Jobs: Static Security And Mobile Security Positions, Haiti

Jan 19

Posted by Matt in Disaster Response, Haiti, Jobs | No Comments

   I hope to see more companies start advertising, and I will put the security related disaster relief stuff up when I find it. One word of caution, just from experience with this.  You will see many companies ‘say’ they are going in, when in fact they are just getting ready for the potential of going in.  Especially the smaller companies. It happens with the bigger companies too, and the best I can say is that you just need to roll with it. Keep putting in with companies, until you have a contract and airplane ticket in hand. I would also put more faith into companies that are reputable and have done this kind of thing before.

    Disaster response is frantic and everyone has a million things going on at once.  Sometimes companies that are just trying to provide services get bombarded by all sorts of customers, all trying to figure out exactly what they want. And because disaster is instant chaos and instant demand for everything, it tends to turn into a very interesting logistics animal.

   By the way, I am not the POC or recruiter for this.  Please do not post your resume in the comments section, because I will just delete it.  If you want to apply, just click on the blue links below, or cut and paste the email posted.  Good luck. -Matt

Haiti: Doctors Leave Hospital Do To Security Concerns, Reports Of Looting And Violence

Jan 17

Posted by Matt in Disaster Response, Haiti, Jundism | No Comments

   This is heartbreaking to hear.  I know there is an entire industry ready to answer the call for security needs, and we will. It’s just the flood gates need to be opened, much like they were opened during Katrina, to get the ball going. Eventually, NGOs and the like will figure it out that they actually need folks like us in order to accomplish their mission. And as the Belgian doctors are figuring out, you can’t depend on others for security, you have to insure your operation has it, and that takes planning and initiative. It also takes putting away your ego and your misconceptions about folks like us, and rationally figuring out how to use us for your operation. And from the sounds of it, at least the media had private security with them. (bravo to the team that is protecting Dr. Sanja Gupta and his crew)

   And now that the U.S. Military has committed to this disaster with a heavy duty response, I wonder about our current strategic needs to protect the homeland or staff our other ‘projects’?  Two wars, and now this major disaster that will require a long term military presence, will certainly put the military in a less flexible stance.  How could it not?

   So with that said, one would have to expect that security contractors, as well as other contractor types, will more than likely make up the difference. We will keep our eye on this, and this industry will certainly answer the call, like we always do.

   I just hope that those that are reading this, and just entering this game called security contracting, understand that Jundism will be vital for you and your contract, in order to make our contribution to the war and these disasters, honorable and essential. -Matt

Security concerns cause doctors to leave hospital, quake victims

January 16, 2010

Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) — Earthquake victims, writhing in pain and grasping at life, watched doctors and nurses walk away from a field hospital Friday night after a Belgian medical team evacuated the area, saying it was concerned about security.

The decision left CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta as the only doctor at the hospital to get the patients through the night.

CNN initially reported, based on conversations with some of the doctors, that the United Nations ordered the Belgian First Aid and Support Team to evacuate. However, Belgian Chief Coordinator Geert Gijs, a doctor who was at the hospital with 60 Belgian medical personnel, said it was his decision to pull the team out for the night. Gijs said he requested U.N. security personnel to staff the hospital overnight, but was told that peacekeepers would only be able to evacuate the team.

History: Private Security Contractors And Disaster Relief–2005 And Now

Jan 16

Posted by Matt in Disaster Response, Haiti, History | No Comments

    I wanted to bring up some recent history about our group.  David Isenberg just posted a great story about contractors and disaster relief, with a mention of Feral Jundi, and I figured I would give that audience coming over a little something extra to chew on.

   Although I would like to briefly expand on David’s post with some history. Companies have done pro-bono work for disasters, and Blackwater was a prime example of that.  They saved 121 people by plucking them off of their roofs with their helicopter during the mad early days of Hurricane Katrina, as well as hauling 11 tons of life saving supplies.  That was done out of pocket, and serves as just one example of a company trying to do the right thing and providing ‘pro-bono’ services.

   Then there are the hundreds of individual contractors that have medical skills, search and rescue skills or dog handling backgrounds, who are joining teams to go on over to the island in order to help.  Or there are the contractors that are going over with church groups or other NGO’s, who are doing what they can to help out and serve.  Then there are the contractors who are on contract right now, in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, that are sending money online.  We have a heart, and we do care, despite what some might say about us.  We also have a ton of pertinent skills for these kinds of disasters.

