The international response to the earthquake in Haiti has been impressive however there still exist a significant lack of coordination in the relief effort.  The US as well as other organizations are pulling valuable reources out of the country declaring the rescue mission over.  However, communications, food, shelter, sanitation, healthcare and other basic essiential are still critically substandard.  Although all disasters are local in nature, Haiti command and control is non-existant.  New leadership is developing in local camps and resources distribution is sole based on power control.  As this is a disaster with international implications, it may be best served by a UN response for coordination of effort.  Until a coordinated effort is developed the people of Haiti will continue to suffer.
