 Ten days after the devastating tsunami that ensued due to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, Templeton helped insert 27 medical personnel in Aceh Jaya (Indonesia) to conduct emergency assessment in the most inaccessible regions and coordinate delivery of supplies in collaboration with ELISA (Equipe Légere d'Intervention de Secours Aéroportée) and PFC (Paramedics for Children), with the support of Newmont Mining Corporation CEO Richard Ness.Templeton flew 24 surveillance and GPS mapping missions in order to provide geo-referenced intelligence to the UNJLC, thereby convincing them to use the Calang Camp as the relief distribution hub where the team then coordinated landing zones for USMC LCAT vessels delivering 30,000+ tons of supplies.Between January 5 and February 14, 2005, the team completed a pediatric vaccination campaign of 3,150 children.
