Aloha,

Great article.  Good to read about this kind of work being done and the
designers getting asked by UN heavies, military, etc. to do more.

Too bad this sort of thing doesn't make the 6 o'clock network news, eh?

The best part IMO is that he shows, from on-the-ground experience, how
meeting immediate/crisis needs *can* (could have been, in this case) be
integrated with implementing longer-term elements (here, for example,
bulldozing those flood-ending water-infiltrating swales the first time
around, had people with the basic design skills been on the job).
