As you are all aware, our friends in New Zealand have been faced with a catastrophic earthquake.

We at Disaster Aid Australia, together with our international partners Canada, USA, UK & Ireland, have been in contact with the New Zealand authorities and also PDG Stuart Batty of RNZWCS (Rotary New Zealand World Community Service) to offer our services in the form of our family survival packs, water systems and the services of our trained and qualified Rotarian volunteer DARTS (Disaster Aid Response Team members).

We have been advised that, at this stage, there is no requirement for assistance from Disaster Aid. We will keep you informed of any future developments.

Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to call our office on 1300 881 913.

Our thoughts and our prayers are with all those affected by this devastating disaster.

Disaster Aid Australia together with its international partners Canada, USA, UK & Ireland have offered to assist in any way we can. Although our charter is to provide humanitarian aid in developing countries, we cannot stand by without making that offer.

Disaster Aid Australia have been in contact with the Queensland government authorities offering support and aid in the form of tents and also the expertise of our Disaster Aid Response Team members. Our teams recently returned from flood devastated Pakistan and are on standby to assist should the authorities make a request.

Disaster Aid Australia also contacted the Victorian authorities to offer assistance to those in Western Victoria who have been evacuated from their homes due to floods.
