Apa cerita Padang dan di medan?

Ini cerita Padang.

Summary from video:
-Right after the earthquake, a surveillance team was dispatched immediately to, as the name suggest, survey the whole affected area. Helicopter view / Bird eye view. Liaise with local authority and UN. Are the healthcare facilities still intact? Telecommunications? What about transportation - airport, seaport, river, roads connection from nearest town? Electricity? And most importantly, clean water supply. Basically they have few forms to be filled / paperwork which eventually evolve into a report. Then everyone can lend their hand... and work as a team.

-They need cash. Why? Because they can reach the nearest town, in this case, Medan, to stock up and set up a supply line to Padang. Bulky items like tents and blankets can be procured locally, or if there is no logistic connection to the nearest town like what happened in Acheh earthquake and tsunami 2004 whereby the aftermath was so bad that the leading roads were compromised, perhaps airlift and sealift is the best choice.

-Allow me to share a bit: Last year I managed to get a briefing from Maskargo about the peril of freighting all the rations to disaster locale. That's what happened after Sichuan earthquake back in 2008. Tonnes of rations were airlifted to airports in Guangzhou but no receiving party ie. no logistic connection. Plus, no proper documents for the customs. Basically no liaison with local humanitarian agency. Consequently, Maskargo has to transport it back to KLIA or left them to rot at the airport. Lots of money and effort were wasted... Haiya...
