Unfortunately, since I don't know Haitian law, I do not know what the president's responsibilities are in that case. So, unfortunately, I can't answer that question.
I can, however, tell you that a number of Red Cross organizations are working in the camps in Haiti, either to provide water, to see to sanitization or to help people find jobs. It is a glaring problem in all the camps in Haiti.
With volunteers from the Haitian Red Cross, we are trying to put in place programs to determine which authorities people should turn to for help. The Red Cross is unable to meet every need, but we can direct them to the people who have the necessary resources and the ability to help them, either with health matters, such as taking care of injuries, or even for social matters.
This type of aid is under-funded. Obviously, the organizations in Haiti are under-funded for this type of work.
