<P>18The Military Engineer ? July-August ? 2010 Seabees Improve Conditions for Displaced Haitians Seabees from the Naval Mobile Con- struction Battalion (NMCB) 7 Air Detach- ment are improving roads and installing engineering controls to improve living conditions for the more than 40,000 resi- dents of Camp Petionville, an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in Port-au- Prince, Haiti. The engineering work is part of a larger IDP camp improvement program involv- ing eight other camps identi?ed by Joint Task Force (JTF) Haiti J7 engineers as needing road and engineering control im- provements to mitigate the effects of the countrys rainy season, which historically begins in mid-April. The natural terrain mixed with the numerous impermeable living structures created a situation that needed immedi- ate action, said Lt. Jason Killian, CEC, USN, Camp Petionville Project Supervisor, deployed to JTF-Haiti via Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Wash- ington. The engineering mitigations will save lives and reduce the overall number of people that need to be relocated by over 17,000. Camp Petionville is situated on the base of steep terrain common throughout Pet- ionville, a suburb of Port-au-Prince where the Petionville Club, a nine-hole golf and resort club, resides. The improvement suggestions come from assessments made by JTF-Haiti en- gineering experts comprised of NAVFAC, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Air Force civil engineers, and the Sea- bees themselves. JTF-Haiti, along with the U.S. Agency for International Develop- ment, non-governmental organizations (NGO) and with the cooperation of the Haitian government, is working feverishly to improve the contours of the land to bet- ter handle the impact of Haitis rainy sea- son on Camp Petionville. One of the assets for the Seabees, who serve primarily as advisors and mentors to other engineering assets at Camp Petion- ville, is an all-Haitian labor force generated by an NGO-run cash-for-work program that enables local Haitians to perform more detailed engineering work, such as digging drainage ditches and marking paths for road improvements throughout Military News Compiled by Meighan