   As for the security related responses, that is a little different.  During the Katrina disaster, and certainly during this disaster, all the news agencies contract with individuals and small companies for security.  That is the hypocrisy of the MSM. They will write scathing articles about the larger contractor companies, and then turn around and contract with smaller companies and individuals for their security when they go galloping around the world. They do the same thing in war zones, and it has always kind of rubbed me the wrong way.  Ironically, these same security folks they hire, usually do work in the big companies like Blackwater or Triple Canopy as contractors. Why, because they have to feed their families too, and work is work.  Oooooh, the horror……pfffft.

   But back to Private Security Contractors and Disaster Relief.  The response in Katrina was amazing.  Companies responded quickly and they got boots on the ground, armed and ready to go.  Some companies went in heavily armed in the beginning, and then graduated to a lesser security posture as the threat level decreased.  I remember this shock that people had, that war zone contractors were in New Orleans, and that they are walking around with guns.  Those in the media that were contractor haters, really drummed up this image that BW was running around out of control in New Orleans.  Of course that was crap, and all they were trying to do was bringing order to chaos.

   What happened in New Orleans, was a total break down of law in that town, and a total failure of the local leadership to provide order. (sounds like Haiti? huh)  Private security contractors were brought in, along with the military and numerous other law enforcement agencies, to stop the looting and to protect the aid workers and people from any threats.  And the security response to that incident was excellent.  I am positive that if we did not have that kind of response, there would have been more crime and more lives lost. Aid workers and rescue folks would be more fearful for their lives, as opposed to rescuing people, and that is why security was so vital in places where there has been a complete breakdown in society.

   Now with Haiti, that place was a failed state already.  Now with the earthquake and all the death and destruction, those people are going to be even more desperate and irrational. Disasters like this, bring out the best and worst in humans, and security professionals are essential to provide order to the chaos.

   That is why security is going to be vital in Haiti, and why all types of security are going to be necessary there.  Send in the Marines, the Army, the UN, and PSC/PMC’s, all with the idea of keeping the peace and protecting the innocent.  As we speak, there are hundreds of security contractors already contracted individually by the media or aid groups, all managing the security of those groups. Hell, there were already contractors there, providing services before this disaster, complete with offices and licenses.

   I also want to mention the contractors that will be assisting in the rebuilding effort.  The same warzone contractors that build and support there, will no doubt be answering the call for Haiti.  PAE has an office in Haiti, and from what I have heard on the forums, they are still accounting for people.  There were also the folks supporting the UN effort there, so contractors are already there.  My heart goes out to those victims, as well as the UN victims, and all of the Haitian victims of this disaster.  Everyone has lost people in this deal.

   Hopefully, larger companies will assemble teams to provide security and logistics for larger operations there. The irony with that, is a journalist being protected by some retired SF trooper, will probably write a scathing article about warzone contractors in Haiti, terrorizing the locals and causing all sorts of problems.  Bottom line, security contractors are sheepdogs, and they will do what they do best in this disaster. They will find a way to help, to protect, to give and to serve, just like everyone else who cares about helping the Haitians. -Matt

Edit: 01/16/2010 – It sounds like all the PAE folks are accounted for, and everyone is ok.  I also heard on the forums that they are looking for folks for long term work in Haiti for the rebuild.

From the Virginian Pilot

Bill Sizemore

September 15, 2005

“Anne Duke, a Blackwater spokeswoman, said Wednesday that the company has about 200 personnel in the hurricane-ravaged area. The vast majority – 164 employees – are working under a contract with the Federal Protective Service, a division of the Department of Homeland Security, to protect government facilities. The 30-day contract can be extended indefinitely, she said.

Under a separate contract, the company supplied an airplane to the Coast Guard, Duke said, and also provided a helicopter at no charge to support Coast Guard rescue missions. As of Monday, Blackwater air crews had moved more than 11 tons of supplies and rescued 121 people, she said.”

Private Security Contractors Head to Gulf

By Griff WitteWashington Post Staff WriterThursday, September 8, 2005

Companies in the Gulf Coast area hit by Hurricane Katrina are turning to an unusual source to protect people and property rendered vulnerable by the storm’s damage — private security contractors that specialize in supporting military operations in war-torn countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan.

Disaster Response: Incident Command And Haiti

Jan 15

Posted by Matt in Disaster Response, Haiti | 3 Comments

Disaster Response: Incident Command And Haiti

   A couple things I am noticing about this disaster, that I think indicates some issues that need to be looked at hard for future international disaster relief operations.  Initial attack for this needs to be organized and geared towards establishing a centralized command built around ICS or Incident Command System. If you do not get organized, you will see the massive size of the operation cripple itself, and the crucial elements of a rescue will not get in there in time.

