Abstract
The article examines the failure of the government of Haiti, which experienced an initial earthquake of 7.0 magnitude on January 12, 2010, to engage in disaster management and reconstruction. It indicates that the lack of good governance was the prime reason of the failure of the Haiti government. It accounts how the U.S. federal government had successfully coordinated relief and reconstruction after the Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
