point out that the devastation caused by natural disasters like hurricanes
and earthquakes is so far reaching in part due to decades of neglectful
mismanagement of emergency response and lack of appropriate infrastructure
development. The level of destruction is exacerbated by the dire economic
situation that forces people to live in precarious conditions; in tin
shacks, in marginalized communities, at the edge of rivers, and next to
cliffs. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

widespread damage as an “expression” of the country’s
“vulnerability” to natural disaster, and demonstrated a
commitment to a new course for the country. The president declared a state
of emergency and the Legislative Assembly acted quickly to provide $150
million in emergency relief, including for farmers whose crops have been
washed away. “This time, the government will not leave the people to
suffer alone… We have to overcome this tragedy,” said the
President. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
