Tsunami Response

by Dudley Public Service

Just in case you have not yet received this info ... -----Original Message----- From: Lawrence H. Summers [mailto:official@harvard.edu] Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2005 3:56 PM Subject: Tsunami Response Dear Members of the Harvard Community: All of us grieve with people around the world over last week's horrific natural disaster, the enormity of which is still becoming apparent. Though the events took place far from here, many of us feel a loss that is personal and immediate. Our hearts go out to the millions of people who have been directly affected. Our community's immediate reaction has been one of compassion. Groups across the University have begun mobilizing resources, and many individuals have found personal ways to contribute. Your response has been thoughtful and generous, and no doubt it will continue to grow. In order to assist and connect our students, faculty, and staff who have begun to organize efforts and events, we have set up a Web page, available through www.harvard.edu, intended as a resource for all. In addition, to encourage members of our community who would like to make financial contributions, the University will match, up to $100, pledges made by Harvard students, faculty, and staff to Community Gifts Through Harvard - Tsunami Disaster Relief, and the Boston Chapter of the Red Cross. As a community, we rely on one another for strength and support. For those of us personally touched by these devastating events, talking to friends and colleagues can help us cope with our grief or distress. In addition, members of University Health Services are available to those who would like to talk privately about their reactions to this tragedy. The Bureau of Study Counsel is also holding group sessions for students who would like to reflect with their peers on the events of last week. Many thanks to all of you for your concern, compassion, and generosity at such a difficult time. If you have additional ideas about how Harvard can tap its academic resources in ways that might be of assistance in South Asia and Africa, I encourage you to share it with us at tsunamiresponse(a)harvard.edu. Sincerely, Lawrence Summers --------------------------------------------------------------- Dudley Public Service Fellows Denise Ho, Ernesto Martinez, and Maria Stalford Lehman Hall, 1 Harvard Yard, Cambridge, MA 02138 fax: (617) 496-5459 http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~dudley/fellows/pubserv/pubserv.html To receive updates about Dudley Public Service Events, go to http://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/dudley-pubserv --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Tsunami Panel, Aid Organizations

