Cross posting this from my forum.
A friend of ours, the manager of Sub Sea Research, is working to help those in Haiti.
Greg (shiprex) has been very active there over the years and has the equipment and ability to help.
He has a few ships (he recovers ship wrecks for a living) and will be heading out soon.
Here is his post:
We at Sub Sea Research have worked in Haiti for several years and have many friends we have not heard from since the disaster. Our hearts and prayers go out to all. We are now trying to mobilize a rescue mission to bring food and water to Port-au-Prince and outlying areas. Our ship holds 110,000 gals of fuel and 50,000 gals of drinking water. We can carry on deck 1 million pounds of supplies, food etc. We can make fresh water on board. We also have underwater detecting equipment as well as a 100 ton a-frame lift and 40 ton crane. We need to fill our ship with supplies to bring to Haiti to help. Please pass the word and we can do this. Our ship is berthed in Boston and is ready to go. We New Englanders were there for Katrina, we’re there for Haiti. The big organizations and FEMA failed at the onslaught of hurricane Katrina. We loaded our ship with supplies and along with others we set sail to the mouth of the Mississippi river to deliver these much needed supplies. We were told we could not go there by the Coast Guard, as well as others. We went anyway. The supplies we delivered helped hundreds of people who had nothing! We have video on our website. We know Haiti, and with help we can make a difference.
We are collecting cash donations for fuel and food supplies. Whatever you can do will help!
We have word from our attorney in Haiti, things are bad and getting worse. People are starving, no water, no medical. Remember this, governments are slow at doing things, we can do it now.
