Vocea says the tarpaulins will provide temporary shelter for those currently living in evacuation centers as they await the rehabilitation programs when their homes will be built again.

These supplies will be distributed to affected areas from tomorrow.

There are currently 125 active evacuation centers in the Northern division with 3,400 evacuees.
