Aftermath Of 'Hannibal':

[Rhomanoi]

Official Imperial Communique

 

Today, at 10:37 local time, the large winter storm formally known as 'Hannibal' made landfall on our eastern coastline, 10km from the city of Nea Thessalonika. The resulting damage from this monster storm is extensive, and has left upwards of 200 people dead and many hundreds more injured. The infrastructure of the Chalcidice theme has been heavily damaged in the storm, and the heavy rains are raising the risk of river flooding in many low-lying regions along the coast. The principal port town in the region, Naxiona, has been blocked with sand and the highway through the region is blocked with debris.

 

As a result of this storm, the Imperial government has found its resources stretched to near breaking point by the demands of the affected region. Therefore, we are formally appealing to the international community at large or aid. We will accept aid from NGOs' or governments. We principally need food, tents, blankets and medical equipment. Medical and engineering staff and their equipment are also required, and the deployment of military units with these powers is acceptable.

 

At this moment in time, we can handle the security situation, which is very calm, though if any wider-scale disturbances bubble up, then we may require military assistance to bring it under control.

Re: Aid

 

Honoured brethren,

 

Aid is being collected as this message is being written. The first aircraft will be dispatched as soon as possible, but we must know if there are suitable landing sights for our aeroplanes, as this storm does appear to have wide impact across Rhomanoi.

 

We will ready army units to provide manpower as well as expertise in engineering and field medicine, but as you can imagine, these will take a long time to get to the area in question, due to the scale of the distance between our two nations.

Honoured Brethern,

 

We that you for your prompt response, and your readiness to aid us in our hour of need. We have managed to clear the runway of Nea Thessalonika International Airport of debris, and the airport is now ready to begin receiving aid flights from other nations.

 

Your additional manpower will be most appreciated, and we are preparing additional billets for your troops upon their arrival.

Re: Aid

 

Most Christian Allies,

 

The first of the aid shipments sent should be arriving in your airspace within the hour. It is a small fleet of four large transport aircraft, carrying blankets, cold weather tents, food and medical supplies. Each aircraft has one of these each. Two heavy-duty military aircraft are also accompanying them, each with a Holy Imperial Medical Corps battalion on them, as well as special equipment to treat most injuries.

 

We would also like to dispatch a small fleet of the Holy Imperial Navy, so that manpower from these vessels (Naval Guardsmen and sailors) can provide as many more helping hands.

We can offer a sum of IJ$2.4 million for the relief effort. We can also despatch naval units from Kumatsoy, should you need more troops to help in the recovery operations. SAR missions can also be initiated by our navy, should you so desire.

[Rekamgil]

We are distressed to hear of the natural disaster in your nation. We have readied the following aid, which is on its way:

 

First: We have readied four units of the Rekamgil Army Medical Corps (RAMC). RAMC units consist of a field hospital, forward dressing stations, a laboratory, an X-Ray unit, a pharmaceutical distribution centre, a psychological treatment centre, a Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU) unit, and the following personnel (plus, of course, administrative personnel):

 

Non-Commissioned Members

Aero-Medical Technician

Bio-Medical Electronic Technician

Medical Technician

Medical Laboratory Technician

Operating Room Technician

Physician Assistant

Preventive Medicine Technician

X-Ray Technician

 

Officers

Bio-Science Officer

Health Care Administrator

Health Services Operations Officer

Medical Officer

Nursing Officer

Pharmacist

Physiotherapist

Social Work Officer

 

The Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU) is an advanced water treatment system capable of purifying any water source found in the world. It can be used to treat water contaminated by nuclear-biological-chemical warfare agents, as well as fresh, brackish and seawater. The ROWPU is a fully integrated self-contained system with its own diesel power generator, automatic control system, and a double-pass reverse osmosis water purification system. The system is contained in a palletized enclosure enabling it to be transported via all modes of military transport.

 

A ROWPU Unit

 

Second: We have dispatched our large government cruise ship the RPS Peace Ship. This can house up to 2000 people in comfortable quarters until more permanent housing can be found ashore. We will provide their food and entertainment while on board. We suggest that families with young children be housed on the Peace Ship because there are many fun activities on board for the children.

Third: We have dispatched 4000 Medical Aid Kits

Fourth: We have dispatched 10,000 ration kits

Fifth: We have dispatched one unarmed unit of the Rekamgil Army to help rebuild dykes, housing, and infrastructure. These troops will be at your disposal, you just need to go through their commanding officer. This unit is being transported by the Reka Navy and bring with them 6 large transport helicopters which they can also use to help in difficult rescues and for transporting supplies and personnel.

 

Sixth (and finally): We have transferred $700,000 to you to help in your relief and humanitarian efforts.

 

We sincerely hope that our efforts will assuage some of your most dire anguish. We also hope that this cooperation will herald a new era of closer relations between our nations since we have had very little to do with one another thus far. We hope your fortunes improve.

