<p class="MsoNormal" style>This
is the same kind of risk management process that Project RENEW has been using
in Quang Tri Province. Successful examples in France and Germany prove
that we can <i>make Vietnam safe</i>. Countries in Europe have a mechanism to
respond to UXO, similar to what Project RENEW/NPA has implemented in Quang
Tri. According to this article, in western France combat engineers (EOD
experts) were called out 556 times during 2008-2013 to deal with UXO. The
article emphasizes the need to educate the French people on UXO awareness, to
prevent deaths or injuries like one man killed in 2009 when he tried to defuse
10 small shells himself.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style>Project
RENEW is combining risk education – teaching children and adults how to be
safe, and how to report ordnance when they find it – with quick response by EOD
teams, who safely remove or destroy the ordnance. The answer to the
problem is basically the same all over the world – whether in Vietnam or in
post-WWII Europe. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style><br></p>
