Access to the system is now closed to members of the public. We thank everyone who stepped up to help during the emergency period. Your efforts helped save thousands of lives. We are proud of our volunteers!

පද්ධතියට ප්‍රවේශය දැන් මහජනතාවට වසා ඇත. හදිසි කාල සීමාව තුළ උදව් කිරීමට පැමිණි සියලු දෙනාට අපි ස්තුති කරමු. ඔබගේ උත්සාහයන් දහස් ගණනක් ජීවිත බේරා ගැනීමට උපකාර විය. අපි අපගේ ස්වේච්ඡා සේවකයන් ගැන ආඩම්බර වෙමු!

இந்த அமைப்புக்கான அணுகல் இப்போது பொதுமக்களுக்கு மூடப்பட்டுள்ளது. அவசரகால காலத்தில் உதவ முன்வந்த அனைவருக்கும் நன்றி தெரிவிக்கிறோம். உங்கள் முயற்சிகள் ஆயிரக்கணக்கான உயிர்களைக் காப்பாற்ற உதவியது. எங்கள் தன்னார்வலர்களைப் பற்றி நாங்கள் பெருமைப்படுகிறோம்
