To answer your question; the article stated that "funding was approved" for the EOC and DRW. The money was not yet given to the Haitian government.

That means we have to rule out corruption.

It can only be three things.

1) Pure incompetence, 2) Lazyness/procrastination or 3) red tape in Haiti's constitution to allow foreigners to own land. Although during the American occupation of Haiti (1915-1934), the Americans redid Haiti's constitution to allow foreigners to own Haitian land. But that came with a process.

However, I have to say that the Haitian government is incompetent because they know that every single year Haiti's get hit with storms, people die, and they badly need in-house disaster relief.

The Haitian government should have prioritized the issue.

Nevertheless, disaster relief is an after the fact solution.

Haiti also needs a before the fact solution.

Meaning that Haiti needs a solid evacuation plan and more shelters throughout the country.

I said this before, Haiti representatives need to meet with the Cuban government to study their evacuation model.

Cuba has one of the best evacuation model in the region.
