Executive Summary
Hazard administration lies at the crossing point of undertaking capacities performed by
the frameworks design and the venture supervisor. Generally, peril organization focused more on
organization parts, for instance, schedule and cost, and less on particular threats for all around
described or humbler assignments. In any case, bigger and more mind boggling undertakings and
conditions have expanded the vulnerability for the specialized parts of numerous tasks. To
enhance the likelihood of productive wander and program results, the systems authority and
assignment chief must be successfully connected with all parts of hazard organization.
A generous collection of information has created around chance administration. All in all,
hazard administration incorporates improvement of a hazard administration approach and plan,
recognizable proof of parts of the hazard administration process, and direction on exercises,
compelling practices, and devices for executing every segment. This paper gives a brief idea of
the risk management plan for the Haiti Earthquake. The earthquake occurred at 4:53 PM 12th
January 2010 25km southwest of the Haitian capital. Most of the residents witnessed their worlds
being overturned upside down as they lost their homes, friends and more so the family members.

Introduction
The Disaster was caused by an earthquake with a magnitude of 2.9 affected the country
of Haiti. The country got its independence back in the 1804 and was the first state that was
governed by the African descent people and was the second in the western hemisphere to
achieve independence. With a population of 10.8 million people (Joseph, M and Wang, F.,
2010), it’s the populous country in the Caribbean community covering a total of 27,750
square kilometers.
All through the history of the state, it has been plagued by most natural disasters, poverty,
political instability and the racial discord. (Brun 2018) explains the political instability in
relation to the Post disaster response. With all this ricks that do occur there is need to analyze
the risk management as a factor of concern to the people of Haiti and the general public at
large. To evade from all this risk, most of the operations should be well managed. Though at
some points, the conditions may exceed the irrevocable tipping point.
The devastating earthquake was not unusual to the residents since the same forces that
caused is the normal force that causes earthquake in any other place of the world though its
magnitude was so strong. Generally, earthquakes occur along the pieces of the earth’s plates
when in motion. As more stress is exerted along the boundaries, faulty parts stick together
and when the stress is suddenly released, a strong movement causing the two sides to rupture
generates and earthquake.

With the high magnitude strength, it created a huge billion-dollar damage ranging
between 7.8 to 8.5 billion dollars. The most affected areas being the ports, and all the paved
roads. Over 60 percent of the government buildings in the city majorly targeting 80 percent
of the schools and the civil servants killed over 25 percent crippling the government effort’s
in restoring the situation, (Oh, Kwon & Rao 2010).
1.1 Project Overview
The main concern of the repercussions of this mishap is how it influenced the zones
resulting to a massive loss of lives rendering it to be the most destructive of all the ages. A brief
summary of the primary effects is that it killed 230,000 people and the ground shaking destroyed
180,000 homes in the capital Port-au-Prince. As a result of the misplacement, those misplaced
were forced to live in camps which brought about congestion hence creating a risky situation
whereby most lives were claimed by the cholera especially the children and this called for a
respond by the authority (Walton & lvers 2011). Upon learning the weakness and the dangers the
people were exposed, the rescue teams and the trained medics were flown to the areas plus the
sniffer dogs to help isolate those people affected by the damage caused. The government in its
trials to safe the people, is forced to take a great part in providing food, safe water for drinking
and other the temporary shelters (Emmanuel et al. 2008). Another way the government helped
the people as a way of managing the risk was through the inspecting and repairing of the
damaged buildings.
