Ericsson Response Volunteer supports relief efforts in Algeria hit by earthquake
An earthquake measuring 6.7 on the Richter Scale hit the northern region, close to the capital Algiers, at 19:44 local time on 21 May 2003. It is the biggest to hit Algeria since 1980. At least ten aftershocks were felt.
May 23, 2003
More than 1400 people have been killed and more than 6,000 injured. Bourmedes (50 kilometers east of Algiers) is the most affected area. Several buildings have collapsed, among them a hospital. Telecommunications are cut in the affected areas.
Ericsson has from the Swedish Rescue Service Agency (SRSA) and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) received a request for help with telecom in to support their disaster response in Algeria due to the earthquake.
Early morning on Friday May 23 the Ericsson Response Volunteer Jan Herremo took a flight from Sweden together with SRSA (Räddningsverket) aiming for Algeria.
Jan's role is to coordinate Ericsson's support to the relief organizations. Jan will have contact with the local company in Algeria. Ericsson Response is now looking into how to reinforce the country mobile and fixed networks, and is trying to get in contact with the Algerian Government and operators.
The SRSA search rescue team consists of 75 people and 12 rescue dogs. The team is flying to Alger with a hired SAS MD81, while the equipment is sent with two Hercules planes.
Ericsson has informed the Algerian Ambassador in Sweden about the Ericsson Response Volunteer Jan Herremo already being on his way to Algeria to lead our activities there, and to support the relief organizations after the earthquake. The Ambassador, Ms Aiouaze, was very pleased and grateful and she would immediately draft a mail or fax to her government to let them know about our Ericsson Response work.
