Coordination: The Mission for the Mission
Port-au-Prince - January 28. Who needs what, where and how much? Who does what, where and why? Who has an overview of the German relief measures after the devastating earthquake of 12 January in Haiti? These are questions which can only be answered when all information is coordinated at a central point. In Haiti this central point is the German Embassy. At the request of the Foreign Office, THW established a coordination office there and supports the Embassy in coordinating the German relief measures.
