American Solidarity Emergency Program

-Immediate urban shelter for refugees-

1. Inter-American Agreement through the OAS.

2. Reservation of apartments for seasonal rent, in tourist cities, throughout the Americas. In the city of Mar del Plata alone, the average supply is 10,000 to 80,000 apartments, which makes a total of about 200,000 spaces.

3. Subscription bank and registration to the system of the owners of the property to be rented.

4. Once ASEP is active, refugees from different parts of the planet can be relocated.

5. Advantages: refugees are immediately incorporated into a normalized urban habitat. They can shower, eat, take care of themselves and even look for work temporarily to help cover the costs of lodging.

6. Complementation of the system with training in telesales and teleworking, making it easier for refugees to obtain income online.

7. Program funds can be administered by the OAS, UN and/or World Bank.

8. As the climate anomaly tends to accelerate, the possibilities of major urban catastrophes grow, and can occur in several cities simultaneously. ASEP can properly assist in the physical, mental and spiritual recovery of refugees admitted to the program.

9. The program was designed by Roberto Guillermo Gomes on the occasion of the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina and received a kind note of gratitude (Sep 26, 2005) from Brandon Possin, Environment, Science, Technology and Health Section U.S. Embassy Argentina. Likewise, RG offered his services ad honorem as an architect to help in the reconstruction of Iraq, but he was not summoned.

10. In case of multiple tragedies, extra refugees may be accommodated in the units participating in the program.

Its advantages are the following:

1 a. Quick and efficient use of the usable reserve of the idle housing stock, located in the same country or in third countries.

b. Greater performance or economic savings when analyzing the cost equation per refugee.

2. Greater and faster effect of normalization of the general situation of the refugee.

3. Greater and more effective real control, in real time, of the particular and general costs demanded by the initiative.

a. Greater and more effective security control in refugee receptive areas.

b. Larger and more effective immediate evacuation plan, using fleets of Jumbo airplanes, between 50 to 100, within 24 to 48 hours, with priority order for children, the elderly, pregnant women, the sick, injured and women in general.

c. Potential for immediate response, given that the Inter-American Solidarity nature of the program is based on the individual response of the owners of such idle homes, developed in tourist cities. Therefore, an inter-American offer list can be organized.

d. Potential for immediate use, given that the program mechanisms do not require any political decision, since they are based on the Inter-American Spirit of Solidarity and on an effective, simple cost-benefit equation per human unit or refugee.

4. Potential for unrestricted use, given that all American citizens enjoy the right to tourist visas.

5. Potential for solidarity participation of multinational companies, within a program whose cost evolution can be fully monitored in real time to the smallest detail.

6. Potential for the creation of an Inter-American Solidarity Fund that serves the purposes of the rational use of this program, and for the participation of the OAS and/or organizations such as the United Nations to guarantee individual inventories of the properties used.

7. Immediacy in the normalization of the refugee’s situation and greater medical resources available in the case of a large number of injured people.

8. The logic of this program is basically simple: there are idle housing reserves for tourism in the low season in the southern hemisphere, when it is high season in the northern hemisphere. Therefore, this park is available if the appropriate rational use mechanisms are created.

9. Given that tourist visas have a 3-month stay, in that period there is enough time for any country seriously affected by a catastrophe such as that caused by the phenomenon called Katrina, to normalize the impacted area.

10. Evacuees/refugees, upon arriving at the homes listed in the Program, receive the immediate benefit of the feeling of normality, security, of being able to take a hot bath within the privacy of the family group, of living with people from another city and / or country under normal conditions.

11. And in the case of health needs, have the medical logistics of the park installed in tourist cities such as Mar del Plata, developed for an additional carrying capacity of 250 thousand people, with the logistics of transportation, communications, food and security appropriate.

12. The Program, logically, must be tested and adjusted in its operation to correct its possible and eventual failures. The need for a pilot test, whether in Mar del Plata or any other city, will avoid foreseeable errors in the event that tomorrow an earthquake, a flood, a hurricane or other high-impact phenomena could cause severe damage to an urban settlement. of high population density.

13. The motivation for this Program was and is simply and sincerely humanitarian. I thought about New Orleans and what could I do to solve the problem?

14. We all, as members of the human family, have local, regional and global challenges and conflicts that we must resolve, given that they put the general conditions of freedom, security and survival at risk.

15. We will advance and resolve such challenges and conflicts correctly and for the good of all, for the betterment of each and every country, to the extent that we can all be loyal to the simple principle of taking care of each other. To seek the common benefit of all of humanity first and then that of each country.

16. If we do not do this, we run the greatest risk of all, which is losing the condition and quality of conscience as human beings, ethically and morally worthy, responsible and free, given that freedom is not a free good but the result of coherent actions in time and history.

Conclusion: During the passage of Hurricane Katrina through the city of New Orleans, a crisis of proportions was unleashed. The entire US system went through logistical and strategic problems in order to meet the high demand. The logic of accelerating global warming warns us all that these cases will be repeated, involving several cities simultaneously. We cannot continue as we are now without having tactical planning to face these serious future problems. We simply cannot and should not leave innocent people in different parts of our planet without sufficient and necessary attention. We must act, but first plan and organize at all levels.

The search for real estate profit made tourist cities in all of the Americas possible with the availability of apartments for rent. This logistical reserve can be used in solidarity at a global level.

The reality of the environmental risk situation that involves all free citizens of the world requires that we vote globally if we want the current system of selfish capital to continue or move to a system of solidarity and cooperative capital. We must participate and vote globally whether capital should be at the service of a handful of billionaires and governments, or at the service of the higher interests of all of humanity.

A Better World, Now Possible!
