The 2013 Bohol earthquake occurred on October 15, 2013 at 7:53:54 a.m. (PST) in Bohol, an island province located in Central Visayas, Philippines. The magnitude of the earthquake at the epicenter was recorded at Mw 7.2, located 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) SW of Sagbayan town, at a depth of 12 kilometres (7.5 mi). It affected the whole Central Visayas region, particularly Bohol and Cebu. The quake was felt in the whole Visayas area and as far as Masbate island in the north and Cotabato provinces in southern Mindanao. According to recent official reports by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), 198 were reported dead, 11 were missing, and 668 people were injured. In all, more than 55 thousand structures were damaged or destroyed. It was the deadliest earthquake in the Philippines in 23 years. The energy of the quake released was equivalent to 32 Hiroshima bombs.  Previously, Bohol was also hit by an earthquake on February 8, 1990 that damaged several buildings and caused a tsunami.

International Medical Relief is responding to the devastation in Bohol.  We are planning to bring aid to some of the hardest hit areas in January of 2014.  Our International Director, Dr. Maricar Santos, has informed us that most of the churches in this region along with 222 people have already been killed.  All volunteers are welcome - please apply for the trip at www.internationalmedicalrelief.org - there is a special application just for disasters that will link in any applicants as first responders.

I just arrived from Bohol (0500H 26 Oct 2013) assisting in the distribution of relief goods based on our (IDRN) assessment conducted 2 days after 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit Bohol. IDRN in partnership with KEDRN and ERRP distributed about 900 food packs, mosquito nets, and sleeping mats to the victims in the remote areas unreached by media and relief distributions. Sagbayan town where the epicenter is located was IDRN's focus in its initial respond. This has 5,530 families living in 24 villages. This used to be a progressive municipality is now almost all rubbles. People don't have food and they are in dire need of drinking water. We will help.

Greetings,

What is needed and where will the response HQ be centered?

Last year, I met with local members, but they did not get back to me with there needs, so I returned to the States without providing assistance.
