Fed Event: Haiti: One Year After the Earthquake

"Haiti: One Year After the Earthquake"

Monday, January 10, 2011, 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM, Falk Auditorium, The Brookings Institution, 1775 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Washington, DC

Event Summary:
As the one-year anniversary of the earthquake that devastated Haiti approaches, the government and people of Haiti continue to experience a multitude of hardships. Massive displacement, a devastated infrastructure and the recent outbreak of cholera have all spurred the international humanitarian community into action. However, even with the mobilization of major relief efforts, many problems remain that will challenge reconstruction efforts for years to come.

On January 10, the Brookings-Bern Project on Internal Displacement and InterAction will host a discussion marking the anniversary of the January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Sean Penn, founder of the J/P Haitian Relief Organization and Paul Weisenfeld, USAID senior deputy assistant administrator, will open the discussion, offering their individual assessments of the current situation in Haiti. Following their remarks, Samuel A. Worthington, president and CEO of InterAction; Elizabeth Ferris, senior fellow at Brookings; and Claude Jeudy, Haiti national director at Habitat for Humanity; will each offer insights based on their recent trips to the island nation.

Senior Fellow Theodore Piccone, deputy director of Foreign Policy at Brookings, will moderate the discussion. After the program, the panelists will take questions from the audience.

On January 12, the Brookings Institution will gather the CEOs of leading U.S. businesses for a day-long series of panels addressing innovation in key business sectors, including information technology, green technology, defense and manufacturing. The program will also include state and federal budget experts who will discuss ways to reduce the budget deficit without strangling the economic recovery. Brookings experts will lead the discussions to draw out ideas to advise policymakers on strategies for fostering growth and innovation.