 

Sincerely,

 

Director General of Relief Operations

Troops and equipment are sent off. They will arrive at 1530

[Rekamgil]

You are most welcome. We are happy to help. Out units are now operating in Rhomanoi. Our government news agency has sent a television and radio crew to cover the work of our troops and workers. A one hour expose was broadcast to the nation last night and everyone here is proud of our men and women in the field. Our citizens have been moved by your plight and have tried to organize a civilian relief effort with man and women of all ages sgning up to go to Rhomanoi. The government has dissuaded them from actually travelling to Rhomanoi since we feel you probably already have enough to deal with without Rekamgil citizens roaming around trying to help! We have suggested that the donate the money they would normally spend in airfare, etc. to the relief fund we have established. We have promised that the government will match the amount raised by the citizens and will forward the fund to you once it has been collected.

 

Good luck again, and please don't hesitate to ask for any assistance we can render.

Two frigates, and one helicopter carrier have set sail to aid in the SAR missions. The Jiangwei class Frigates; Khamseen and Kumatsoy have set sail, and have had all offensive armament removed. Each ship also carries one FI-53E helicopter for searching. The Kushindana, our helicopter carrier, is only carrying SAR helicopters, all missiles have been removed. Operations will be initiated very shortly. BE-200 Search and rescue aircraft will also operate out of Kumatsoy.

We apologise for the delay in commications. With the crisis in Hidaya Miliki at an end the Baronic Council would like to offer the aid of the Royal Akiiryan Navy's Northern Fleet (which had been deployed to the south of your nation). This fleet includes a number of hospital ships as well as a detachment of 7500 marines.

 

In addition Akiiryu is willing to airlift in other supplies as required.

[Rekamgil]

Rekamgil is pleased to note that - despite the bad circumstances - we will have the opportunity to work alongside nations with whom we have had limited or strained relations. We are happy to be working alongside Tagmatium, Ide Jima, Italgria, Akiiryu, Pirilao, Miiros, the new US government, and of course Rhomanoi... We hope such cooperation bodes well for our future relations.

[Upper Strathyclyde]

For future referrence, please refer to our Government, as the People of Upper Strathyclyde, or simply the US people, since they are in all effects, the actual governments. The People's council is merely a soundboard. We hope this broadens your understanding of our evolving nation.

Official Imperial Communique

 

May we first of all extend our thanks to the nations of Pirilao and Akiiryu for their offers of aid, and hereby accept these offers of aid.

 

We wish to thank all nations who have offered their aid to our nation in this time of crisis. We truly and deeply appreciate these offers of help from the international community, and we view it as a positive sign that the nations of Europa can pull together regardless of history.

 

But to the technicalities. Nea Thessalonika International Airport is once more fully operational for aircraft wishing to bring in supplies, and we have established a co-ordination centre there, from where we aim to co-ordinate the rescue effort. Please see RNN (our news thread) for more information regarding the resuce effort. We have also opened up the Imperial Air Force Base at Nea Thessalonika to more aid flights, having finally cleared the runway there of large peices of debris.

 

However, only the ports of Nea Thessalonika and Hadrianopolis are open, as Naxoina is still blocked by sand and mud.

 

We thank you once more;

Ok, I understood the difficulties my aid follows of helicopter.

From: Rekamgil

 

We are pleased to see that things are getting better in your nation. With this in mind we regret to anounce that we must withdraw two of our four RAMC units. As mentioned, two units will remain in Rhomanoi to continue the important work there, but we must transfer two of our units to Suverina, who are in the midst of economic collapse and have requested assistance. Since the most dire needs have, we hope, been met in Rhomanoi, we feel we must offer assistance to Suverina also.

 

However, if you require anymore aid, please do not hesitate to ask. We can still offer more food, medical supplies, and monetary aid if you need it. We do not in any way wish to "abandon" our mission here (and this is why we are leaving two RAMC units with you) but we must also respond to another energency.

 

We thank you in advance for your understanding.

 

Sincerely,

Director of Relief Services.

With most rescue operations completed, we wish to formally announce the 'winding down' of the post-Hannibal rescue operation. We extend our mosty sincere thanks to all nations who sent aid, and we wish to re-assure the international community that we can now handle the rebuilding work, with the aid of the financial contributions already made.

 

Thank you once more.

From: The Free City

 

It was an honor to be able to help your people in a time of crisis. Miiros values human life and peace above all other things, so it was our pleasure to aid your nation. Since you have announced you now have full control over the situation, we will now withdraw the teams we sent to your nation. However, if you need any further aid, do not hesitate to ask.

 

May both our futures be bright.

 

- Director of Miirosi Disaster Relief Services

[Rekamgil]

Likewise an honour for Rekamgil. We must now withdraw our remaining RAMC units and all troops. We have to deal with the deepening crisis in Suverina and must devote our full attention there. We hope we have helped in Rhomanoi's recovery in some small way.
