The SEAPCP-KOMAS Mission To Aceh

In Aceh Sumatra, our mission will be closely working in collaboration with the KSKBA (Koalisi Solidaritas Kemanusiaan Bencana Alam Aceh Sumatra Utara).

This is an emergency relief and rehabilitation multi-sectoral network comprising of 24 local organizations and it is established as an immediate response to the earthquake and tsunami disaster.

Our missions will target areas which are remote and have minimal or not yet been reached by any aid and emergency efforts to date. This effort will compliment the overall emergency relief efforts by others.

There are basically 3 main tasks for the SEAPCP-KOMAS mission to Aceh.

  1. Medical Personnel - Doctors, nurses, medical officers, para-medics and any qualified health volunteers will be organised to directly provide emergency medical services and relief to the survivors,the injured, and also to help in prevention of diesease outbreak in target communities. They will also ensure a transfer of basic skills to local persons who could carry on the task after the team departs.

  2. Field Operation Organizers - These persons will complement the local initiatives in Acheh in terms of direct organizing, management and supervision of ground relief and emergency works in communities, refugee centres and disaster struck areas

  3. Video & Photo Documenters - These skilled professionals will specifically document the process and specific issues including general situation of the devastation, conditions of the people, the state of local facilities, amenities, availability of foods, clean water, medicine and process of relief and emergency operations in specifically identified areas.
