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
