Communication breakdown increases heartache of Haiti quake

Communication breakdown increases heartache of Haiti quake

The communication breakdown between Haiti and the outside world is causing worldwide panic. those who have loved ones in Haiti want to know if they are okay and survived the earthquake, but the people in Haiti who are alive and well cannot make connections to people to let them know this. limited numbers of phone calls are getting through and people are resorted to text messages and other online communications. Tens of thousands of other people are using CNN to post pictures and information of loved ones who they are trying to find in Haiti, and asking help from anyone who can give them information about them.

This would be such an aweful thing to have to go through. my heart goes out to anyone who is hoping to hear from a lost loved one and is experiencing this panic. Communication is a huge factor in a catastrophy such as this and i agree with olivia when she says there should be a blog or report show with lists of names who have been located so that people can track their loved ones.
