  • The Influence of Paramilitary Culture on Disaster Response Organizations in the 2010 Haiti Earthquake
    SPEEDING INTO ACTION: THE INFLUENCE OF PARAMILITARY CULTURE ON DISASTER RESPONSE ORGANIZATIONS IN THE 2010 HAITI EARTHQUAKE Jeffrey D. Stern Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Public Administration/Public Affairs Patrick S. Roberts, Chair Anne M. Khademian Matthew Dull James F. Wolf October 27, 2014 Alexandria, Virginia Keywords: Haiti earthquake, disaster response, paramilitary, FEMA, Coast Guard, SOUTHCOM Copyright © 2014 Jeffrey D. Stern Speeding into Action: the Influence of Paramilitary Culture on Disaster Response Organizations in the 2010 Haiti Earthquake Jeffrey D. Stern ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the influence of paramilitary professional cultural attributes on the speed at which disaster response organizations (DROs) recognize, respond, organize, and take action in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Three agencies are examined: the U.S. Coast Guard, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the U.S. military’s Southern Command/Joint Task Force- Haiti. The 2010 Haiti earthquake is used as a case study to explore the influence of three independent variables: (1) paramilitarism; (2) career ladders (i.e., recruitment and professional development of staff); and (3) workforce autonomy. The purpose is to determine if paramilitary cultures help or hinder an agency’s speed into action, thereby helping improve the disaster response organizations of the future. In the case of Haiti, it finds that the combination of thick paramilitary culture, insider career ladders, and high workforce autonomy best enabled responders’ speed into action. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ................................................. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ......................................

  • JUNE 16 – JULY 16, 2007 Aristide Supporters March in Haiti AP, USA
    HAITI NEWS ROUNDUP: JUNE 16 – JULY 16, 2007 Aristide supporters march in Haiti AP, USA Today July 15, 2007 Port-au-Prince, Haiti (AP) — Supporters of exiled former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide marched through Haiti's capital on Sunday, demanding the ousted leader's return and accusing President Rene Preval of turning his back on his one-time ally. Chants of "Preval is a traitor!" and "Bring Aristide home!" rose up as more than 1,000 protesters marched from the Port-au-Prince slum of Bel-Air to the heavily guarded National Palace, Preval's official residence. "We helped Preval get in power and now he has turned his back on us. We still love Aristide and we want him home," Erick LeBon said during the march, which was called to mark Aristide's 54th birthday. UNREST: Haitian government, U.N. seek to disarm gangs A former slum priest-turned-president, Aristide was toppled during a 2004 rebel uprising. He was flown out of the country aboard a U.S.-supplied jet and later accused the United States of kidnapping him in a coup — a charge Washington denies. Currently exiled in South Africa, Aristide has said he wants to return to Haiti but that the timing depends on Preval, his former prime minister and political protege. Preval, a champion of the poor overwhelmingly elected last year with help from Aristide supporters, has said Haiti's constitution allows Aristide to return but has not taken steps to bring him back. The two men are no longer close and reportedly have not spoken in years.