   So let’s get started with the first steps.  I am operating on the assumption that diplomacy has succeeded in allowing a rescue effort to commence.  Without that blessing, nothing can happen. But if there is a go for this type of operation, then this is what needs to happen. Centralized command must be established, and those on the ground must impose their will on all of those wishing to help and who want help.  This is a war against death and destruction, and the enemy is time.  Without establishing some firm organization in the beginning, then you will see the effort become hindered, and lives being lost do to inefficiency.

   When I fought forest fires, as well as other disasters in the fire services, we highly depended upon Incident Command and a high octane system of dispatch, in order to save lives and property.  We dealt with disasters every summer, and sometimes year round, and you eventually come to some conclusions about the best way to get the job done. It could be fires or floods or whatever, you must bring order to chaos, and you must take control of the situation in order to save lives.

PMC 2.0: Ushahidi Haiti

Jan 14

Posted by Matt in Disaster Response, Haiti, Mobile Apps, PMC 2.0 | No Comments

  The boys and girls at Ushahidi have come through again with another super useful tool for those that are tracking the efforts on the ground in Haiti.  If you are deploying to Haiti, and want a quick run down of what some of the big ticket issues are, then check these various websites out along with the Ushahidi site.  I have no clue if you will be able to use smart phones on the ground there, but I am sure there will be an effort to get networks up and running at full speed. Communications, to include a fat pipe for the internet, will be vital for the relief efforts.

   I have not downloaded any of the mobile apps for Ushahidi, but I still recommend playing around with the app and testing it out. If you have access to wifi and have a browser on your phone, you can still visit Ushahidi Haiti that way.  Knowledge is power, and this is just one more tool for trying to get some clarity out of that sea of information pouring out of the disaster. -Matt

Our Efforts in Response to Haiti’s Earthquake

We’ve launched Haiti.Ushahidi.com

January 13, 2010

The past 20 hours have been sad, exhausting and inspiring. Sad for obvious reasons. Exhausting because many of us have been working straight through with no sleep. But inspiring because of the incredible community of Crisis Mappers.

Here’s what been happening in the community:

• Ushahidi launched a Haiti deployment

• Mikel Maron at OpenStreetMap launched this Wiki

• Andrew Turner at GeoCommons is updating CrisisCommons

• Our friends at Sahana have set up a Development Team

• Sahana has also set up a Wiki here

• Our InSTEDD friends set up a GeoChat instance

• Our friends at MapAction have deployed a team

• Einar Bjorgo at UNOSAT is keeping us posted on imagery

InSTEDD is also working on getting +46 numbers for GeoChat, the Emergency Information Service (EIS) and Ushahidi. InSTEDD is also in Santo Domingo deploying EIS. Sahana is exploring the possibility of integrating GeoChat based on some work they did at Camp Roberts a few months ago. InSTEDD is also looking to start testing a Sahana/Mesh4X sync. There are several dozen other ongoing efforts but hard to keep track.

http://www.google.com/relief/haitiearthquake/index.htmlhttp://haiti.ushahidi.com/helphttp://crisiscommons.org/wiki/index.php?title=Haiti/2010_Earthquake#Data

I first heard about the major earthquake around 7:30pm (Boston time) last night and immediately called David Kobia to get an Ushahidi deployment out. I have five close friends from The Fletcher School who have been in Haiti over the past two weeks and it wasn’t until midnight that I finally got word that they were alive.

What happened between 7:30pmm and midnight was inspiring. We went live with a basic deployment within half an hour. I called Chris Blow and got in touch with Brian Herbert. They both worked with David to continue the customization.

Disaster Response: Quake Slams Haiti, Thousands Feared Dead

Jan 13

Posted by Matt in Disaster Response, Haiti | 2 Comments

   I have posted the main story about what happened, and below this story is a list of all the ways you can help.  From texting donations to just mailing money to organizations.  This will be a massive effort, and we will see what the true assessment is as soon as the Incident Command Teams send out a report.

   One thing that I am not hearing about, which will be a huge concern as time ticks away, is security.  I have yet to see any advertisements for disaster relief related security operations, but we will keep our eye out.  Haiti is an extremely poor nation (poorest in the western hemisphere), and security issues were a big problem before this earth quake.  My guess is that massive looting and lawlessness will occur after the initial shock, along with attacks against aid workers and innocents in the weeks and months ahead. Providing security for these recovery operations will be very important if we really want to help Haiti.

