Informative Speech On Hurricanes

The key lessons that have been learnt from the event is that those in charge of ensuring the safety of Haiti’s citizens need to recognize the risk of their location and acknowledge the advice of seismologists for any future seismic events. The implementation of early warning systems and the use of SMS messaging as seen in Japan would greatly reduce the hazard of an earthquake. In addition, environmental management is crucial for the long term survival of Haiti, strategies to reduce deforestation and claiming back land unsuitable for housing would lead to better soil quality and less risk of landslides and liquefaction to buildings should another event occur. However, the main lesson to be drawn from the disaster is the need for proper construction techniques and guidelines. Education and training to provide construction workers with enough knowledge to make future infrastructure earthquake

Illness and disease along with poverty still plague Haiti today. The effort to try and recover from the most recent earthquake tragedy has Haitians concerned. The conditions that they have endured in the past just to survive are worse than the conditions brought on by the earthquake. Some Haitian natives feel the Government is moving a bit slow in cleaning up and getting

On January twelfth 2010, a deadly earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 hit the coast of Port au prince, Haiti for 35 seconds, killing around 200,000 and leaving approximately to 1.5 million of the population homeless including kids who became orphans and vice versa in a matter of less than a minute. Before the earthquake, the way of life was not as bad as portrayed back at home, most of the news broadcasted in the mainstream media were exaggerated news, negative light and unfair tales to make Haiti look inferior.

Attention Getter: Who here has heard of the horrible plight of Haiti? Haiti has been through constant suffering everyday due to economic difficulty, lack of food, lack of clean water, hurricanes, and possibly everything that could go wrong with the world. I’m sure no one in their right mind would want to be there now but does anyone know how Haiti became as it is now. Well that’s what I’m about to tell you.

Pitts has a very important argument that the people of Haiti learn how to recover quickly from their tragedies. Perhaps it is because they have experienced other weather problems in their past. Since they have been through this before, they know better ways of building themselves back up to their previous standpoint. Thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands have lost their live to the multitude to storms, floods, and earthquakes. However, we watch this happen from afar and never experience these ourselves. Pitts mentions that we pray, but that’s it. We cannot possibly fathom what it is like to go through such a devastating event, let alone how to recover from it.

The story of Haiti’s healthcare system is unfortunately tied all too closely to disaster, both man-made and nature-born. This paper will briefly discuss the pre-2010 earthquake healthcare environment in Haiti as the uncertainty that exists provides little opportunity to provide a reasoned understanding of its current national healthcare status.

Hurricanes form in the late summer and early fall when the sun heats up the surface of the ocean, this change in the weather along with a few other important factors help produce the storm.

Haiti has a failed society partly due the ecosystem while Denmark society lives a successful and sustainably economy. In Haiti, acute poverty forces the population to rely on wood and charcoal for fuel and income, leading to ever more deforestation. Sixty-six percent of Haitians depend on agriculture and small-scale farming, but most cannot produce enough food on the eroded hillsides to even feed their families. When tropical storms regularly hit Haiti, rainfalls ravage crops, bring flooding and wash more topsoil into the sea. The 7.0 Mw earthquake in January 2010 added new dimensions of suffering and urgency. And Haiti’s government, which has been chronically weak for

On January 12, 2010 on of the world’s deadliest earthquakes struck Haiti. In his book, Humanitarian Aftershocks in Haiti, Mark Schuller analyzes the presence of humanitarian aid agencies following the disaster. He discusses the impacts the aid had on the environment, development and globalization of Haiti.

Haiti faced physical vulnerabilities due to its island location near a fault line; an area with a high risk of tsunamis. The severe population density in the outskirts of the city, combined with the instability of the housing, increases the level of risk from natural disasters to a large portion of the population. The inferior building codes and inadequate

The response for the natural disasters that hit Haiti in 2010 was slow. Haiti improved the water supply of 340,000 people, supplied drugs to five cholera treatment facilities, provided free medical care to 39,000, and gave tools and seeds to help 23,000 people in farming households to help support themselves. These services not only improved shelters for 34,000 people but gave information to 116,000 people about disaster preparation. Volunteers ran literacy classes for 60,000 vulnerable women to help them support themselves and their families; additionally, they helped defend 25,000 residents from forced eviction. However, 3.5 years after the earthquake, the nation is still struggling with recovery with hundreds of thousands of people still living in tent camps.

Historically, the country has sustained a multitude of natural disasters, including cyclones, hurricanes, tropical storms, and earthquakes. Haiti’s unique geographical location continues to make it vulnerable to disaster; with a massively destructive earthquake recorded in 1564, and numerous earthquakes, cyclones, and hurricanes from 1600’s throughout the 1800’s (averaging 2 to 3 major recorded events per century) (DesRoches, Comerio, Eberhard, Mooney, & Rix, 2011). Haiti experienced a dramatic upswing in the prevalence of

Specific purpose: I want my audience to learn how hurricanes form and the process behind them.

Now that Hurricane Irma is finished crushing our hopes and dreams we can finally get back too what’s important in life, and that is football. Buccaneers football to be exact. After what seems to be the longest week of our lives we can actually start to see the Bucs game upon the horizon and that is a beautiful thing.

They argue that Hurricane Irma has made the Caribbean islands “uninhabitable” by providing both facts and emotional connections relating to Hurricane Irma’s impact on the environment and people of the area. The authors argue this claim in order to show that Hurricane Irma has basically wiped out all signs of survival in the Caribbean area, which is a rational statement. Without the necessities of life, such as food, water, and shelter, the Caribbean is truly an unsuitable location to live in. The authors use factual information regarding the total destruction caused by Hurricane Irma, while incorporating the emotional appeal to the humans who are impacted and forced to leave everything they have because of the natural disaster. The authors use strong negative connotation and diction such as “destruction,” “death,” “pure terror,” and “absolute destruction,” in order to add to the seriousness of the situation and create a mood of solemness. The authors effectively organize information throughout the article by stating main points and backing them up with multiple pieces of evidence. The authors of the article prove to be very reliable and support all their claims with evidence, which shows high author credibility on the topic of Hurricane
