Hello,
about one week ago we had a disruptive earthquake which caused death and lots of damage.
Besides the human casualties, we had a damage of about 5B euros (more than 6 billion dollars) and it hit our industries in one of the top regions that produce the wealth and occupation in our country.
Despite the earthquake was not incredibly strong, it kept having subsequent shakes for almost the same magnitude of the big hit and we are still experiencing adjustment quakes that are causing more damage.
The phenomenon caused soil to rise by 12 centimeters (4.7in) in the whole area (satelite measurement).
Now, I am the Holder of the largest EvE charity, I have tens of billions sitting there that could be converted in PLEX to send to those living in those areas.
Therefore I humbly request you start an emegency campaign to aid the victims and the many, many (tens of thousands) workers now without a factory to return (and many without an home at all any longer).
Here is the regional institution to contact to send the money: Protezione Civile Emilia Romagna.
If needed I can contact them and translate Italian <=> English as it's needed.

I am as well hodling several billions worth of donations (from players whom quit). Ready awaiting the next PLEX drive.
I feel bad for not reading the newspapers though as I've not heard of this Italy quake (bad joke incoming: sell more pizzas).
@CCP I am ready to donate when your next drive is here.
@Community, should you feel you want to donate and know that it will go to CCP (in case you leave else you're more than welcome to donate directly to CCP) I accept anything you wish to give to the cause and will convert it into PLEX when CCP holds their next drive.

Can we also do a PLEX for a new Australian government? We've suffered for too long. When is America going to invade? |

Sure, why not. Good enough excuse for plex market manipulation as any other.

We still need a plex for American national debt fund though the invasion would do well to create jobs for both sides.

Can't you see that I am. I am here asking for the plex donation fund because I believe. I believe that all of you can make a difference!

For reference, the charity operation has been showcased by CCP CEO Hilmar at Fanfest 2011.
This video is proof of having sent PLEXes for a total value of US $4286.
It is still a drop in the ocean but it's still better than a fat nothing. Along with the other donors, the amount could be easily 50 times more than that.

I like what the OP is trying to do.
But for the people saying they would support it by buying plex, could I make a suggestion?
If you're willing to spend money on plex for a donation, how about you donate the money NOW instead of waiting for the chance that CCP does do this. I imagine that there are already organizations set up to take donations of all sorts. |

And how the hell do you know it's not already done for some?
I'm pretty aware of those humanitarian organisations, I'm at 15mn center Geneva and actually work with them sometimes, most of the money you send there stays for internal needs (those pay bills/salary too) and most of the OGM's have personnel that doesn't live with good intentions and awesome words, in fact most of them do it because it's financially worthy.
Humanitarian stuff? -90% jokes 10% real ones

I imagine that there are already organizations set up to take donations of all sorts. Because they're buying the PLEX with ISK. Some of us have more discretionary space pixels than real money to play with. |

Harsh truth is: earthquakes are not rare thing. Every year somewhere something happens. So your post really is not so interesting to people.
back to topic: let me know when to donate PLEX. |

See, earthquakes are common indeed .
But so far they are getting about 1 quake of 4.5+ Richter every other day, had multiple "main" 5.8+ earthquakes and now the nasty stuff decided to hit another region as well (very very minor damage there, furtunately). It's still ongoing as I write.
What is imho worth mentioning is not the quake per se, but the consequences. 35,000 factories have been stopped and many got destroyed. This created a massive humanitarian issue, because there's lots of people now in tents, in cars (since 2 weeks) many are going to be unemployed in a country where losing job = lose income for years (very high unoccupation rate).
Since a picture is better than 1000 words, let me show a tiny sample:
Look at this rift. It tells exactly what happened, no words needed.
Castles, churches, monuments, many have been destroyed or are so compromised they will have to be demolished. Vast scale destruction (in some areas it's 100 percent)
One of the thousands factories that got destroyed.
It was not some decrepit old hovel but built with anti-seismic criteria (yeah it helped a lot).
Another factory.
The region is very industry heavy.
Many houses and MANY historical buildings and monuments got destroyed.
Another house, feel free to Google for "terremoto emilia romagna" to find hundreds.
More destruction
And I am here, with tens of billions gathered exactly for these disasters and I can't do anything to help.
CCP please investigate on this event and let us donate!

Another 4.3 Richter earthquake this night. Factories evacuated again and people all back into tents, under hot summer temperature. Every time (basically every other day) this happens, they have to re-check what factories of the 35,000 affected are still safe for the workers to enter (we already had some crash and kill the returned workers  ).
Since the safety check teams are too few, it means weeks with no work and further loss of customers, who demand strict timing or just go do business with other countries.
