New Zealand DDO player thank overseas Earthquake support

[NovaNZ]

Hi all.

DDO is international. I pug with players from many different nations most weeks.
Many countries have sent USAR (urban search and rescue) teams to New Zealand to help us Kiwis here post earthquake.

Presently 78 deaths confirmed, 168 with serious-critical injuries, estimated over 300 people still unaccounted for.
80% homes in largest city in South Island without water. 40% homes without electricity.

As in the world of Tolkin, the men of Gondor lit the signal fires requesting aid from their neighbours (Riders of Rohan). In the Real World here in New Zealand - we have also sent set the signal fires - and nations have answered!

Sincere Tx

Tx for all the postings of support and well wishes - (other threads on cannith and also dwarf)

Approx 90 members from LA Fire dept (spec USAR) arrived here in New Zealand with several tons of spec equipment last night from the USA.

Official death toll is now 113 (but may well reach 300). Nearly 1000 total USAR personal from 7 countries now all working here to help rescue and recover people.

75% power restored.

National state of emergency remains in place.

Thankfully family are all ok tho still anxiously waiting on some missing friends. The other countries rushing to assist has been great and I know is very much appreciated back home.
