Mission: Tradition Respected & Hope Restored

Our Mission
HRG is committed to assisting and supporting the Haitian people in a swift and comprehensive earthquake recovery effort, which leaves them a stronger, more capable and prosperous nation.

Our Vision
Our "Haiti First" focus starts with training Haitians in sustainable skills and putting them to work right away. It means partnering with existing local businesses, providing safe housing and relying on experts to effectively manage recovery operations.

Haiti First

On Tuesday, January 12, 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti 15 miles from Port-Au-Prince. The initial quake – and 50+ strong aftershocks – caused an incomprehensible level of devastation and destruction, leaving over 3 million people without adequate food, shelter, water and virtually no municipal infrastructure.

HRG is dedicated to helping Haiti rebuild in the wake of this disaster. We know this can only be accomplished successfully with a plan that puts Haitians first – a plan that empowers the people and businesses to be leaders in their own training and rebuilding efforts while respecting tradition.

Our goal: Quick, effective and comprehensive recovery that leaves Haiti a stronger, more capable and prosperous nation.

HRG Services

Broad, Experienced & Expert Services

Drawing on nearly 20 years of experience in emergency contracting and disaster missions, a workforce of over 2,000 and a strong network of local and global partners in multiple sectors, HRG offers unparalleled capability and expertise in providing a wide range of services, including:

* Drainage Channel and Canal Cleaning
* Dredging Services
* Debris Hauling
* Demolition
* Disposal/Site Management
* Landfill Management
* Construction Services
* Engineering Services
* Sanitation Services
* Solid Waste Collection

Opportunities Provided

Successfully rebuilding Haiti starts with empowering its people and its businesses. HRG plans to rely on local labor to the fullest extent, with up to 90 percent of jobs filled by Haitian residents. We will employ local contractors first and identify key leadership in various disciplines to train and mentor an evolving workforce. On-the-job and classroom training combined with contractor support will ensure the most proficient team possible.

Strategy for Success

Rebuilding Haiti is all about the people and their tradition. The task is large, but not insurmountable. It will require an incredible level of hard work and perseverance - two things embodied in every service HRG provides. The Haitian population continues to display these qualities in a time of tragedy along with an incredibly positive outlook on the future. We believe that fully integrating local residents into the workforce will have great outcomes and be critical to the success of this rebuilding effort.

Life Support Camp

With initial plans to accommodate a workforce of 120, HRG is constructing a solid life support camp that can be expanded to house over 500. Equipped with a core infrastructure, this facility is situated in a safe area with proper drainage. Most importantly, it is designed to provide a high level of health and safety, while offering comfortable, efficient living quarters. In addition to serving as the home base for HRG and Haitian staff, the camp is open to U.S. and International Government Agencies as well as non-government organizations in need of accommodations.

* Mess hall with food prep, cold storage and dining space
* Pressurized water purification system
* In-unit sink, toilet and shower provisions
* Fully equipped infirmary and on-site medic
* Access control and security monitoring

Safe Refuge

Months after the quake, thousands of Haitians are still living in tents, surrounded by paper-thin walls with no stable roof above their heads. HRG has laid out the plans for solidly constructed temporary shelters that can be mass produced to expedite the process of providing safer housing for residents while preventing constant vulnerability to the elements. Partner GB Group of Haiti works with numerous construction companies, and these relationships will prove vital in getting the necessary building supplies and lumber to quickly put up these much-needed shelters.

From:

* Thousands still living in tents with paper-thin walls

To:

* Thousands of solidly constructed temporary shelters
* Safe and protected

Debris Management & Landfill Operations

It is a devastating reality that a capital city and its surrounding communities once lined with homes and businesses are now covered in debris. HRG is equipped to clear this rubble and hazardous waste and start rebuilding. With Haitian workers serving as the main source of manpower, HRG will mobilize equipment for debris transport and processing and offer full coordination of landfill operations and flow of material salvage. Partner AshBritt's role as Hurricane Katrina's "Prime Contractor" for debris management marks the largest cleanup effort by one company in U.S. history - further evidence that HRG is ready to put our expertise to work.

* Debris collection and transport
* Temporary debris recycling and salvage site construction/management
* Debris processing, reclamation and reuse flow and management
* Hazard waste collection and transport

Demolition

As displaced Haitians face the growing space constraints and health concerns of an already overcrowded area, HRG plans to expedite their return to familiar surroundings by completing the necessary demolition work. We will coordinate and transport multi-purpose equipment - including heavy-duty CAT hydraulic excavators and a Grove crane - to properly demolish condemned buildings and structures. Keeping in line with our wide-scale debris management plan, HRG will also maximize the reuse and reclamation of materials however possible in rebuilding Haiti to be stronger than ever before.

* Expedite return to normal
* Bring in heavy equipment
* Manage debris
* Reuse and reclaim materials

Canal Cleaning & Dredging

Essential to the healing process in the aftermath of the catastrophic quake is restoring the basics that many across the world might otherwise take for granted. Of top concern: safe drinking water for the Haitian population. HRG is poised to coordinate a full-scale canal cleaning and dredging effort that will address the major sanitation problems currently plaguing the country. It will arm Haitians with the tools and training needed to be part of the solution in removing the refuse that blocks the canals, pollutes the water and poses a significant health risk to the entire population.

* Restore basic services
* Safe drinking water
* Provide tools and training
* End health risks

Construction

With upwards of a million Haitian residents left homeless or living in unsafe, unstable housing following the 7.0 quake, the need for implementing a comprehensive construction plan increases with every passing day. This starts with re-figuring the basic infrastructure and roads of the communities and extends to rebuilding temporary shelters for families and classrooms for kids. HRG has carefully considered the best approaches to rebuilding and has plans to employ the necessary crews, equipment, tools and support services. With HRG at work, the resurgence of homes and hospitals, schools and buildings, utilities and other essential facilities will soon be underway.

* Roads/infrastructures
* Temporary shelters
* Buildings - public/private, schools, hospitals
* Utilities and facilities

Equipment

A cleanup and rebuilding effort of this magnitude requires a full roster of equipment and labor. HRG has outlined plans for training and staffing and has over $30 million of company-owned heavy equipment in Haiti. This includes everything from wheel, track and skid steer loaders to dump trucks, telescopic handlers and cranes. We also have access to a variety of support apparatus such as concrete and power tool packages and water and fuel trucks.

Over $30 million of company-owned heavy equipment in Haiti.

* Wheel, track and skid steer loaders
* Hydraulic excavators
* Dump trucks
* Roll-off trucks
* Telescopic handlers
* Cranes
