As you well note, too many people believe that what happened in Haiti was a tragic accident, and couldn't have been predicted. Yet, its clear that world-wide poverty, overcrowding, lack of health-care etc. is a tragedy waiting to happen. Some might believe that eliminating millions of people from this crowded earth will make more room for the rest of us. But most people won't die. The survivors will be on the move and they're coming our way. If we want to protect our own homes, we need to protect theirs before the roof falls in.
