Operational Details
Operational Summary: 
CRWRC relief managers joined staff in Port au Prince on Jan. 16 and set up logistics in Santo Domingo. CRWRC is distributing water, food and medical aid. Initial aid includes water purification units and rice, corn meal, and beans. First surgical aid, with MTI, arrived Jan 14; an orthopedic team arrived Jan. 18. CRWRC set up response in Leogane, working with Haitian partner, PWOFOD, to coordinate relief. CRWRC anticipates involvement in Leogane after the emergency phase, both in intermediate recovery and long-term rehabilitation. Present in Haiti for 30 years, CRWRC has worked in ongoing development programs with PWOFOD in leadership development, literacy, and micro-loans, and will work to rebuild development programming in the future.
