got geoint?

Welcome once again to the official Friday’s Food for Thought post. We hope you all had a productive work week. Unfortunately, for many in Haiti, it was not a good week by any stretch of the imagination. The island nation experienced the worst earthquake in 200 years in the Caribbean. And, we covered extensively the role that GEOINT has played in humanitarian efforts. When a disaster of this magnitude strikes, we can’t help but reflect on how fragile the human existence is and how important it is to help out others.
