An Engineering Way to Assist in Tsunami Relief
RedR Canada is the Canadian Branch of RedR (Registered Engineers for Disaster
Relief), a worldwide organization that provides engineering expertise to
support disaster relief by working with NGOs. RedR Canada, together
with RedR colleagues around the world, is doing its very best to help the
coastal nations of South Asia struck by the tsunami on December 26.
It is helping in two ways: 1. Providing engineers and other skilled
relief workers to the agencies operating on the front lines in the affected
countries, and 2. Providing funds where most needed. Please consider
donating your time or your money via the RedR Canada
web site.
