                                     [ERECTION]



         S. PROBLEM: THE COUNTRY DID NOT PERMIT US TO USE STAKES TO
         SECURE THE HOSPITAL OR BERTHING TENTS TO THE ASPHALT.


             SOLUTION: INCORPORATE DIFFERENT METHODS OF SECURING ( i.e.
         LINES THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF TEMPER TENTS, AND CONCRETE BLOCKS) IN
         THE TRAINING EXERCISE.


         6. PROBLEM: TEMPER TENT PARTS ARE NOT DURABLE WHEN 1000 PEOPLE
         ARE USING THEM EVERYDAY. THE HANDLES BREAK OFF THE DOORS, ZIPPERS
         BREAK EASILY AND SEAMS ON THE FLOORING COME APART.


             SOLUTION: A BETTER GRADE OF DOOR NEEDS TO BE DESIGNED FOR THE
         ADMIN ENTRANCES (2 EA) AND FOR THE TWO ENTRANCES IN THE CENTER OF
         THE HOSPITAL (WARD 4 AND 5) . THE REMAINING DOORS ARE ONLY USED
         AS FIRE EXIT DOORS AND DO NOT GET THE HIGH USAGE THAT THESE 4
         GET.


         7. PROBLEM: THE DOORS TO THE HOSPITAL ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO
         CLOSE. THERE IS NO GRIP OR HANDLE TO HOLD ONE DOOR IN PLACE WHILE
         ATTEMPTING TO LATCH THE OTHER.


             SOLUTION: REDESIGN THE DOORS TO INCLUDE A HANDLE SIMILAR TO A
         FOOT LOCKER HANDLE ON TO THE DOOR WITHOUT A LATCH FOR EASIER
         CLOSURE.


         S. PROBLEM: PARTS FOR THE TENTS WERE FOUND IN NUMEROUS ISO'S.
         THE TEMPER TENT PARTS FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WARD WAS PACKED IN AS
         MANY AS 15 DIFFERENT ISO'S. THIS RESULTED IN MANY HOURS OF
         DELAYS AND NEEDLESS WORK IN LOCATING AND STAGING ISO'S.


             SOLUTION: PACK LIKE TEMPER PARTS WITH LIKE TEMPER PARTS. PACK
         BY NSM. STOREKEEPERS CAN UNDERSTAND THIS METHOD MUCH EASIER.


         9. PROBLEM: PW ADMIN SHOPS AND ADMIN SPACES WERE THE LAST TO BE
         ERECTED CAUSING TOOL, SPARE PART AND CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL
         ACCOUNTABILITY PROBLEMS.


             SOLUTION: PW SPACES SHOULD BE ERECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
IN ORDER THAT TOOLS, SPARE PARTS AND CONSTRUCTION
         MATERIALS CAN BE READY WHEN A/C UNITS AND GENERATORS MUST BE PMed
         OR REPAIRED.
