It is true to say that a M7 earthquake would cause devastation in any country, but this was particularly so in Haiti due to the poor management of the event. There are three main factors to consider when assessing the management of a tectonic event: prediction, preparation, and response.

Saying that, “failure to address these issues not only hurts these workers’ families, it erodes the functioning of America’s communities, its economy and our very notions of what democracy can achieve (Fairness Initiative).” Also, although food stamps are supposed to be there to help working poor families, it still in the end leads to further erode in their economic well-being.

The poorest nations on Earth are usually categorised by the term LDC, meaning ‘Least Developed Country.’ These low levels of development make it harder for the county to develop any further.

Sierra Leone has a high level of dependency on its raw materials for income, Diamonds and Iron ore are highly sought after and the main consumers of these products are the industrialising and high level consumption nations such as China and the U.S. The issue is that these products are mined and manufactured by foreign companies. If the LEDC had the high enough levels of development it could educate it population and these profit providing process could be taxed and boost the economy of the LDC to allow such infrastructure to grow.
