RESPONSE TO HURRICANE & TSUNAMI - 2018

On the morning of September 28th, a magnitude 7.5 earthquake occurred near the central island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, setting off a tsunami and affecting six regencies and up to 85 districts. The devastating earthquake and consequential tsunami left over 2,010 dead and thousands in need of immediate assistance. In response, GER³ deployed a disaster response and recovery team to conduct initial assessments, deliver assistance and design programming focused on debris management and building back better. GER³ targeted support to local communities (households, schools and health facilities) and supported the management of debris and shelter challenges they faced.
