Access to technology
- Technology can reduce risk and increase expectations
- At a basic level, it reduces the risk of dying young by increasing life expectancy.
- In the developed world we expect to live into our 70s or 80s
- In the least developed parts of the world the risk of dying in your 40s or 50s is high
- Haiti
- Haiti is a high risk society with lacks
the technology to manage these risks
and improve life expectancy
- Natural hazards
- Impact on life expectancy
- Flooding, usually
associated with
hurricanes, regularly
kills. In 2004 Hurricane
Jeanne killed 3,000 and
destroyed crops.
Storms cause
landslides, destroying
homes and roads

- Key technologies required
- Warming and evacuation systems.
- Storm shelters to provide temporary refuge
- Flood control and
slope-stabilisation engineering
to reduce landslide risk
- Afforestation programmes to
reduce flooding and soil erosion
- Warming and evacuation systems.
- Impact on life expectancy
- Disease
- Impact on life expectancy
- Only 54% of Haitians
have access to
improved water supply
and 30% to improved
sanitation. Only 50% of
children are immunisied
against measles. 300
per 100,000 people
have TB. Around 6% of
the population are HIV+

- Key technologies required
- Clean water supply and sewage
systems to decrease risk of disease
- Nationwide vaccination
and immunisation to
reduce disease prevalence
- Medical technology, drugs and education
- Clean water supply and sewage
systems to decrease risk of disease
- Impact on life expectancy
- Malutrition
- Impact on life expectancy
- Two-thirds of Haitians are
farmers. 54% live on under
$1 a day; 45% are
undernourished. Infant
mortality rate is high at
74% per 100 live births

- Key technologies required
- Farming technology to
raise yields and
incomes, improve food
security and reduce child
malnutrition
- Better transport to improve
food distribution systems
- Farming technology to
raise yields and
incomes, improve food
security and reduce child
malnutrition
- Impact on life expectancy
- Haiti suffers from environmemental determinism
- Haitians are more at
mercy from nature
than those in the
developed world
- If a major hurricane struck Haiti, or drought led
to crop failure, we would expect people to die
- In the
developed
world we
would
assume
technology
would
come to
our aid
- Significant investment in technology in Haiti would
improve the situation, but with a per capita GNI of only
$1,600 in 2002, finding the money to pay for this is difficult
- Haiti is a high risk society with lacks
the technology to manage these risks
and improve life expectancy
