Jobs: Static Security And Mobile Security Positions, Haiti

Filed under: Disaster Response,Haiti,Jobs — Tags: , , , — Matt @ 12:03 AM

   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: Warlord ‘Blade’ Broke Out Of Prison With 3000 During Quake

   Boy, if there was any a reason to call up some serious bounty hunter types to find this guy, now would be it.  All of these criminals will only add to the chaos and heartache of the city. Especially guys like Blade, because you know that jackass is going to take advantage of this disaster.

   In this case, you could set up a bounty hunting program, and put a price on each criminal’s head for capture.  I think this would be pretty effective once everyone is getting fed and has water, and are looking for ways to fix their city and establish order. Of course a prison needs to be set up as well.  I would classify this as a priority during the recovery phase of this operation.

   On that note, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has the idea I am thinking of for these guys.  Set up a tent city for these prisoners, and use the prisoners to clean up the city or unbury the bodies for future identification.  Because putting bodies in pits now is an expedient, but eventually those bodies will have to be accounted for. The clean up is going to require everyone.

   The other one that bothers me, are the mentally unsound criminals who abused, murdered or raped innocents to earn their incarceration. Undoubtedly, these types will thrive in an environment like this, and they must be hunted down and stopped. Pffft. –Matt

Warlord Blade broke out of prison with 3000 during quake

January 18, 2010

The thousands of gang members who escaped from Haiti’s main prison when the earthquake struck have added to the security difficulties in the country.

More than 3000 inmates broke free on Tuesday, including gangsters who once ruled the country’s largest slum with violence and intimidation.

They stole guns from prison guards at the National Penitentiary and went straight to the collapsed justice ministry to set it on fire and destroy any records of their incarceration or criminal history.

Call To Action: Support Team Rubicon For Haiti Mission

Filed under: Call To Action,Haiti — Tags: , , , , — Matt @ 11:24 PM

   This is one of those deals where if you want to give money to a group of our own, so they can go out and save lives, here you go.  On their website, there is a donation button, and they can use all the help they can get.  Their idea is to team up medical folks who can protect themselves, and get them there by overland travel. Thanks to Blackfive for getting the word out and I wish the team all the best. –Matt

Team Rubicon

Team Rubicon 

Family/friends,

I’m selfishly contacting you few out of pure necessity right now. I am headed to Port au Prince as part of the Haitian relief effort. Our 5-man advance team (Two Milwaukee firefighters/EMTs, two former Marines, one French/Creole translator) are flying to Santo Domingo this afternoon. We are liaising with Jesuit Brother Jim Boynton there, who Father Reuter from Loyola Med was kind enough to put us in contact with. On Sunday the six of us have bus tickets to Port au Prince, where we will set up a triage area in the courtyard of the the Jesuit mission and assess the security situation in preparation for a follow-on medical team from Chicago. I have been speaking directly with Brother Jim in Haiti and the Jesuits are preparing for our arrival (see email below). They have set aside a courtyard for us at the mission.

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

   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.
