The earthquake of January 12, 2010 in Haiti has led to very serious consequences both at the infrastructural level psycho-social and economic development. There are nearly a million homeless people living in a camp situation well below minimum standards. The already precarious economic and social system has been further damaged, with consequences that, in all likelihood, will have an impact for years, mostly to the detriment of the most vulnerable and with fewer resources to respond quickly to what happened.
COOPI provides a detailed answer and cross to support the Haitian people hit by the earthquake is not limiting the action to the first emergency response but also focusing on the prevention of future disasters.