   The current privatised security operations, in my opinion, will be mostly rescuing clients–hotel guests, businessmen, travelers, or securing banks and other institutions vital to Haiti and foreign investors. Also, expect some of the aid groups to have some security folks. It looks like the various governments throughout the world are looking at this in the same way, with sending teams to rescue citizens, along with trying to help the Haitians with rescue and disaster relief.

   I would also like to remind the readership that the private military company response to hurricanes like Katrina was excellent, and because Haiti is relatively close to the U.S., PMC’s could be contracted to do all sorts of things to help in that response.  Blackwater was able to provide a helicopter, and hundreds of security contractors, all equipped and ready to work in that disaster zone, and they did an excellent job.  BW saved lives and was able to keep the peace at the various disaster relief centers with guards. Other companies were able to respond quickly to the Katrina disaster, and were easily able to offer those services until no longer needed. I would also suggest security for the key communications infrastructure which will insure communications for people and aid will not be hindered.  Security must be a priority, if in fact folks want the rest of the disaster relief operation to be successful. -Matt

Edit: I just found out that the main prison has collapsed, and prisoners have escaped. Also, the IPOA has just created a page for companies that are offering their services for the Haiti relief operations. Check it out here.

Quake Slams Haiti; Thousands Feared Dead

A Magnitude 7.0 Earthquake and a Series of Aftershocks Hit Just 10 Miles From Capital

By NED POTTER, DEAN SCHABNER, STEPHEN SPLANE, AMMU KANNAMPILLY and BRIAN BRAIKER

Jan. 13, 2010 —

A major earthquake struck just off the coast of Haiti late Tuesday afternoon, reportedly causing extensive damage in the capital of Port-au-Prince, and one aid worker said, “There must be thousands of people dead.”

The quake had a magnitude of 7.0 according to the U.S. Geological Survey, and was centered just 10 miles from Port-au-Prince.

The center was also relatively shallow, less than 10 miles below ground, raising the risk of damage.

Karel Zelenka, a Catholic Relief Services representative in Port-au-Prince, told U.S. colleagues before phone service failed that “there must be thousands of people dead,” a spokeswoman for the aid group told The Associated Press.

“He reported that it was just total disaster and chaos, that there were clouds of dust surrounding Port-au-Prince,” Sara Fajardo said from the group’s offices in Maryland.

Disaster Response: The Lesson–Passengers Are Not Helpless

Jan 4

Posted by Matt in Disaster Response, DIY | No Comments

   I want to kiss this writer. Amanda, thanks for writing this gem of a story and I certainly hope other journalists follow your lead.  We need more of these types of articles that promote empowerment and the ‘hero in waiting’ concept, because as we have seen so clearly with the recent attacks, the government, military and police cannot be everywhere and at all times to protect us.

   The government is also doing a huge disservice by promoting this fallacy that they can protect you and me at all times, and criminals and terrorists are taking advantage of this weakness in the nations of the world.  Instead, leaders should be pointing people towards the idea of empowering the citizenry, along with doing all they can to strengthen state sponsored security.

   We should also be helping the government to connect the dots.  Little things like the BHMA that I brought up, are tools that help connect the dots.  The Texas Border Watch program is another way to involve people in watching the border, and connecting the dots. Most of all, an alert and informed citizenry can help out the government tremendously, just as long as the government is doing their job in processing that information.  It takes an innovative approach to think of ways to involve the citizenry, and if the government was a student of Jundism, they would know that people will support what they help to create. Until then, I will continue to promote self-reliance and the hero in waiting concept.

   The other thing that ticks me off on this, is the cycle we go through after events. That government and it’s military and police forces, are way to slow to react to most of these ultra-quick attacks.  And when these groups fail at protecting us, the citizenry screams bloody murder, and then the blame game begins.  Politics and finger-pointing gets fueled by the media, and then the whole thing turns into a circus.  The outcomes usually relate to an increase in government and military size, an increase in safety measures that don’t make sense or don’t really work that well, an increase in the size and complexity of decision making loops, and an increase in taxes to pay for all of that.

    So we get more inconvenience and we pay more money to the government, and yet terrorists and criminals are still able to defeat the security measures that we paid for and were sold on by the politicians.  I say continue to apply Kaizen to our security measures and defenses, but begin to focus more on empowering the citizenry to get involved.  Hell, we could even provide tax breaks to citizens that seek training or reward those that have done good deeds.  We must foster the hero in waiting concept, because increasingly, that is the guy or gal that will stop the terrorist, criminal, active shooter, lone wolf, extremist, spy, and super empowered individual in the mad minutes of an attack or a crime. Millions of heroes in waiting throughout the world, are the ones that will increase our odds at defeating those who wish to do harm. We can’t stop all of it, because that is the nature of man, but we can certainly do more to help prevent and stop these acts. -Matt

The Lesson: Passengers Are Not Helpless

Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2009

By Amanda Ripley

Since 2001, airline passengers — regular people without weapons or training — have helped thwart terrorist attacks aboard at least five different commercial airplanes. It happened again on Christmas Day. And as we do each and every time, we miss the point.

