid sent on the last disaster or put in for this one and that includes everything from rice to water to tents and cooking supplies and baby stuff and medicines and antibiotic ointments – but there it is and the only decision that can be made is to stick troops around it so nobody can get to any of it while “assessments” are being done and “registration” methods are being set up to receive any of it (which take money, time and manhours to do – still without having given one thing of food, water or medicine to anybody.)

That first 24 hours is the difference, not only of life and death, but those survivors have been fully traumatized, physically hurt usually, their family members and children and neighbors are hurt, there is no clean water, food is ruined, people are dead or dying that they care about, they need every bit of strength for surviving it further, let alone to help others around them to continue surviving the event and its aftermath – and our resources to help are tied up in STUPID bureaucratic nightmarish STUPID approaches to hand them that food, water, medicines and resources we’ve donated money to have for them. It wasn’t money given to pay these huge $200,000 a year plus salaries to employees and administrators of every agency and organization handling any of it. It wasn’t money given to support the profits of some fund-raising business model for another company not even involved in disaster relief and recovery. None of us that gave time, money and resources, gave them for those resources and funds to be given by the millions to contractors, consultants and financial brokers’ fees to trade them in portfolios within the organization’s or agencies’ “accounts”. That wasn’t why I would have sacrificed even ONE SINGLE DOLLAR to give towards these efforts.

And, especially knowing what I can see of it right now from here – not even impacted by it and disgusted with what I’ve watched happen in disaster after disaster after disaster across the world as those with our donated funds and resources astoundingly can’t hand these affected populations food, water and medicine even within the first week after the event has devastated them and everything around them. The fact is – there are helicopters, it doesn’t rely on roads to drop food and water and medicines and baby formula and tents to people.

It doesn’t require consultants and $30 million a contract to tell you that many nations under constant threat of wind, rain, flooding, avalanche, landslides, mud slides, hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, massive earthquakes – need solar charged SAT phones to interact after those events – or SAT SLeeves for their cellphones. It isn’t rocket science to see any weather map and note the conditions and scope about to become a major life-threatening event to large populations. That is why those in disaster recovery organizations as directors, executives, administrators, coordinators and other decision-maker teams at the top are supposedly making over $250,000 a year each and sometimes substantially more than that – even in “non-profits” – it is to have the common sense it takes to know these things and put that applied common sense into action before, during and after these events.

Just to note – if you’ve never read some of the garbled constructions of what this disaster aid and its funding are supposed to accomplish in infrastructure rebuilding – go read it. They are not to be believed in the degree of extreme bullshit intellectually written that defies the common sense found in any five-year old.

Check it out. It is unbelievable.

An absolutely brilliant program that worked after Katrina to apply solutions from it for Hurricane Sandy homes and businesses

From –

The application of solutions by architects, engineers, inventors, manufacturers and other brilliant folks after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans can be taken in specific innovations and even as a way to do it for Staten Island and other New York boroughs wrought by the devastation of Hurricane Sandy and its storm surge –

This is a brief explanation of what was done after Katrina – each and every home, sidewalk, design, new materials application used in these homes could be used for homes and businesses being remediated and rebuilt in Staten Island, Queens, Brooklyn and New Jersey areas that were affected with such horrendous devastation –

Over the past five years, the Make it Right Foundation in New Orleans has been realizing its commitment to build 150 affordable, green storm resistant homes for families living in the Lower 9th Ward. The foundation, established by Brad Pitt, has completed seventy-five homes with the time and efforts donated by local and international architects such as Gehry Partners, Morphosis, Kieran Timberlake, Pugh+Scarpa, and McDonough+Partners.

(etc.)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/02/make-it-right-new-orleans_n_1564635.html

**

Sizing up the situation, mega movie star Brad Pitt singled out the ruined neighborhood for post-Katrina salvation. A modern building enthusiast, Pitt enlisted the help of respected architects from around the world to design hurricane and flood-safe, ecologically efficient replacement homes for former residents. He established a foundation, Make It Right, which has raised $30 million for the project, allowing the houses to be affordable to those of modest means. Since its beginning in 2008, the colorful, geometrically jagged neighborhood has become a tourist magnet.

