October 13 th, 2005　: Staff arrived in Islamabad
-We arrived in Islamabad at night via Dobai and Karach (Pakistan’s biggest city in the south region)
-The obtained information about the affected area was that the demand for tents was very high because of rain and winter coming soon.

October 14 th, 2005　: Started survey of the affected area
-It rains heavily in the city of Islamabad.
-We are now considering the support plans as below:
  　Supply of goods : tents (If possible, with blankets)
    Area : Balakot city and the villages near Balakot

The road above is now getting recovered.　Aid clothes scattered on the ground.　Everyone welcomes friendly.

October 16 th, 2005　: Decided the area to support
-We went to Balakot for survey of the area. We also visited the camp of Pakistan Army and attended the meeting with NGOs with whom we expected to cooperate.
-According to a resident who walked to Balakot from the isolated village, there were 12 Unit Councils (bunch of several villages) in the area and 8 of them had not received any aid yet.

October 17 th, 2005　: Discussed what support is needed
-We went to Balakot for the second survey and attended the meeting with the cooperating NGOs.
-We decided to support about 1500 families in Tokia, Bojori and Patlang, having consided the followings:
1. Aid should be prioritized for people who have not received any .
2. Sizes of the villages.
3. Whether we can check the distribution of goods.
The considered supplies are tents and blankets. Tents can be obtained in Karach. Other necessities are also expected to be provided with the cooperation of other organizations.
---Water and food are rather well distributed at present, but the supply of shelters and blankets to protect from rain and cold is the pressing concern.
