These floods have impacted millions of Pakistanis who need help from the international community with providing food, clean drinking water, shelter and medical aid. PARS members, in partnership with Islamabad Jeep Club has initiated a relief mission to help the s uffering population, PARS members and IJC are raising funds through their efforts and will provide essential relief supplies to the families affected by these floods. Until now, more than 1500 people have lost their lives, thousands of villages and town are destroyed and more than 4.5 million people are left homeless or displaced in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province in the Northwest. Due to large scale destruction of roads and bridges, relief agencies are finding it difficult to reach the areas where people are still stranded. Once communication with those areas is established, authorities are expecting a high number of fatalities. In the second week of the disaster, floods are spreading to the Provinces of Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan, along with the Kashmir region where thousands of villages are destroyed and the situation is worsening with continued monsoon rains. We need your help to support our disaster relief efforts. Your financial donations will help provide immediate relief and save lives! Please support the efforts of PARS members and IJC by contributing to our disaster relief activities.

| 13 Aug 2010 8:42 am | G4HPE | G4HPE | Priority 1 - Deployment of Goods | Flash request for items - Pakistan Amateur Radio Society | FLASH APPEAL PARS in association with Islamabad Jeep Club (IJC) and Pakistan Academy of Family Physicians (PAFP) has started relief activities by providing food, tents and medical support to the northern flood effected areas of Nowshera, Charsadda and central Sargodha districts. The Cellular services are down and so is the landline. Last week the joint team carried out survey in the north and the centre of the country and to its dismay the situation isn’t promising. Restoration of cellular services and Landlines could take months. In order to address the communication breakage PARS in collaboration with Islamabad Jeep Club has constituted 2 teams. One would cater for the northern cities linking Islamabad with Peshawar, Nowshera and Charsadda. The other would link cities in the centre and would include, Sargodha, Lahore and Faisalabad and Multan. PARS has already a 2 meter repeater at place and a weak signal whereof can be heard in these areas but would need cross band repeaters to further increase its strength and allow penetration into the remote areas. This would result in effective communication through handhelds rather then reliance on base stations where there is an issue with electricity. We would therefore request International and National Ham Community to provide us the following equipment, if possible. 1. Cross band repeater radios (any brand) 3 (144-430 MHz) 2. Coaxial Cable 100 ftx3 with connectors 3. Power supplies x 3 4. Hi gain dual band antennas x 3 5. Handhelds (any brand vhf 2meter) x 5 The equipment could be new or used but should in workable condition. Please email directly on ap2nk….ap2mks for further clarification and information.

| 31 Jul 2010 9:02 am | G4HPE | S21D | Routine | devastating Flash flood in Pakistan | Emergency declared in Pakistani flood-hit areas English.news.cn 2010-07-30 23:41:43 By Jamil Bhatti ISLAMABAD, July 30 (Xinhua)-- Government of Pakistan Friday kicked off an emergency rescue and relief operation after declaring emergency in the flood-hit northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) as more than 400 have died and thousands are missing. Pakistan also asked international community to help it fight the floods which have hit across the country, making more than one million people homeless. Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has requested United Nations and international community for the urgent help in the country's worst flood for last 81 years which is now heading towards Southern and Western part of the country, local Television Samma reported. According to rescue teams, hundreds of villages, bridges, roads, railway tracks, houses and billions of dollars worth properties have also been smashed in the rains and high current floods. Pakistan Navy, Air force, Pakistan Army and dozens of other civil and government rescue teams are busy in the affected areas but those seem insufficient. The KP government has released about 1.16 million U.S. dollars to cope with the situation in the province but the experts said the amount is too little. More than one million people have been stranded due to floods in various parts of the country and mostly have resorted to take shelter on rooftops, trees and electricity pools. According to the meteorological department, current recorded rains have broken the 34-year old record of torrential rains in the different parts of the country. The rains flooded almost all the main bazaars, roads and residential areas of the provincial capital Peshawar and compelled the residents to leave their homes. Water management authorities on Thursday night ordered to open the spill ways of the dams after water level reached at dangerous level. The country which was facing severe water shortage just a week back, but now has so much extra uncontrollable water. The Silk Route, a business road linking Pakistan and China, has been damaged at seven different points due to rain resulted land sliding. Another road in the NW Pakistan leading to Afghanistan has been closed at Jamrud city due to floods. The affected people are facing severe shortage of food, water and medicine. Especially many people have been reportedly bit by the snakes. District Charsadda, a city in the NW Pakistan, has got more than 100,000 people reportedly stranded by floodwater and the city has been cut off from the other part of the area. Three Chinese engineers along with Frontier Corps personnel are reportedly went missing in Kohistan after the flood hit the area. But 52 other Chinese engineers and their Pakistani co-workers working on a hydroelectric project in the area were rescued and lifted to the safe place through helicopters. Provincial Information Minister Mian Iftikhar asked the people of the affected areas to shift to safer places without any further delay. He also appealed to the Federal and other provincial governments of the country as well as to the organizations engaged in relief activities to help extend aid to calamity-hit province. The floodwater has also entered into the residential area of the garrison city of Rawalpindi adjacent to the capital Islamabad. More than three persons were died when a two story building smashed down. American Embassy has provided seven helicopters to the government of Pakistan which would assist in the rescue operation in the flooded areas, a spokesman of the U.S. Embassy said on Friday. "The heavy monsoon rains have caused much suffering," said NW Patterson, U.S. Ambassador in Islamabad. "We are working with Pakistan's government to review urgent humanitarian needs and hope to announce additional assistance very soon," U.S. Embassy quoted the envoy in its press release.
