The Armenian rescue team, created in the aftermath of the 1988 earthquake that killed tens of thousands of Armenians and destroyed large portions of northeastern Armenia, will include specialists, search dogs, and advanced equipment. Tens of thousands are feared dead as a result of the Haitian earthquake, which measured 7.0 on the Richter Scale. The Armenian team has a track record of rapidly deploying to disaster sites around the world. On Monday, January 18th, 8:30 PM Pacific / 11:30 PM Eastern, Horizon Armenian TV's Paul Chaderjian will be speaking with ANC activist Alina Dorian, PhD, Assistant Director at the UCLA Center for Public Health and Disasters, in a special segment titled: Haiti & You - Armenians, Awareness, & Activism. Dorian will survey the Haiti crisis, talk about how she and her colleagues are responding, how community members can help, and what we all need to know about emergency preparedness. Dr. Dorian will also talk about about her first-hand experiences during emergencies like the 1988 Spitak Earthquake, the health care crisis after the Liberation War in Artsakh, and her efforts around the world including in Kosovo and Turkey. The special report can be viewed live on Horizon Armenian Television, online at www.horizonarmeniantv.com, with excerpts posted on the ANCA YouTube Channel - www.youtube.com/ancagrassroots . A number of options are available for donors, including on-line contributions to the Armenian Relief Society and even a texting option, set up by the Red Cross, that allows individuals to give $10 by sending the message "Haiti" to 90999 on their cell phone. To date, this mobile giving effort has raised more than $3 million for the Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti.
