The cries for help have been heard…

We are on our way!!!


Rescue Task Force’s (RTF) “boots-the-ground,” team a will be leaving for Haiti on Monday, January 18th, 2010.

RTF’s veteran volunteer Darryl Hall along with Chris Simmons, Jose Garcia and John McRae are packing up their gear and heading into the devastated Port-au-Prince to bring some much needed immediate relief.

“The immediate needs the first few days after mother nature strikes are a given – basic food, water, shelter, sanitation along with anti diarrhea medicines and Tylenol. Within days disease and cholera set in and the needs change quickly. RTF there, on the ground, will assess the needs, purchase the supplies and do direct distribution.”

Perhaps as many as 500,000 lives lost

On Tuesday, January 12, 2010, Haiti was hit by a disastrous 7.0 earthquake. Thousands dead, perhaps as many as 500,000 lives lost. The dead are piling on the decaying streets of the capital city , Port-au-Prince. The country is in chaos, communications are down. Devastation is widespread and relief is desperately needed. Three million people need help, including many children and elderly.

Rescue Task Force (RTF) www.rescuetaskforce.org and World Emergency Relief (WER) are combining relief efforts and are taking immediate action. Our in country contacts are proving invaluable.

RTF has made contact with our in country volunteers via satellite phone.  They are located on the Haitian border and are equipped with an ambulance.  RTF is providing immediate medical supplies including medicines, food, water and more.

The RTF team is assessing long and short terms needs, setting goals and efforts are already underway in bringing in hand sanitizers and cleaning products to the disaster site.
