Welcome to Petarian - Abdalian Relief Efforts

Our Strategy

• The magnitude of the disaster is beyond comprehension. In comparison, our resources are miniscule. We do realize that we cannot cater to the relief and reconstruction of even a small part of the disaster area.
• Therefore, we have chosen to focus on one valley to provide relief and reconstruction to the villages within its vicinity.
• The valley selected is in Bagh District with around 25,000 to 30,000 population and 7,000 homes / families. The central point is a small bazar called Rerah, which has over a dozen villages surrounding it on the mountainsides both towards the north and the south. The houses are dispersed all over the mountainsides.
• Our target is to provide relief to and rehabilitate this one valley

  In order to achieve our objective, we have further developed the following course of action:

• Establishment of field operations centre at Rerah Bazar, Dist. Bagh, AJK
• Establishment of a tent villages - initially at Samni village and later on at other villages - as interim relief against harsh weather prior to snowfall.
• Establishment of Field Hospital at Rerah Bazar, with forward medical camps at Samni and other villages.
• Referral service to fully equipped hospitals for those patients who cannot be treated at our field hospital.
• Ambulance service to transport the critical patients to the fully equipped hospital at Bagh.
• Stores of dry food at Rerah Bazar
• Daily data gathering, planning & coordination with Control Center at Islamabad
• Procurement of goods and supplies from Islamabad
• Daily movement of goods to the affected villages
• Volunteers manning the field operations for distribution of food and providing medical facilities
• Survey of rebuilding/reconstruction by technical teams
• Evaluating what building materials required from outside area
• Assisting in reconstruction of homes or hospital/school/other infrastructure before snow falls in December with the cooperation of the villagers
