what strikes me most about the next steps in this disaster is the opportunity that exists to utilize the models being applied in developing countries to create sustainable communities. what comes immediately to mind is the Village Knowledge Centers in Chennai , Patriensa, and the Hewlett Packard e-inclusion villages.
The DOT force provides information on international corporations engaged in meeting the Millennium Goals..... certainly we can use these ideas and resources for ideas? is there anyone at FEMA, the Red Cross, Salvation Army who is knowledgeable about these models for development? I just don't like the idea of setting up plastic quonset hut villages 20 miles outside New Orleans.... we could assist these individuals with small loaons to begin businesses .... marketing their recipes, fashions, music... t hink greenpeace who would we contact to start things moving in this direction?