Please reconsider helping Staten Island with Hurricane Sandy aftermath and rebuildingPlease reconsider helping Staten Island with Hurricane Sandy aftermath and rebuilding

After finding out a little while ago, that the New York City officials had turned away the offers of help and volunteers from the membership of the Structural Engineers Association of New York which was expressed to their membership, dated today – even as the President said to get the job done – I wrote this email to the association –

11.15.2012

Hurricane Sandy and the Structural Engineering Community

The response from New York’s engineering, architecture and construction community has been truly overwhelming. SEAoNY, the NYC Department of Buildings, and the residents of areas most affected by the storm are very grateful to you all for your efforts and your enthusiasm. We have been told that at this time, the DOB has adequate resources for continuing the work ahead.

As an update, the DOB is continuing to perform detailed building assessments throughout New York City, particularly those areas hardest hit by the storm. For more information, please visit http://www.nyc.gov/html/dob/html/news/storm_update.shtml. We will try to keep our membership and the structural engineering community updated on how they can help. In the meantime, please refer to the DOB website and press office for further information.

Thank you again for your tremendous spirit of volunteerism.

Please reconsider helping Staten Island with Hurricane Sandy aftermath and rebuilding

CricketDiane Phillips dianecphillips@gmail.com

to programs
I do understand the Department of Buildings’ and New York City position on not accepting your specialized expertise on matters relating to the damages caused by Hurricane Sandy. I do also understand that our President today, said that turf wars must be set aside now and through the building / re-building process. There are overwhelming problems in the boroughs of New York City that have been impacted by this storm and its record-setting storm surges. I do also understand that New York City Mayor Bloomberg initially called for no evacuation of these areas, no help from FEMA and insisted that New York City was prepared to cover all the needs from the storm using internal resources from its own agencies. That attitude is also understandable and would certainly put off any and all those who might help despite the circumstances.

Now, we are here. The storm has ravaged buildings and homes that are now expected to house human beings as a harbor of safety where they can conduct their lives, raise their children, conduct their businesses, educate their children, heal their sick and walk in their neighborhoods without a gas mask or hazmat wear. Although Senators from New York have stood yesterday in a press conference expressing strongly that people are NOT to start rebuilding their homes quickly so the structural elements can be thoroughly dry before placing new materials over them, the people living in these areas are (in cases, because it was shown on the news today) – beginning to place new wallboard and engaging in other rebuilding efforts regardless. People in these areas are not structural engineers, nor are they capable in most cases to look these things up for themselves online.

I don’t know exactly how to help them, but I know that you can and the membership of your organization can. It would surprise me if even ten people on this island in the affected areas would consider consulting a structural engineer of any kind or know the kinds of skill sets and knowledge assets available there. Along with that, as the President said – these turf wars must end now. He did not say it, but it is true that these have cost lives and continue to make things more difficult and dangerous for people who have already suffered far beyond anything they deserved. So, between us – I am asking that your members find a way to bring their knowledge to this table. I am asking. Please do not leave us without it.

Architects and chemical engineers, structural engineers, scientists, academics and inventors who have seen things that most people would not even know exist – which would aid in this recovery and rebuilding, would offer decontamination and neutralization of the toxic sludge now saturating everything in many, many structures, or would offer a multitude of reasonable, intelligent and educated ways to rebuild or retrofit structures to be safe against future events – ARE WELCOME. We need to know those things. Our population needs to know these things as they are making choices and decisions about whether to rebuild, or to leave, or how to go about it all. You and I know that when these things have been done wrong, half-assed, backwards, ignorantly or while pretending the facts of it do not exist – will yield several generations of future harm, not just next year or five years from now. Please don’t leave us without what you and your membership know, regardless of what the department of buildings said to you.

Public information and media sources, printed information distributed through the disaster areas, speaking to groups of homeowners in neighborhoods and business owners, showing them things that could be done through news outlets and magazines and local news sources, including the call in radio shows – however it is possible to let people know that your volunteers would talk with them or answer questions and brief common-sense information from your specialized set of skills – whatever it takes for people to hear it. I personally would welcome your spokespeople being seen on local and national news and talk shows like The View – or on Dr. Oz – and CBS2 New York. I would love to hear you hosting questions as guests on NY1 radio show that many people in Staten Island listen to throughout the day. Maybe larger projects eventually will invite your members to bring their assets to the mix – I certainly hope so, but in the immediate days and weeks ahead – We need you and particularly, the people in these devastated areas need your perspectives.

