Few know that Humanitarian Resource Institute is a 100% volunteer
organization. Since 1994, mission has been prioritized over economics.
Instead of a business model built on the suffering and afflicted, our
focus has been to expand the reach of Humanitarian Resource Institute's
mission "To Bridge Unmet Needs to Untapped Resources." The cost
has been great, but the only way that progress could be made in a world
where economics many times is used as a weapon rather then a resource. -- Volunteerism & Citizen Journalism: You Can Change The World, Arts Integration Into Education, MySpace Music.

Agrodefense Information Resource According to Dr. Michael Margolian in the paper Agricultural
Bio-terrorism: View from the United States: Since the 1960s, the Department
of Defense (DoD) has worked with USDA to protect America's plants and animals
against disease. In 1971, 4,000 DoD personnel provided assistance to USDA
during a Texas outbreak of Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis. Some 140 soldiers
were enlisted in support of the campaign against the 1983 Pennsylvanian outbreak
of Avian Influenza. In June 1997, DoD lent equipment to USDA for combating
the Medfly in Florida. In 1998, DoD assisted the South Dakota National Guard
in developing contingency plans to deal with a potential biological attack
against the state's swine population. In 1999, DoD's US Army Medical
Institute of Infectious Diseases supported the Centers for Disease Control's
efforts to isolate the cause of New York's West Nile Fever outbreak. .... .... .... .... ..... ..... |
