Bangkok, Thailand – March 28, 2025 – Frontline Global (frontlineglobal.io), a leading provider of crisis response and medical evacuation services, has mobilized a team of responders to Thailand to assist members affected by the catastrophic 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28, 2025. The quake, identified as a rare “supershear” event, caused widespread destruction across Myanmar and sent powerful tremors as far as Bangkok, Thailand, collapsing buildings and leaving thousands in need of urgent assistance.
Frontline Global’s rapid response teams are on the ground in Thailand, coordinating medical evacuations and providing life-saving support to members navigating the chaos left in the wake of the earthquake. The organization’s efforts focus on ensuring the safety and well-being of its members.
Swift Action in a Time of Crisis
Within hours of the earthquake, Frontline Global activated its global network of medical and security professionals, deploying highly trained responders to Thailand. These teams are working tirelessly to locate and evacuate members from affected areas.
“Our mission at Frontline Global is to be there when our members need us most,” said Chris Gavaghen, Co-founder and President at Frontline Global. “The Myanmar earthquake’s impact on Thailand, particularly in Bangkok, has created a complex and urgent situation. Our responders are working around the clock to ensure our members receive the care and support they need, whether that’s on-the-ground access to medical treatment or safe evacuation to advanced medical facilities.”
Navigating a Complex Disaster
The March 28 earthquake, centered near Mandalay, Myanmar, was one of the strongest in the region in a century, with a rupture spanning over 550 kilometers along the Sagaing Fault. Its “supershear” nature—where the rupture moved faster than seismic waves—amplified the destruction, causing severe shaking in Bangkok, over 1,000 kilometers away.
Frontline Global’s teams are collaborating with local authorities, international rescue organizations, and medical facilities to navigate the challenges posed by damaged infrastructure, ongoing aftershocks, and the threat of unseasonal rains, which could exacerbate conditions for survivors. The organization’s expertise in operating in high-risk environments has been vital in overcoming logistical hurdles, such as disrupted roads and communication networks, to deliver timely assistance.
Comprehensive Support for Members
Frontline Global’s services in Thailand include:
- Medical Evacuations: Arranging safe transport for injured members to hospitals in Thailand or, when necessary, to international medical centers equipped to handle complex cases.
- Crisis Coordination: Offering 24/7 support through Frontline Global’s operations center, which tracks member locations, assesses risks, and facilitates evacuations.
- Family Liaison Services: Keeping families informed and connected with their loved ones during the crisis.
“Our responders are not just medical professionals; they are crisis experts trained to operate in the most challenging environments,” said Paul Hatcher, CEO of Frontline Global. “We are committed to ensuring that every member affected by this disaster receives the highest level of care and support, no matter the circumstances.”
