Indonesia Relife-vNATO operation

[Einar Kristiansen]

Hi

 

Here is a little insight how vNATO organizes aid under disaster.We work also together with other VA 's during such operations

This time it was JAKARTA, Indonesia — a tsunami and volcanic eruptions that struck in separate parts of the vast archipelago.

272 reports dead at this moment. 400 is missing.

Above 4000 homes seems taken away by the wave washing someplace about 1000m up on the land.
