Background
On 28 September 2018, a 7.5M earthquake struck the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia and triggered a tsunami directly affecting over 650,000 people, and potentially affecting over 2,000,000. Most recent reports estimate over 2,000 deaths and 81,000 displaced persons. These figures have been significantly raising since access has improved.

CRS is also in the process of implementing a technical assessment the results of which will inform the development of a longer-term recovery strategy.
