Program Summary

On 30 September at 5.15pm local time, a 7.6 RS earthquake (depth of 71km) struck off
the coast of West Sumatra; a second 6.2 RS earthquake struck shortly afterwards
at 5.38pm. The impact of the earthquakes on infrastructure and in terms of
casualties has been devastating. Confirmed fatalities now exceed 700, but with
large numbers of people still missing this number is expected to rise
substantially. Over 100,000 homes have been severely damaged, with another
100,000 suffering moderate or slight damage. There has also been substantial
damage to essential infrastructure including telecommunications, water pipes

supplies. Mercy Corps has been at the forefront of a coordinated joint
assessment by an ECB-consortium of NGOs, along with OCHA and local government.

To address the immediate needs of the populations affected by the West Sumatra earthquake, Mercy Corps is implementing a three-month emergency response program funded by USAID. The program aims to address appropriately the immediate NFI, WASH, and shelter needs of
