Early warning allowed 126,000 people to evacuate the town before the disaster. Evacuation priority was given to elderly people, people with illness, children under the age of 18 years, men and women with children, men and women over the age 22. 16,000 young people, between the ages of 18 and 22 were left in the town when all available transport had been filled.

The earthquake has destroyed all electricity generation, water purification, and roads into the town. An air evacuation has been planned to take place in 72 hours when sufficient helicopters have been assembled to begin an airlift from the town to the assembly point 35 kilometres away. Other organisations have been engaged to transport the trapped persons, but International Rescue must provide food and water to the trapped people, and plan the final evacuation.

International Rescue has deployed its assets to within 35 kilometres of the disaster area.

Within its asset inventory, International Rescue has immediate access to five C130 transport aircraft and 2000 Pouncer Drones, from Windhorse Aerospace.

International Rescue will have a fleet of one hundred NATO AS532 Cougar helicopters available within seventy-two hours to begin the final evacuation.

Only one helicopter landing area is available in the disaster zone, and it takes a total of 11 minutes to load twenty organised people into one helicopter. Only one helicopter may land in the zone at a time and there is a required five minute window after the departure of a helicopter from the disaster area landing zone before another helicopter may land.

International Rescue must supply for 16000 persons, for at least 72 hours:

7.5 litres of water per person per day

150 grams of protein per person per day

500 grams of canned vegetables per day
