I just thought it was interesting. Not so much that I'm indicting what Haiti failed to do so much as just a reminder that every so often a 'the sky is falling' prediction is accurate. I don't know that it would have stopped anything that already occured, but the people would know where to go so you could centralize the food/water/shelter delivery instead of just wandering the streets.
Good points. And giving people at least a little sense of direction (and some hope) in a catastrophe like this makes all the difference.
