Santo Domingo.- As much as 60% of Dominican Republic’s territory is prone to flooding and from 60 to 70% are at risk of landslides, Efe reports Thursday.
National Emergency Commission director Luis Luna Paulino’s revelation marks the start of the Atlantic hurricane season today, but noted that emergency plans and crews are prepared to act, supported by 10,000 volunteers.
He said the highest risk is the Bajo Yuna region, which spans the north-central and northeastern provinces Maria Trinidad Sanchez, Duarte, Salcedo, Sanchez Ramirez and Monseñor Noel. "That whole area is flood prone; it’s the most sensitive to flooding from prolonged rainfall."
Luna also included San Pedro de Macoris (east), Monte Cristi (northwest) and San Cristobal (west of Santo Domingo) among the areas most exposed to storm damage.

Maybe they could get these 10,000 volunteers during the drier season to plant trees in areas that are in need to prevent more land slides. Stop those removing trees, move people living in flood prone areas away and not allowing them back.... It's not like these are new flooding areas...... are they? Most areas that a prone to flooding have very well know high water lines.
Could be a good job for the Army??? hahahhahhahha sorry that would be just wishful thinking...

A big chunk of the territory is prone to feral peasant squatters inappropriate land use, causing flooding, landslides. No point re-planting trees until they've been compulsorily sterilized and re-located.

Hyothetical, josean,
It should and could be done on every feral peasant illegally squatting - not difficult to determine. However this country doesn't even have the will to enforce road rules. Such a draconian though necessary measure will never be taken. Even if the government had the will, it would be prevented by the Catholic Church. Eventually all this will be academic when Sharia Law takes over. In the meantime most law-abiding Dominicans that are prepared to do an honest days work will have left the country, leaving behind the corrupt and the lazy. When was the last time any Dominican achieved anything of world significance, while still in the country?

Mein Führer,
Which human beings have the right to tell other human beings that they should or should not procreate?
I think I will stick with this as guiding principle:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created EQUAL, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

josean,
You know damn well there is no creator and never has been. Regardless, the right to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." does not include the right to have kids you can't feed, educate or shelter, or to destroy the environment, even if it makes you "happy". Overpopulation infringes on the "rights" of law-abiding and responsible folk, particularly in the Dominican Republic. That's why so many are leaving, as the crime rate continues to climb.

"Taking on the overpopulation myth"
"The world’s population growth rate maxed out in 1965 and has been in sharp decline.”The unprecedented fall in fertility rates that began in postwar Europe has, in the decades since, spread to every corner of the globe, affecting China, India, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America,” says Mr. Mosher. “The latest forecasts by the United Nations show the number of people in the world shrinking by midcentury, that is, before today’s young adults reach retirement age.” The birthrate of Europe taken as a whole, from Ireland to Russia, is only 1.5 children per woman in her lifetime, far below the minimal replacement rate of 2.1. Latin America’s is down to 2.4 and dropping fast. China’s is 1.7. South Korea’s is a mere 1.1. The United States is the only developed country at or above replacement rate; we’re right at 2.1."

"Mr. Mosher provides the material to counteract the overpopulation myth still dominant in the mainstream media, and peppers his straightforward text with illustrative stories from real people’s lives. Ever since he became the first Western social scientist to document the forced abortions going on as part of China’s Western-supported population control program 30 years ago, Mr. Mosher has been waging a campaign against the population controllers of the Earth."

Though these latecomers may never admit it, Mr. Mosher’s has been one of the voices crying against the anti-people movement for a long time, and his latest book should be read by all those who want to know why thriving human populations are reasons to rejoice rather than fear.

Yes it has slowed but as long as the growth rate is above 1, growth it is still going up...
A little about him.
It is better to let a woman die than give her an abortion. That is exactly what Steven W. Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute believes. And he is the man that Bush has listened to on this subject. He believes that U.N. family planning programs are part of a New World Order conspiracy. He makes the unbelievable claim that the entire world’s population could fit comfortably in the state of Texas.
PRI’s research is contrary to research done by more legitimate organizations. PRI’s so-called experts hold no academic or research credentials. Mosher lacks a doctorate in China studies, population studies, or any field of research, yet he is repeatedly cited as an anthropologist and sociologist, something you normally have to have a degree for. In fact, he was kicked out of Stanford University’s anthropology program for illegal and seriously unethical conduct.

“The massive distribution of condoms in Africa has not only not stopped the spread of AIDS, it has put millions of more at risk of infection in the name of prevention.”
“The sad truth is, USAID's family planning programs in Africa have caused AIDS. The integration of AIDS relief and family planning is a recipe for further disaster.”

Thank you for exposing the evil Mosher.
World population in 1965 was 3.3 billion
in 2011 it passed 7.0 billion and is still increasing
That's not a "myth" in my book.
It is increasing amongst those who can least afford it, especially in the Dominican Republic, regardless of PLD or PRD.

The video is a joke, right? I mean, it's gotta be!
Even forgetting the earth has finite resources, the math is up the sh!t.
Of course the percentage rate of increase, reduces even if the population increases linearly. However it does not follow that it will reach zero, then become negative. It would approach an asymptote. Meanwhile the environment is being destroyed. The capacity of the planet to support people, despite technological advances, is reducing. A crisis is inevitable. Most humans are stupid, and they are increasing their majority. The population of the planet is already beyond a sustainable level.

The population of Homo sapiens will not drop until well into the next Dark Ages, when Islam becomes universal. We may even become extinct, but not until we have extinguished many more species than we have already done.
The video is correct in that the population of the earth will not continue to increase exponentially, or even linearly, indefinitely. However the implication is, there is noting to worry about - somehow it is self-correcting. Yes it will level out eventually, with the destruction of civilization. Hopefully I'll be long dead by then, so I will care even less than I do now.