Thank you for re-considering your association’s and members’ desire to participate –

I am asking that in whatever way it is appropriate, that your organization convey this invitation and concerns to your membership. It doesn’t have to be as I’ve written it – I just didn’t know any other way to express it better. By the way, it is an absolute fact that the extent of the damages and types of extraordinary problems cause by this storm and its aftermath have overwhelmed the city’s resources to meet these challenges and there have not been disasters of this magnitude within these boroughs of this type in our lifetimes with the unusual toxic dangers added in the mix. We do need help.
Thank you again.

This I’m adding to anyone reading this blog entry from New York or elsewhere –

by what right do I ask for these experts and specialists to come in with their knowledge and skills to help New York City’s residents and boroughs?

1. In case you were wondering – I have every right as an American citizen.

2. In case you wish I’d hush – whether I say something or not, the disaster and its aftermath will still exist in overwhelming proportions beyond the measure of any principality to effectively resolve.

AND

3. In case you think it is none of my business, forget it and pretend none of the problems are really that big a deal, then in fifteen years deal with the problems that were caused by not handling this situation with the appropriate sets of skills and specialized knowledge required. No, in fact – let’s don’t.

And, just in case anyone doesn’t know this –

Structural engineering, architecture, chemical engineering, new materials science, chemistry, physics, geology, and other intelligent skills sets like them – offer a great deal more information than inspecting buildings or building sea walls and bridges. To continue turning away specialists, experts, academics, engineering specialties, groups of people with information that is needed and specialized skill sets that are vastly needed to effectively tackle this situation – is nothing short of murder. And, that is all I’ve got to say about it.

Here is where to find the EPA mold remediation information available online or by order as a printed publication –

Although this pamphlet is for commercial structures – it is much better than the info for homeowners and offers an easy to follow explanation of how to deal with the mold effectively –

http://www.epa.gov/mold/i-e-r.html

**

And this – (from the EPA)

On November 11, 12 and 13, EPA’s boat, ‘The Clean Waters,’ was used to collect water samples in Newark Bay and New York Harbor at the request of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. On each day, there were 10 samples of ocean water collected to determine concentrations of bacteria from the releases of raw or partially treated sewage from the storm damaged Passaic Valley Sewerage Authority.

The samples were analyzed for fecal coliform, a common group of bacteria associated with human waste. The established limit in New Jersey is 14 colony forming units (CFU) per 100 ml of water for shellfish harvesting.  Fecal coliform levels from the EPA’s samples were above this limit.  Although bacteria levels can fluctuate daily, there is a trend of decreasing coliform levels over the past week.   EPA strongly advises that people avoid activities that could bring them into direct contact with the waters in Newark Bay and New York Harbor. Results of the EPA sampling and sampling conducted directly by NJDEP to date can be found using the following link: http://www.state.nj.us/dep/wms/bmw/sandynyharbor.html

(from)

http://www.epa.gov/sandy/response.html

**

Now, guess what – if that level of bacteria is in the waters (which are huge in volume and moving to clean themselves out), that are around Staten Island and other Hurricane Sandy storm surge affected areas – then that thick black shit-smelling, petroleum smelling, chemical smelling, sewage smelling black muck covering the ground and streets and structures on Staten Island in Midland Beach and other areas – is not something that will simply be hosed off with a garden hose or disappear from the porous wood studs of homes where it saturated over many hours.

Whatever all might be in that black sludge covering everything from the ground to the buildings’ interior spaces where it sat in the seawater saturating every surface  – that is not going to be “ok” simply because to deal with it would be involved and inconvenient.

Those structures being rebuilt already and those about to be, are not what they were before this storm and its storm surge. Nor are they going to be safe and habitable in fifty years from now, or fifteen or five or in five months for that matter, if they are not handled sensibly, intelligently and appropriately. If the Mayor of New York City cares so much about this population as to make it law that soft drinks aren’t to be sold in extra large sizes, then it doesn’t make sense to incorporate known carcinogens and filth into structures by sticking a bit of new sheetrock over where the wet stuff was ripped off the old walls. (Among other things that it will cause, ill health and days upon days of sickness for entire families, children, pets and those not even born yet – will be the results and that is a known and proven set of facts, as well.)
