How can you really prevent the recurrence of earthquakes in Haiti? We know that earthquakes occur in the future. In fact, Port-au-Prince, sitting on the exact location of plate tectonics and the formation of defects in the country where the seismic activity causes catastrophic earthquake occur regularly, not as large as 12 January 2010 occurred during the history - 1860, 1770, 1761, 1751, 1684, 1673 and 1618 (United States Geological Survey(USGS)).

Haiti needs the appropriate building standards to withstand the next earthquake. It is a necessity, and can make the international community must do everything possible to assist Haiti in this regard. the epicenter of the earthquake in Haiti - - built with the construction codes that states must bear powerful jolt buildings and homes of future earthquakes, the international community must see that all future buildings in Port-au-Prince. We, as an internationalCommunity can not afford, so that the tragedy from happening in Haiti.

In fact, former President Bill Clinton, a resident of the Montana Hotel, on his last visit to Haiti, and the Hotel Montana is one of the largest hotels in the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Many people from other countries who lost their lives in the Montana Hotel. These show that the infrastructure of Haiti, an earthquake danger to us all, forcing us all of the international communitytogether to help the nation to a need to build and stronger than ever. The members of the international community certainly has.

It was not long guarantee our desires. In fact, he was given a grand scale. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton (Bill Clinton) has been shaken by the International Code Council (ICC), a nonprofit organization that can build safer homes and buildings that can withstand the strongest aidEarthquake. The ICC is the building of the builders and developers to follow during the construction of buildings and homes in the United States and elsewhere. These building codes were developed to withstand the impact of buildings and houses from earthquakes and other natural disasters. This building will be essential for the reconstruction of Haiti.

ICC receives donations through its Foundation (ICCF) to fund construction projects in cities andSituations such as Haiti. Although little time to get before the recovery tools and resources to Haiti, the International Code Council, but with the help of its relations with the United Nations and the efforts of former President Bill Clinton destroyed the nation coordination of the reconstruction Haiti and to minimize future destruction, deaths, injuries and property damage caused by earthquakes and other natural disasters that may occur in the future (IPC).

InIn addition, the International Code Council is a nonprofit, membership managers with the building code for building inspectors to remove the fire together. A list of officials and direct as follows: architects, engineers, developers, builders and construction of community safety in question.

The Council develops model building codes, code in all 50 U.S. states have adopted. building codes are in correspondence or other resourcesCountries around the world including the Caribbean, Central America and South America, Asia and the Middle East. The group of international building code has sections on natural hazards, which are updated regularly to coordinate with federal agencies and the current data and field experience (ICC) to consider.

After the International Criminal Court in the intelligent application of sound principles of reconstruction after the earthquake in Port-au-Prince and other Haitian community should be encouraged. YouIt 'no secret that', dead and wounded damage caused by earthquakes in defining the guidelines of appropriate building codes can be reduced and respond to force, (CPI).

Haiti is the best technology in the building code in its reconstruction. The nation still building code technology information and data of earthquakes in earthquake zones in the United States has developed. This technology includes the design and construction approaches to recognizeHazards and risks associated with earthquakes mass. These building codes and guidelines of the International Code Council shall apply the construction to ensure safety of buildings and houses (CPI). The owners of buildings, building lines of code under construction in seismically active zones only interested in knowing the value of these codes and techniques to ensure their effective implementation, (CPI).

Studies have shown that it costs more to build earthquake-proof houses, every dollarThe casing of the buildings safer and stronger six fifty-six U.S. dollars to prevent U.S. casualties in the future (IPC). The ultimate goal of the ICC supports the efforts of the UP State Department and other federal agencies, as well as the United Nations and other international humanitarian organizations to ensure that Haiti is a way that creates an earthquake caused rebuilt reliability (ICC). According to the International Code Council, the seismic provisions of the Internationalupdated periodically to reflect the latest knowledge about earthquakes and the dynamic behavior and can be an important tool in terms of relief operations in Haiti. The Board of code is to ensure that the written documents, experts and professional development that Haiti is the long-term backup (CPI). The events in Haiti, once again show us that every effort should be made to reconstruct the design using the best available information and includeThe technology of codes and standards for the implementation of building code (ICC).

The International Criminal Court means that an earthquake with a magnitude similar events have different effects on how a nation and the community is ready to manage the built environment, skyscrapers in the cities and homes. Better prepared, at least for the victims, and at least prepared, most of the victims of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. In the case of Haiti was not ready for his government and the people are notfinancial resources for preparation. Rules of the International Building Codes for Haiti, then, to protect people inside buildings when the earthquake struck again to make it easy to avoid the collapse of buildings and houses for safe evacuation. It collapsed due to construction so easy to see why so many people died in Haiti. The structures built to modern building codes to withstand minor earthquakes without damageearthquake demolished the collapse of the ICC. Structures in Port-au-Prince, Haiti did not follow the rules of modern buildings that have helped or housing to withstand the shocks of the earthquake of January 12, 2010. China has been devastating earthquake of 7.9, but with fewer incidents of earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 Haiti.

The International Criminal Court and the international community tributary your heart, with the support and prayers for the people of Haiti.Never in history because there are a lot of international support for a nation and people in distress like that. It 's wonderful, full international support to the people of Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and have never seen in this devastated region in the world.

January 12, 2010 Haiti has been devastating, but history teaches us that there can be big names in the coming years. Port-au-Prince is the epicenter of the earthquake or access pointActivities in Haiti. There may be more earthquakes in the future, large or small, to come. Therefore, it is time for the country of Haiti to enter setup mode, then when the next, the country will establish an infrastructure capable of withstanding shock and vibration greatest of them all, and giving its citizens precious moments who have fled their homes or buildings fall and destroy. Haiti, none of these eventswithout the help of the international community. So give President Clinton and the ICC step by step, one hand to the reconstruction of Haiti, we can be sure that the people of Haiti for the next big earthquake in the middle when he's' acts of preparation.

If someone wants in the name of the reconstruction of Haiti and the donation of relief, please do so through a donation to the International Code Council, the Red Cross, UNICEF and other reliable sources.
