Where bodies go after natural disasters

Trucks bringing bodies and furniture and house things to a pit where trucks dumb everything into piles that have gotten destroyed by Haiti's earthquake. Through out the streets people are covering their noses because of the stench of the dead crumbling bodies. The fear of disease is frequently the reason for rapidly burying bodies in mass graves.In cases of mass graves, teams should at least document or photograph the individual for future identification, he said. Kenyon has deployed an emergency response assessment team to Haiti. Ciaccio was part of the crew that responded to the tsunami in Southeast Asia in 2004 and New Orleans, Louisiana, after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

It is scary to think about this earthquake and how people are dealing with the dead bodies in streets and having to deal with it. It is also gross to think that things are going around going to spread diseases from the dead.
