Possible Haiti Relief Mission
H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 joins the world in our expression of grief for the people of Haiti and their families here in the USA as they struggle with an unimaginable loss. We know there are no words that will comfort the survivors as they await news regarding the welfare of their loved ones. But we can offer the assistance of the H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 disaster response experts. This morning as the level of destruction and the human suffering grew, the Executive Board of H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 decided to extend our area of response beyond our national borders to include our international neighbors. Towards that end, we have contacted a number of international aid organizations and government agencies to offer a twenty person team of H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 members to assist in the disaster relief.
At this time, because of the on-site challenges, all organizations have been asked to stand down while the military and two select U.S.A.R. teams assess the most pressing needs. Because the situation is fluid, we are asking H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 members to monitor the broadcast news and look for our updates regarding our anticipated deployment. At that time, we will provide you with the necessary medical clearance requirements and when to pick up your uniforms, equipment and safety gear.
