Northwest Medical Teams, based in Bellevue, is recruiting volunteers for an early week departure.

Northwest Medical Teams staff were in Indonesia Sunday to provide money to help with emergency medical care for the more than 200-thousand people left homeless by Saturday's deadly earthquake.

Nurse Ann Johnson told KIRO 7 she will leave Tuesday, joining doctors from four states. She has hands-on experience saving lives in Indonesia. Johnson and other volunteers with Northwest Medical Teams spent a month there after a deadly earthquake one year ago.

Federal Way-based World Vision has begun distributing tarps, blankets, temporary beds and other emergency supplies to villagers in Bantul, the district hardest hit by Saturday's 6.3-magnitude earthquake.

The Christian relief and development organization said that it has dispatched other relief aid, including hygiene kits and cooking supplies to reach another 1,500 families in Bantul during the next few days.

In addition to provide relief supplies and medical care, World Vision said its relief team is working to complete an initial assessment of the population's needs in Bantul and Klaten districts.
