Earthquake in Myanmar: A Call for Solidarity from the ESOMAR Community

On March 28, a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar, leaving behind a trail of devastation. Thousands of lives have been lost, homes and infrastructure have crumbled, and countless families are now displaced. Many communities remain cut off, with limited access to food, shelter, or communication.

In the face of this humanitarian crisis, the ESOMAR community has an opportunity—and a responsibility—to step in. While media attention may be fading, the needs on the ground are more pressing than ever. Your support can bring hope and relief to those still struggling to survive.

Our research community was also hard it by the earthquale: Mandalay, the 2. largest city in Myanmar was very hard hit and is usually included in most projects. Interviewers and field managers from there are affected.  Some projects got canceled and currently we can’t foresee the impact on demand going forward for this year.

To help direct response efforts, MSR, an independent research organization, has carried out a rapid assessment across 21 of the hardest-hit townships. Their findings provide critical insights to guide humanitarian aid, funding decisions, and coordinated recovery efforts. Read more
