On January twelfth, 2010, an earthquake struck the western peninsula of the Republic of Haiti, claiming greater than 250,000 lives and leaving 1.2 million humans homeless. The earthquake, which registered a importance of 7.0, destroyed houses, faculties, and hospitals and prompted landslides and soil liquefaction that broken the port and coastal roads. This TCLEE record discusses intimately the consequences of this earthquake on lifeline infrastructure structures

Hannes Fernow führt interdisziplinär in das Thema weather Engineering ein. Er integriert im Rahmen einer Politischen Hermeneutik wissenschaftstheoretische, technikphilosophische und umweltethische Argumente in historisch tradierte Risiko- und Naturverständnisse und zeigt, dass die Folgen von technologischen Klimaveränderungen nicht verlässlich vorhersagbar sind.

At several locations throughout Port-au-Prince and outlying communities we observed the placement of mobile cellular system and telescoping antenna array, also known as cells on wheels (COWS), outside of several telephone central offices, presumably placed as a work around to enable inter-exchange traffic. In addition to impairing inter-office operations, the international call-traffic stopped immediately with the building’s collapse. S. systems, Haiti’s PSTN serves a very small segment of the population, business, and government affairs agencies.
Systems, Haiti’s PSTN serves a very small segment of the population, business, and government affairs agencies. Without input from the utility operator, it is difficult to assess the extent of impairment and service disruption to any telemetry or to any enterprise control or support circuitry, which may have been impacted. Restoration and Recovery Estimates A majority of the damage to OSP resulted from collapsing buildings and potentially engaged multiple contacts with energized electrical conductors as the damage occurred.
Use of HDPE pipe is recommended for use in new distribution facilities because it is highly resistant to earthquakes. 5 Acknowledgments The ASCE TCLEE water and drainage investigation included Don Ballantyne, Dave Plum, and Brucely Joseph. Field reconnaissance was conducted from Monday, March 1, through Friday, March 5, 2010, about 7 weeks after the event. The TCLEE team would like to acknowledge the following people in Haiti who provided information for the report: Patrice Roy, Director of CAMEP (Centrale Autonome Metropolitaine d’Eau Potable) Ing.
