Gabni 16. Rambada Taking a rapid survey and talking to local residents who have survived the tragedy, the following demand for relief has been sent by the team to the Organisation’s Delhi Head Quarters: 1. Immediate Relief Work With traditional signaling that locals use to alarm the lower areas of approaching floods local residents could hardly attempt to save anything but their lives and only few succeeded. The survivors who ran up-hill to save themselves returned only to find that their houses and belongings have been washed and many families have no clue about the lost family members. Village like Gabni does not have even one house standing. People are stranded and have taken refuge either in college building, houses of relatives or neighbors. The immediate basic minimum relief required is: i. Food&Water ii. Utensils – (Steel Glass, Steel Plates, Spoons, Tumblers 15,000 each) iii. Tent 12’ x 14’ (2000 in number) iv. Daily Supplies (Tooth Paste, Tooth Brush, Buckets&Mugs, Soaps) 15000 each v. Other amenities: (Blankets, woollens, tarpaulins, rain-coats, umbrellas, torches, solar lamps, socks, shoes&kitos, and caps) 15000 each minimum. 2. Setting up of Make-shift Hospital With health needs emerging from; possibilities of epidemic breaking due to decaying dead bodies, trauma, injuries and basic health needs as most dispensaries being damaged, it is proposed to establish a make-shift hospital at Rudraprayag district which will serve to the areas listed. i. IV Stands, ii. Medicines&Vaccines iii. Folding Cots iv. Dressing Stools v. Almiras for Storing Medicines vi. Water –proof tenting for hospital vii.

Rehabilitation&Resettlement of Displaced Residents: Considering the weather immediately after the monsoon winters will fall upon this Himalyan State. Development of temporary shelter homes, repair of houses and resettlement of people whose villages have been totally destroyed is most pressing need.

And soon a plan will be proposed which will primarily look to rehabilitate orphans, widows, elderly and displaced residents. We are requesting those citizens of India who have the potential to contribute to help the survivors who have been left with very little or no support system for sustaining their life.
