The winter has been unusually harsh this year again. It's a constant battle for these survivors.
There are no perfect solutions and none seem quick enough or in sufficient quantity to accomplish the unprecedented task at hand.
We are trying to assist the army and government to scale up so they can receive these new people.
As the winter comes in, the situation has gotten more grim.
Recent assessment and monitoring teams going out on mountaintops have come back having seen some very difficult situations.
The demand for winterized tents [like those provided by CWS earlier in November] is bigger than the supplies available. For those reasons, CWS also began providing alternative shelter materials early on in the rescue and recovery mission.
It has been a challenge from day one to respond to this emergency because of the high terrain, culture, security--all the challenges you can imagine.
We're talking and planning for how to rebuild houses. The recovery plans of CWS are in place. We're talking to people about accompanying and supporting them through the rebuilding process.
