Rotary International staff members are working with District 3400 to acquire information about Rotarian-led disaster relief efforts after a tsunami and volcanic eruption killed more than 370 people and displaced tens of thousands in Indonesia.
The tsunami, triggered by a 7.7 magnitude earthquake on 25 October, destroyed villages on the remote islands of Mentawai. More than 400 people remain missing. A day after the tsunami hit, Indonesia's Mount Merapi erupted, killing more than 30 people and displacing 40,000 as residents fled the area.
Updates will be posted at www.rotary.org as they become available. Please send any questions or concerns regarding these disasters to relief@rotary.org.
