With all the refugees and victims of natural disasters out there, there seems to be a need for more 'disaster management.'

If the house is wooden, then they can rebuild it quickly with hammers and nails, as the foundations are no doubt still there in haiti. this would see the houses rebuilt quickly if you neighbor helped you and you helped them, tackling it as a team, of course.

If they need houses from nothing, they could settle in the forests, where they can pull branches over them for shelter between trees. or, they could use welders to make them houses out of sheet metal, of course.

As for medicine and food, they need to get drones to deliver the medicines and big trucks to deliver the food on 'off roads terrain.' then, they could also parachute drop the supplies to the citizens or victims.

If they want to see this 'done for,' they could simply drop them tablets that have vitamins in them, and this will see they don't get sick that much either.
 
But, where are vitamins plentifully available? food usually has these, and so does vegetables. boiling old leather shoes in water will make the water full of meaty vitamins, as leather is from skin, and skin is from animals. then, there is plants that could be boiled with them, supplying the other nutrients that are available, and, of course, sunlight - as this contains vitamin d.
 
He's literally suggesting people live in trees.

Get help, dude. Seriously. I don't like watching people struggle with mental illness.
 
The most common type of disaster is flooding though, and the last answer i had for this was to pump water out of the towns using fire brigade pumps that they use for putting out fires. this would be like filling up from the town center and then pumping water away from the center.

But, that is slow and requires a lot of fire fighting machines. what else can be done to stop flooding?

If we were to observe that the best method to get the water out is through the streets and such, then we would be well pressed to use this avenue of water disposal. if we were to get construction trucks to push the water down the street, with the big scraping things, then we could get even more water to where we want it to be.

Then there is the added benefit of using electricity to stream water down the street. water is a conductor and will follow the electrical pull of wiring if it is pulled along - i am not sure exactly how it will work, but i know that electrical wires should pull the water with it.

The sentiment is nice but:

I imaging that the houses that they had, did not have foundations to begin with, most are built with old wood, sheet metal, and are something that we( or I) would not use as a outhouse

As far as the medicine and food and stuff,, Lets face it,, It's Haiti, no one really cares... It's a very poor nation, nothing to offer the world.

There would be less of a need for disaster management if they had better management before the disasters came. Haiti always looks like a trash dump after a hurricane. Other island nations fair better simply because they are better going into such storms. Sacrificing chickens isn't a substitute for good building code enforcement.
 
As for droughts, there needs to be a better way to deal with them. it requires water, yes? there is no way to conjure water out of nowhere, so we need to get water from somewhere to somewhere else. the best source of this water is in the clouds above the land they need the water to fall, and, if we were to heat the clouds, we could get them to rain into the dams, theoretically, solving the drought.

So, all we really got to do is heat the clouds. this can be done by using a magnifying glass approach to aim photons at the clouds from the land, maybe? this device or contraption will be here on earth, near the dams, and, simply reflect light at the clouds, many of these devices would yield great dividends on the same cloud, hopefully.
 
Or, we could use sound waves to disrupt the clouds. if we were to cause friction in the clouds, they would condense, into water, of course.

These sound waves could make the air oscillate together, beating the inside from without, like an oscillator. this would be like sending a force of physical dimensions to the clouds, and, focusing them, would result in rain even without clouds! this would lead to, if compression was to be observed, rain.
 
Droughts are the most common natural disaster. if we want water, we could dig for it for immediate results. these bore holes would be all over the place, and, we should do it as soon as we use that stick thing to find it. these could have plastic pipes laid quickly to get the water above ground and into our taps.

As for next year, we need more water then too. if we were to observe all the water we need comes over in clouds, we could 'extract' it by having magnets placed above dams. these 'magnets' could attract clouds, as they bear a charge. these 'magnets' could attract the actual positive and negative charged cloud droplets to two different places in the dam, or, above it.
 
Using a wind turbine, we could spin it fast enough to generate a slow droplet line of water.

Alternatively, we could use a rod that heats up, made of something with a very high melting point, and maybe spin it around to create water out of the air? it will 'fuse' or 'bond' the hydrogen, nitrogen, helium oxygen and carbon into one thing, with the water separating and falling down into the container or dam.

Clouds are already liquid water. Stop talking about subjects you lack even a fifth grader's understanding of.

Heating causes evaporation, not condensation.

Fusion cannot be attained by a heated rod spinning, and water cannot be created by fusion. Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen cannot be created via fusion at all. Technically you could create oxygen via fusion but this only occurs in stars substantially larger than our own. The energy requirements would be somewhere in the absurd to impossible range.

Maybe i used the wrong terms? if you use a kettle, that gets hotter, it makes water vapor or steam, yes? when this steam hits something, it falls to earth again once it collects?
 
With floods, the flooding could be lessened by using creepy crawly type of technology and techniques to divert the water elsewhere, by simply laying them en mass and connecting them up to each other. this is a cheap and safe way to get rid of water, making it flow out of the cities.
 
Bulldozers could be used to make rivers deeper and able to move more water down stream. there could also be more 'rivers' made to 'collection plants' where the water can be purified too.

Maybe the effects of flooding can be lessened by using old 'mining drills' - the ones used for making meter diameter holes, inside the low lying areas of the city, where they could make 'sewers' quickly.
