Cyclone Evan has struck Samoa causing havoc and
destruction.
Emergency Response Kits prepositioned in Apia are
being distributed to those most affected and back up supplies are being shipped
from Fiji.
Cyclone Evan will hit Tonga and Fiji in the
coming days and reportedly is intensifying.
We have prepositioned ERKs in Fiji and Rotarians
and their supporters are on standby.
Rotary is working with Disaster Management
Agencies in all three countries and we anticipate that as well as ERKs, food,
water and clothing will be needed.
RNZWCS will advance funds to enable these
supplies to be purchased and distributed immediately.
We are therefore asking clubs to support us and
have launched an immediate appeal. We are also working with the New Zealand
Government through MFAT and the NGO Disaster Relief Forum NDRF.
