Some of the damage from the earthquake

The emergency phone call was made to Mission Aviation Fellowship’s Programme Safety Manager.

‘The call,’ Dom Sant said, ‘asked me to take the lead on mapping communities that were affected by the earthquake that struck Markham Valley in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea.’

The quake, which registered 7.6 on the Richter scale, left at least 21 people dead and 30 injured, according to PNG’s Disaster Management Team, with many more missing or buried under landslides.