Consider the record: First, passengers on United Flight 93 prevented a further attack on Washington on 9/11. Then, three months later, American Airlines passengers wrestled a belligerent, biting Richard Reid to the ground, using their headset cords to restrain him. In 2007, almost a dozen passengers jumped on a gun-wielding hijacker aboard a plane in the Canary Islands. And this past November, passengers rose up against armed hijackers over Somalia. Together, then, a few dozen folks have helped save some 595 lives. {See the top 10 inept terrorist Plots.}

And yet our collective response to this legacy of ass-kicking is puzzling. Each time, we build a slapdash pedestal for the heroes. Then we go back to blaming the government for failing to keep us safe, and the government goes back to treating us like children. This now familiar ritual distracts us from the real lesson, which is that we are not helpless. And since regular people will always be first on the scene of terrorist attacks, we should perhaps prioritize the public’s antiterrorism capability — above and beyond the fancy technology that will never be foolproof.

Film: Cade Courtley, Contractor and Host of ‘Surviving Disaster’

Dec 6

Posted by Matt in Cool Stuff, Disaster Response, Film | 1 Comment

   First off, this show definitely gets a FJ thumbs up.  Each episode is all about how to survive some really tough and realistic scenarios.  The two shows I recommend especially are the mall shooting and the hijacked airplane episodes.  Both of them are filled with excellent information on how to realistically survive and lead the efforts.  This stuff falls in line with the ‘hero in waiting concept’ I keep talking about.  That there is no one else that is going to save you and your fellow victims, so it is up to you all to stop the terrorists or criminal, and get out alive.

   The second part of this, is that Cade Courtley is one of us.  He is a security contractor (or was, now that he has this Hollywood gig), and this is something we can all be proud of.  Cade is representing his SEAL community, and this industry well.

     I also think that these shows will no doubt lead to the survival of folks. It reaches out to the kid, the mom, the grandmother, the wife, etc., and gets everyone involved in an entertaining and intriguing show.  It is all about arming people with the knowledge necessary to defeat the Jokers, the Mumbai terrorists, the fires and floods, the 9/11 hijackers, and the Hasans.  We cannot and should not depend on someone else to save us, and this show is just one more way of arming yourself with life saving and enemy defeating information.  Be the ‘hero in waiting’ and win that fight. -Matt

Job Tips: Pack a Voltage Tick Tester For Deployments

Dec 6

Posted by Matt in Disaster Response, Gear Review, Job Tips | 3 Comments

   This is one that I recommend for guys working all over the world, both in security and disaster response.  A quick way to know if your shower or bathroom is hot, is to test it with a voltage tick tester.  Shoddy electrical work is not just a problem in Iraq or Afghanistan, this is a problem all over, and if you want to protect yourself, then having a way to test your bathroom safely is something to consider. Not to mention testing stuff in disaster zones to insure everything is safe.

   The Greenlee was recommended to me by an electrician as one company that makes good testers, but there are others out there.  The idea is you want something that is easy to use and doesn’t take up too much space.  You could throw it in your hygiene kit and when ever you are using a shower and bathroom that you are new too, you could pull the tester out real quick and make sure you are not in a death trap.

   Now if you do find out that your bathroom is hot, then definitely tell someone at the camp, and also send Ms Sparky a email about the thing.  She is all over this stuff, and the basis for this post came from a discussion she had about an incident in Iraq with electrical work.  There have been 18 electrical deaths so far, and Adam Hermanson of Triple Canopy was the last one.  We can take matters into our own hands, and just use a twelve dollar device to protect ourselves and others when on contract. Something to think about for your deployment kit, and you too can be a ‘hero in waiting’ by preventing future electrical accidents with this simple device. -Matt

Posted by Matt in Disaster Response, DIY | No Comments

     This is a cool little kit for you disaster response folks out there.  Hell, even our industry can benefit from this.  Internet is vital, and to be able to put together a kit from off the shelf stuff is something contractors and companies can really benefit from. It’s important in disaster zones, and war zones. If you click on the picture below, it will take you to the article at Make, and it will list all of the components that you would need to make the kit. It also fits in a backpack or a roller. -Matt
