Disaster Preparedness
In 2024, the Philippines was ranked as the most at risk country for extreme natural events or adverse climate change. The Metro Manila area is located over the West and East Valley Faults (100km long and 10km long respectively) which can cause strong earthquakes. BEATS have provided funds to YSI so they can run seminars for churches and communities in this area to train leaders, so that they can mitigate the effects of future disasters by identifying areas and people at the most risk and train the population on what to do in the event of such an emergency.
BEATS has provided funding for Yasera to provide disaster relief training for villagers in the mountainous interior of Bali, so that they know what to do in the eveny of an emergency. As well as earthquakes and tsunamis, Bali is prone to 10 other possible disaster scenarios. Having completed this training, YASERA is using the left over funding to provide the village co-ordinators with high visiblity jackets for use in emergency situations.
YACAN Children's Home, Deli Tua, Medan, Indonesia, is a Christian home, currently housing approximately 40 children.
