  • El Salvador Earthquake Operation Has Been Extended Until the End of the Year 2002
    EL SALVADOR: EARTHQUAKE 04 June 2002 Appeal No. 2/2001 Revised Appeal launched on 24 January 2001 for CHF 9,385,698 for 14 months Beneficiaries: 154,000 Operations Update No. 18 Period covered: 7 January - 8 April 2002 (last Ops Update issued: 11 January); Next Ops Update No. 19 expected July 2002. El Salvador Earthquake Operation has been extended until the end of the year 2002. As of June, Operations Updates will be issued every three months. “At a Glance” Appeal coverage: 112.6% Related Appeals: 01.18/2002 Pan American Disaster Response Unit; 01.19/2002 Central America Outstanding Needs: None The Disaster/Situation: The 14 month period of the El Salvador earthquake operation has been covered, and as rehabilitation activities move into longer term development programmes, there is a need to extend the operation until at least the end of 2002. During the emergency phase, the earthquake operation covered the most immediate needs of the most affected population, but in El Salvador, as is the case in most of the countries in the region, the vulnerability of the population is mainly caused by structural factors. Therefore, and thanks to further available funding, Federation support to Salvadorean Red Cross Society (SRC) programmes has been extended to assist the most vulnerable focusing on long term development in the areas of health, disaster preparedness and community development. This will be carried out through a parallel process, working to strengthen the National Society at both headquarters and branch level. Operational Developments: The Salvadorean Red Cross Society, with support from the Federation, marked the anniversary of the earthquakes that took El Salvador by surprise on 13 January and 13 February 2001 through the publication of various articles, presentations, a photo gallery, and informative documentation on the Federation's web site.
