To: The Village Rescue Team
From: Relief camp director
Re: People living in villages affected by the yesterday’s earthquake
The intense earthquake yesterday morning injured many residents in nearby
villages. The earthquake also destroyed many homes.
The first priority is to take care of the injured people. Next, we need to set up
tents where people can reside until their homes are rebuilt. There is plenty to eat
here, so finding more food is not a priority right now.
I have asked the village leader to decide which village services should be
restored and in what order. His list will help us plan our schedule.
As more people come to the relief camp, our work will probably get more
intensive. Help each other and try to make the best of this very intense time.
