Some of my friends from PMI have been involved with the PMI disaster relief operations at Mentawi and Obama was in Indonesia. See Indonesisch Blog for that as well.
They distributed relief goods and helped around in Mentawi and the northern part of Bengkulu province, now most of them have returned to Bengkulu City or Curup. Others from PMI Surabaya have been involved with the relief operations around Merapi.
And to all people in Indonesia and Malaysia: Happy New Year!
Jerome hat diese Anstecker für das Schulkatastrophenvorsorgeprogramm des DRK in Zusammenarbeit mit dem PMI designt. Und das ist das erste Mal das ich hier im Blog eine Slideshow eingefügt habe. Zum Blog von Jerome
Today we had the big National Disaster Drill here in Bengkulu. The scenario is as follows: an earthquake has occurred in the ocean before Bengkulu and now the community has to face the after effects of said earthquake and and a tsunami.
Yesterday we already had a staff exercise and at the evening a formal reception and today there was the great simulasi. And we must say it was not a real exercise, because the Indos had rehearsed (!) it yesterday afternoon but more a presentation of abilities for the public and government officials.
They even had water-canons to simulate the tsunami, actually the polisi in them was quite nice and we talked a little afterwards. But they made their colleagues wet as well. „National Disaster Drill“ weiterlesen
