[AusNOG] Fwd: [Asia-Pacific-chapters] Your every action counts

[Paul Brooks]

AusNOGgers - In the Internet Society of Australia,  concerned with our own local
issues, every so often we are reminded that we are part of a global organisation with
around 80 other chapters across the globe - and many of them have far greater and more
immediate issues than our own.

Please see People of Nepal need our help
<http://www.internetsociety.org/blog/chapters-members/2015/04/people-nepal-need-our-help>

Please also see a report within the past hour and plea for donations directly to the
Nepal chapter of the Internet Society - I am sure they will be extremely grateful for
any funds you might be able to send their way to help re-establish emergency
communications.

Dear fellows and colleagues,

This is an unfortunate sharing that Nepal is badly hit by a devastating tremor (7.9
Richter Scale) that occurred on 25 April 2015 (Saturday). The aftershock tremors are
still going on. Another tremor hit the nation with magnitude of 6.7 Richter scale on
Mid-Day of 26^th April. Since after the first one, there were at least 70 plus
aftershock tremors of magnitude 4.5 and more. There has been massive loss of lives and
physical property. So far, the death casualties have reached 4500 plus and the number
of injured is more than 6,000. This figure may go very high. The rescue and relief
operation are on full-swing mobilizing all possible means and resources. The
humanitarian assistance regarding the rescue operation and relief package has started
coming in from our immediate neighbors and friends all around the world.

In this catastrophic disaster, The Internet Society Nepal community is closely working
on how we can contribute to the society. We are focusing on restoring communicational
channels and raising funds for the same.

support of #Victims of earthquake in Nepal are requested to send amounts in the name
