From: stuartbatty [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 25 February 2016 7:19 a.m. Subject: Rotary New Zealand Cyclone Winston Bulletin 6 Bulletin 6 These Bulletins will now also be sent to ROZCOM members Donations are now very urgently needed to support the activities underway. Appreciate if DG’s would convey to clubs. Lautoka Club Distributing hundreds of Emergency Response Kits in the Rakiraki, Tavua, Ba regions. Suva Clubs Emergency Response Team made up of Rotarians from all clubs will be distributing hundreds of Emergency Response Kits from today. An extra 300 will leave Auckland by air Friday to supplement the 714 that we had prepositioned there. Food parcels also being distributed funded by Rotary New Zealand. Savusavu Have made phone contact Emergency Response Kits (prepositioned) are being distributed. Taveuni
A message has been received handwritten and brought out by plane and then emailed to us from Nadi They still have no services – water, communications etc.. For those who know Geoffrey Amos, his property survived but little else did. He is boating across to Rabi and Kioa Islands to assess damage. No road access to South Taveuni (refer Photos Bulletin 4). Emergency Response Kits are being shipped in from Suva. School desks and stationery needed urgently (please advise any contacts) Timber treated D4S 150x25, 200x25, 100x50, 75x50, 50x25, 150x50 all 6m lengths also urgently needed (please advise any contacts) New Zealand NGO Disaster Relief Forum We have held 1 hour Skype meetings each day this week and today Thursday members are flying to Christchurch for in depth planning for 2nd phase (recovery) Rotary New Zealand will coordinate its activities with Rotary Fiji using resources available from the other members. MFAT We brief MFAT daily as to Rotary New Zealand and Rotary Fiji’s response. Their financial and logistical support is gratefully received.
From: stuartbatty [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 24 February 2016 9:37 a.m. Subject: Rotary New Zealand Cyclone Winston Bulletin 5 Bulletin 5 These Bulletins are being sent to NZ DG’s E’s and N’s. DG’s Please feel free to distribute to clubs. Distribution of Emergency Response Kits (ERKs) is now in full swing in the Western Division and out of Suva to the Central Division where whole villages have been wiped out. Also on Vanua Levu at the Savusavu end of the island.
A consignment is on its way today to Vanuabalavu Island on MV ‘Sereniwai' . Vanuabalavu has a population of 1,100 and took the eye of the cyclone right on the nose as shown below.
The 714 ERK’s in Fiji will be replenished by a further shipment being sent from Auckland. We have requested space on HMNZS Canterbury. Still no response from Taveuni. MFAT have put out their offer for us to bid in their competitive grant process. Gathering information and putting a 20 page submission together within 3 working days has its challenges. In consultation with Rotary Fiji, we will bid for funding for building materials. As far as we are aware, all Rotarians in Fiji are safe and well, although many have had damage to their homes. In our MOU with VSA, there may be opportunities for volunteer (construction experts) assignments – 6 month. Please direct any inquiry to us.

From: stuartbatty [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, 22 February 2016 6:54 p.m. Subject: Rotary New Zealand Cyclone Winston Bulletin 4 Bulletin 4 Rotary Fiji is in the loop with Fiji’s National Disaster Management Office (NDMO).
Suva, Ba, Lautoka, and Nadi Rotary on Veti Levu are awaiting clearance and instruction from the NDMO (for the safety of all volunteers) before heading out to distribute food packs and ERKS in the more severely affected areas, as some areas are still not accessible due to some roads being washed away and others still blocked. Labasa Rotary on Vanua Levu advices damage not significant around Labasa. Savasavu Rotary also on Vanua Levu advise significant damage around Savusavu. Taveuni Rotary has not responded to calls. The Northern end of the island where the club meets escaped damage but South Taveuni devasted as was the wharf which is used by roll on roll off ships to offload trucks. A major headache for the island. MFAT are offering competitive funding to NGO’s for major projects. Considering the options for best outcomes within our capability. Public response to appeal has started.

From: stuartbatty [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, 21 February 2016 2:16 p.m. Subject: Rotary New Zealand Cyclone Winston Bulletin 2 Bulletin 2 Tonga Rotary Tonga reports no significant damage and no assistance needed. Fiji Rotary Fiji confirms need for Emergency Response Kits and Food Packs and MFAT have given authority for distribution which will commence today. RNZWCS will need substantial funds to replenish the 714 ERKs we have prepositioned in three locations in Fiji and further will be airlifted from Auckland if deemed necessary. Ba in the Western Division is one town badly affected as historically happens. Rotary Fiji have logistical support, trucks etc..
MFAT have sent a C130 to Fiji with supplies and personnel to assess damage in remote areas. Best wishes Stuart
From: stuartbatty [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, 20 February 2016 4:05 p.m. Subject: Rotary New Zealand Cyclone Winston Bulletin 1 Tonga We are still awaiting contact with Rotary Nuku’alofa and other partners in Tonga to assess the immediate and ongoing needs. Emergency Response Kits are prepositioned in Tonga for immediate distribution if required. Unconfirmed reports suggest extensive damage to schools etc.. Fiji Have been in contact with PDG Warwick Pleass who is coordinating Rotary’s response. Until late tomorrow Sunday, the position will remain unclear. Warwick advises the Cyclone has changed course and will track between the two main islands and is unlikely to affect the main populated areas, Suva, Nadi, Lautoka etc.. Meantime I have authorised $10k to be spent on food packs by Rotary Fiji for distribution if necessary. I will send out an appeal to clubs via the DG’s in the coming days to cover this and replenishment for other aid delivery e.g. ERK’s Emergency Response Kits are prepositioned in Fiji for immediate distribution if required. MFAT and NDRF (NGO Disaster Relief Forum) MFAT and NDRF are monitoring the situation hourly and I will be joining a Skype call later tonight with them.
