The centre for relief supplies was launched on Friday by Minister for Inter-Government Relations and Member for Wewak, Kevin Isifu, along with the director for the National Disaster Center, Martin Mose.
Isifu thanked stakeholders for making sure that the people of Kadovar are safe and that the disaster has been managed properly.
“We have now brought the necessary relief supplies to the island and have taken care of the needs of the displaced people of Kadovar Island.”
Supply Company Yard in Murray Barracks will be the coordination centre for all relief supplies coming in, and transportation to Wewak.
The general public, firms, corporate organisations and civil society bodies who want, or are willing, to provide relief assistance can visit the Murray Barracks supply centre.
Two containers are already on location for any relief supplies that will be packed into and sent to Wewak to assist the disaster stricken people of Kadovar.
