Haiti
After the January 2010 earthquake, S/CRS and members of the Civilian Response Corps helped mobilize a U.S. government-wide effort to develop a strategy to bring together people and funding to respond to the crisis. The U.S. task force included 45 offices and agencies working on issues including economic security, provision of essential services, rule of law, and response to vulnerable children. The resulting plan, which USAID used to guide long-term post-emergency relief efforts, laid out the work necessary to ensure that a fragile state did not fall into chaos once immediate humanitarian efforts subsided.
S/CRS also provided support for longer-term U.S. planning for Haiti.
