ROTARY DISASTER ALERT
THE ROTARY DISASTER RELIEF ROTARIAN ACTION GROUP (DRRAG)
www.rghf.org/drrag
The Cyclone „Nargis‟ in Myanmar clearly illustrates the necessity
for the Disaster Relief Rotarian Action Group (DRRAG).
When a natural or other disaster occurred, Rotarians most often
wished to work with Rotarians. Moreover, rather than send a „check‟ to
the Red Cross or C.A.R.E. - Rotarians wanted to be immediately and intimately
involved and to take action.

We (DRRAG) are a very new Rotarian Action Group and our purpose is to provide the
opportunities for response.
Operationally, DRRAG will provide a worldwide structure for Rotarians to participate
effectively in disaster response and recovery that will be both a timely emergency
response to victim needs (as we are now doing in Myanmar) and long-term help in
furthering and assisting recovery.
In this our second „Disaster Alert Newsletter‟ we bring to your attention - Rotarian run
and Rotary related entities that are capable of quick emergency response and in
addition we‟ve provided some select international NGOs with whom you might also wish
to work.
We have highlighted a key (Rotary supported) first responder - ShelterBox.
