#FRR20YrsOld Aceh Tsunami 20 years ago, the events of the 2004 Boxing day Tsunami saw the launch of First Response Radio (FRR). this month on our 20th anniversary I look back at all that’s been accomplished and learned along the way! @CDACN @OCHAAsiaPac @ETCluster @UNESCO

@chefjoseandres @SamBloch1 @WCKitchen @WHO @UNICEF @UNOCHA @chefjoseandres @SamBloch1 I am so inspired by your "do it today!" mentality. I noted Sam mentioned the lack of communications. Would something like a @F1rst_response radio station be of help? Sam and I worked together 10 years ago in Tacloban, PH to get a station on the air.

.@WCKitchen teams have now been able to reach north in Gaza with meals! Sam Bloch with @WHO @UNICEF @UNOCHA has been for the last few days getting to hospitals in Gaza City…here the conditions are dire.There is desperate need for food &water in hospitals, and for everyone…is one thing getting food into Rafah in the south but in northern Gaza is much harder. Incredible work the WCK team & all these partners are doing everyday, we will keep expanding more kitchens, bringing more meals to reach everyone we possibly can. #ChefsForGaza
