and unwavering support of the American people following yesterday s terrible earthquake We are just now beginning to learn the extent of the devastation but the reports and images that we ve seen of collapsed hospitals crumbled homes and men and women carrying their injured neighbors through the streets are truly heart wrenching Indeed for a country and a people who are no strangers to hardship and suffering this tragedy seems especially cruel and incomprehensible Our thoughts and prayers are also with the many Haitian Americans around our country who do not yet know the fate of their families and loved ones back home I have directed my administration to respond with a swift coordinated and aggressive effort to save lives The people of Haiti will have the full support of the United States in the urgent effort to rescue those trapped beneath the rubble and to deliver the humanitarian relief the food water and medicine that Haitians will need in the coming days In that effort our government especially USAID and the Departments of State and Defense are working closely together and with our partners in Haiti the region and around the world Right now our efforts are focused on several urgent priorities First we re working quickly to account for U S embassy personnel and their families in Port au Prince as well as the many American citizens who live and work in Haiti Americans trying to locate family members in Haiti are encouraged to contact the State Department at 888 407 4747 I m going to repeat that 888 407 4747 Second we ve mobilized resources to help rescue efforts Military overflights have assessed the damage and by early afternoon our civilian disaster assistance team are beginning to arrive Search and rescue teams from Florida Virginia and California will arrive throughout today and tomorrow and more rescue and medical equipment and emergency personnel are being prepared Because in disasters such as this the first hours and days are absolutely 用心 愛心 專心 2 critical to saving lives and avoiding even greater tragedy I have directed my teams to be as forward leaning as possible in getting the help on the ground and coordinating with our international partners as well Third given the many different resources that are needed we are taking steps to ensure that our government acts in a unified way My national security team has led an interagency effort overnight And to ensure that we coordinate our effort going forward I ve designated the administrator of the U S Agency for International Development Dr Rajiv Shah to be our government s unified disaster coordinator Now this rescue and recovery effort will be complex and challenging As we move resources into Haiti we will be working closely with partners on the ground including the many N G O s from Haiti and across Haiti the United Nations Stabilization Mission which appears to have suffered its own losses and our partners in the region and around the world This must truly be an international effort Finally let me just say that this is a time when we are reminded of the common humanity that we all share With just a few hundred miles of ocean between us and a long history that binds us together Haitians are neighbors of the Americas and here at home So we have to be there for them in their hour of need Despite the fact that we are experiencing tough times here at home I would encourage those Americans who want to support the urgent humanitarian efforts to go to whitehouse gov where you can learn how to contribute We must be prepared for difficult hours and days ahead as we learn about the scope of the tragedy We will keep the victims and their families in our prayers We will be resolute in our response and I pledge to the people of Haiti that you will have a friend and partner in the United States of America today and going forward May God bless the people of Haiti and those working on their behalf Thank you very much 中文譯文 用心 愛心 專心 3 大家早上好 昨天 海地發(fā)生了強(qiáng)烈地震 在此我想對海地人民表達(dá)最深的問候 美國人民 將堅(jiān)定地向海地提供援助 我們剛剛開始了解到地震所造成破壞的嚴(yán)重程度 我們從新聞報道和圖片上看到了倒塌的醫(yī) 院 變成廢墟的房屋 人們在街上抬著受傷的鄰居 場面十分令人心痛 海地和海地人民已 歷盡苦難和傷痛 但這場災(zāi)難尤為無情 讓人感到不可思議 美國各地還有一些美籍海地人 不知道遠(yuǎn)在家鄉(xiāng)的家人和朋友的安危 我們與他們感同身受 并為他們祈禱 我已下令政府以迅速 協(xié)調(diào) 積極的救援拯救生命 美國將全力支持海地人民 我們將緊急 援救被困災(zāi)民 并提供食品 水以及藥品等人道主義救災(zāi)物資 以滿足海地人民未來幾天的 需要 美國政府 尤其是美國國際開發(fā)署 國務(wù)院和國防部正與海地 加勒比地區(qū)以及全世 界緊密合作 實(shí)施救援 目前我們的救援活動主要集中于以下幾個緊急的方面 首先 我們迅速查明了在海地首都太 子港的美國駐海地大使館人員及其家人的情況 以及很多在海地生活工作的美國公民的情況 尋親者可聯(lián)系美國國務(wù)院 尋親熱線為 888 407 4747 我再重復(fù)一遍 888 407 4747 其次

最初的幾個小時和幾天是搶救生命 避免更大傷亡的關(guān)鍵 我已命令我們 的救援組在抵達(dá)災(zāi)區(qū)后及時開展援助 并與國際救援人員進(jìn)行合作實(shí)施救援 第三 鑒于所需救援物資種類繁多 我們正采取措施 確保美國政府統(tǒng)一行動 我們的國家 安全人員連夜帶頭開展部際合作 為確保救援行動協(xié)調(diào) 順利進(jìn)行 我已任命美國國際開發(fā) 署署長拉吉夫 夏哈擔(dān)任美國政府救災(zāi)行動總指揮 此次救災(zāi)和災(zāi)后重建工作將非常復(fù)雜 極具挑戰(zhàn) 在我們向海地運(yùn)送救災(zāi)人員和物資的過程 中 我們將與地面人員緊密配合 包括海地的很多非政府組織 在此次地震中傷亡慘重的聯(lián) 合國海地穩(wěn)定特派團(tuán)以及我們在該地區(qū)和世界各地的合作機(jī)構(gòu)等等 這是一次真正的國際合 作行動 用心 愛心 專心 4 最后 我想說明一點(diǎn) 這次災(zāi)難提醒了我們共同擁有的
