Ambassador Lewis Lucke and Army Lt. General P.K. Keen, leading the U.S. relief efforts in Haiti, say significant progress has been made by cooperating with a number of international response partners, but much work remains.
Transitioning into the relief phase now, the focus will be on providing shelter, sanitation, rubble removal, reconstruction, medical services, and jobs.
Ambassador Lucke is the former US Ambassador to the Kingdom of Swaziland, served the US Agency for International Development for over 30 years and is the Haiti US Response Coordinator.
Army Lt. Gen. P.K. Keen is the Deputy Commander of US Southern Command in Miami and is currently serving as the Commander of Joint Task Force Unified Response in Haiti.