by Dudley Public Service

Dear All, 1. You may be interested in the following panel discussion of the tsunami disaster. "The Impact of the Recent Tsunami Disaster in Southeast Asia and Beyond" Friday, January 7, 12:30 PM Panelists: Andal Radhakrishnan, LLM student at Harvard Law School; from Sri Lanka and has worked in the Sri Lankan Ministry of Finance Mary Steedly, Professor of Anthropology, Harvard University, has conducted ethnographic research in Indonesia since 1983, mainly in the province of North Sumatra Amal Bass, 2nd year JD student at Harvard Law School; from Sri Lanka Shihani DeSilva, 2nd year JD student at Harvard Law School; from Sri Lanka Moderated by William Alford, Henry L. Stimson Professor of Law, Vice Dean for the Graduate Program and International Legal Studies Director, East Asian Legal Studies, Harvard Law School Pound 419, 1563 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge Sponsored by East Asian Legal Studies Program, Graduate Program, and International Legal Studies Contact: eals(a)law.harvard.edu with any questions. 2. Also, some volunteers have mentioned that many great organizations were _not_ on the list we sent out on Monday of aid groups involved in disaster relief and reconstruction. Thanks so much for your feedback! Pardon me for even saying that list was "comprehensive"! One volunteer pointed out that one of the major groups missing from the list was WorldVision. For more information about World Vision's efforts, visit www.worldvision.org. I would add that there are scores of additional smaller international and local organizations who are working around the clock on relief and reconstruction and who might be doing work that seems particularly important to you. While we are talking about this, here are just a few more organizations I've received emails about, but please take all of these as a jumping off point only. In addition, you may want to consider checking with embassies and UN missions of the various countries affected as they have also set up funds. Two examples of these are below. * Interaction, the consortium of American relief and development NGOs, also has a useful website about what to give for overseas disasters. http://www.interaction.org/disaster/guide_giving.html * The Association for India�s Development (AID) is accepting donations for relief efforts in India. http://survivors.aidindia.org for the "Relief and Rehabilitation Fund" Contributions can also be sent by check made payable to "AID" mailed to: AID P.O. Box F College Park, MD-20741, USA. * Uplift International is a small relief organization in Seattle, WA that is working on getting aid into Aceh, the area closest to the earthquake�s epicenter. www.upliftinternational.org * The Thai community in the United States and American friends who wish to donate money for various relief operations can send checks or money orders payable to: Royal Thai Embassy 1024 Wisconsin Ave. Washington D.C. 20007 Or transfer money to: Wachovia Bank 1300 I Street, NW 11th Fl Washington, DC 20005 Swift Code PNBPUS33 Rounting #54001220 Royal Thai Embassy's Donation Account (Checking) No. 2000020745479 * If you want to support relief efforts in Sri Lanka, you can send checks or money order to Sri Lanka�s mission at the UN: Payable to: Permanent Mission of Sri-Lanka to the United Nations Memo: Tsunami Relief 2004 Permanent Mission of Sri-Lanka to the UN 630 Third Avenue, 20th Floor New York, NY 10017 3. Finally, we thought you might enjoy this interesting "top ten" list from the WorldVision website: Top 10 myths of disaster relief Aid groups address public stereotypes about overseas disasters December 29, 2004 SEATTLE � As they fight to save lives in the wake of the Asia disaster, aid workers also must address myths about disaster relief among the American public. Rich Moseanko, a relief director for World Vision, the Christian relief and development organization, explains the truth behind the top 10 myths of disaster relief. 1. Americans can help by collecting blankets, shoes and clothing The cost of shipping these items � let alone the time it takes to sort, pack and ship them � is prohibitive. Often, those items are manufactured for export to the U.S. from these same countries. It is far more efficient to purchase them locally. Cash is the better solution. 2. Helping the living always has priority over burying the dead In refugee camps and epidemic situations where people die of diseases, it is essential to dispose of the bodies within a short period of time. If they died of other causes such as drowning, they are less of a health risk but pose an impediment to relief efforts and delay the mourning process. 3. The United States must airlift food and medicines to the disaster site Food is virtually always available within a day's drive of the disaster site. Purchasing the food locally is more cost-efficient, and it ensures that the food is appropriate to local residents' tastes and religious requirements. Medicines are often available within the country, too. India, for example, has a large pharmaceutical industry. Because medicines are high-value, low-weight commodities, in some cases they can and must be airlifted in to save lives. 4. If I send cash, my help won't get there Reputable agencies send 80 percent or more of cash donations to the disaster site; the rest goes for administration, operating expenses and monitoring the efficiency of their own operations. Donors have a right and a responsibility to ask aid groups how they will be using those donations, and what will be done with donations raised in excess of the need. 5. Once someone survives the immediate disaster, he or she is safe The immediate catastrophe kills quickly; survivors can face a slower death from hunger, disease and even criminal predators. While emergency medical teams certainly are needed for people injured in a disaster, the best way to keep survivors healthy is to provide clean water and adequate sanitation. Cholera and dysentery can result from drinking contaminated water; malaria-spreading mosquitoes breed in standing water. 6. Developing countries depend on foreign expertise While specialized assistance is always welcome, most relief and recovery efforts are accomplished by local aid groups, police, firefighters and neighbors before international teams arrive. Also, in recent years most governments have established disaster preparedness plans. 7. Relief needs are so intense that almost anyone can fly to the scene to offer help Professionals with specialized skills and overseas disaster experience are often deployed to disaster sites. Volunteers without those skills can do more harm than good, and siphon off critical logistics and translations services. Hiring qualified disaster survivors is much more cost efficient and provides much needed employment. 8. Survivors feel lucky to be alive Shock, trauma and the mourning for loved ones who died are common among disaster survivors. Often, they wish it was they who died instead of their loved ones. Treating these emotional needs is an essential component of relief efforts. 9. Insurance and governments can cover losses The vast majority of the world's population has never heard of an insurance policy, let alone are able to purchase one. Further, governments of poor countries can barely meet ongoing social service needs, let alone provide a safety net like FEMA. Disaster survivors must bear these costs alone. 10. People are helpless in the face of natural disasters The United States is proof that tougher building codes, early warning and disaster preparedness can save lives. Even in poor countries, communities are taking steps to mitigate the loss of life in future emergencies. --------------------------------------------------------------- Dudley Public Service Fellows Denise Ho, Ernesto Martinez, and Maria Stalford Lehman Hall, 1 Harvard Yard, Cambridge, MA 02138 fax: (617) 496-5459 http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~dudley/fellows/pubserv/pubserv.html To receive updates about Dudley Public Service Events, go to http://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/dudley-pubserv __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Tsunami relief efforts

by Maria Edmonds Stalford

Dear Dudley Volunteers, Denise, Ernesto, and I would all like to send you New Year's greetings and also to wish all of you and your families well, especially those of you who may have loved ones in areas of East Africa and South and Southeast Asia affected by the tsunami disaster. While you may already be inundated with information about how to help, I just wanted to pass along one of the most comprehensive lists I have seen of organizations that are aiding in disaster relief. This list was compiled by the office of Dean Barry Bloom of the Harvard School of Public health. Of course, all of us are on undergrad or grad student budgets, but many modest contributions joined together make a big difference. Also, you have probably already received the message over the general Dudley list about the Tsunami Action Group here at Harvard. I have copied that email below the list of relief organizations. All three of us really welcome your suggestions of ways that our Dudley community can respond to these massive tragedies. We are currently brainstorming about fundraising events we could plan along with other student groups and really welcome your ideas.

So we've formed a group that brings together students and practitioners through an online discussion forum. The idea is to be able to bounce ideas off one another on the ways that we may help communities in need through our knowledge of city planning, international development, engineering, disaster studies, etc For example, a group at MIT had already been doing relief work with a community in South Asia and because they know about the city, they'll be helping local organizations with the rehabilitation and redevelopment. They're also implementing some of the technology they developed specifically for this community. For students who don't know how they can help: there is a lot that we can do if we're creative. This is a good learning experience as well. If you'd like to join, you can visit: http://people.fas.harvard.edu/~bhavnani/tsunami.html The discussion group registration instructions: Also please feel free to send me emails with information and ideas for the webpage - bhavnani at fas.harvard.edu ----------------------- Google Group Information ---------------------- You have been invited to join the Tsunami Action Group Group. Here is this group's description: The Tsunami Action Group aims to bring together in dialogue concerned students and practitioners of international development, disaster studies, medicine, engineering to help address the variety of social, economic, environmental, and health issues caused by the devastating Tsunami of Dec 2004.
