A response has been received from RI (see previous post).
I recommend that Clubs continue to support ShelterBox as our preferred response to longer term disaster needs.
Our primary aim in the District is to meet Pacific disaster responses through ERKs. Your Club will need to decide how you balance your giving to ERKs and ShelterBoxes, but clearly our priority over the year should be ERKs. So I would promote ERKs while also recommending ShelterBoxes if your Club is looking to meet longer-term needs.
I am attending a World Community Service (RNZWCS Ltd) board meeting today. I may be able to add to this following the discussion which will certainly be an agenda item.

Having said that - all Clubs are autonomous and are free to decide their own response that suits their members and ability to respond.
