Stories from the Quake Region in Yogyakarta
and Central Java

In addition to USAID Mission personnel working in Indonesia, a Disaster Assistance Repsonse Team (DART) from USAID was dispatched to the affected region immediately after the disaster. USAID, working with U.S. military and the Embassy, is working to help those in need.

The U.S. Government, through USAID, has pledged a total of $5,000,000 to support relief operations in the earthquake affected area of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Emergency assistance provided by USAID includes emergency health and shelter activities, airlifts and distribution of relief commodities, and support for humanitarian coordination efforts.

USAID's historic commitment to the people of Indonesia, 40 years of expertise with disaster assistance, and solid working relationships with the region's governments means we are able to respond immediately, providing life-saving food, water, medical care and shelter.
