TO: HUMAN RIGHTS ADVOCATES
FROM: TOM LUCE, PRES. HURAH, INC.
RE: CRITICAL NEED FOR POST-QUAKE SAFETY: SSR

Pressured by our contacts on the ground in Haiti and our allies here in
-- Haitian-Americans with expertise and a commitment to our
nonviolent, nonpartisan position -- I am sending you a proposal that calls for a
creative approach to the management of post-quake disaster relief. I am pleading
with you and everyone in your networks to look at this proposal and join us in
doing everything in your power to convince the authorities, especially the USA to
implement it.

“SUSTAINABLE SAFETY RESPONSE” (SSR) is the title of the
l, but safety is only a piece of the action. Safety can only be obtained by
implementing the heart of the proposal: evacuate the most destitute, most
damaged victims (estimated at 400,000) from the city of Port-Au-Prince to
adequate, temporary camps that will provide basic health care, food, shelter, and
mandatory education programs for all children. This segment of the population
is the most vulnerable. Only by removing them--voluntarily--can they be “safe”
from the inevitable violence that overtakes human rights in times of disaster and
make it possible for the military to organize the clean up and avoid all risk of
contagious diseases.

We have information that there is a dire human rights crisis rapidly
ng, fueled by partisan politics and backed up by violent chaotic gang
partisan politics. With the implementation of SSR more lives will be preserved,
and sustainable socio-economic rebuilding will be enhanced. The growing anti-
foreigner feelings are real but are fueled by the serious lacks that SSR offers. All
the material resources must be redirected to safe locations outside the city. The
land is all ready for the first “model” program.

Please, again, I plead with you to respond. Hurah, a small organization
resources, has committed to promoting SSR and coordinating what SSR
needs to become a reality. We have the assurances of the people on the ground
to cooperate. Help us find the resources to back them up.

Thank you for your solidarity.
Tom Luce, Pres. Hurah, Inc.; Jean Sénat Fleury, Dir. WJRIH
