With casualties as far away as Africa, the aftermath was overwhelming: ships could be spotted miles inland; cars floated in the ocean; legions of the unidentified deadùan estimated 225,000ùwere buried in mass graves; relief organizations struggled to reach rural areas and provide adequate aid to survivors. The Indian Ocean Tsunami: The Global Response to a Natural Disaster is the first comprehensive assessment of the environmental, social, and economic costs of this tragedy. Soon after the tsunami, an international team of geographers, geologists, anthropologists, and political scientists traveled to the most damaged areas to observe and document the tsunami's impact. The Indian Ocean Tsunami draws on data collected by this team. Editors Pradyumna P. Karan and Shanmugam P. Subbiah, along with contributors from multiple disciplines, examine numerous issues that arose in the aftermath of the tsunami, such as inequities in response efforts, unequal distribution of disaster relief aid, and relocation and housing problems. The Indian Ocean Tsunami is organized into several sections, the first of which deals with the ecological destruction of the tsunami. It includes case studies and photographs of the damage in Japan, Indonesia, South India, and other areas. The second section analyzes the economic and social aspects of the aid responses, specifically discussing the role of NGOs in tsunami relief, the strengths and weaknesses of the reconstruction process, and the lessons the tsunami offers to those who are responsible for dealing with future disasters. In the tsunami's aftermath, the inadequacies of governmental and privately funded aid and the challenge of rehabilitating devastated ecosystems quickly became apparent. With this volume, Karan and Suhbiah illuminate the need for the development of efficient, socially and environmentally sustainable practices to cope with environmental disasters. They suggest that education about the ongoing process of recovery will mitigate the effects of future natural disasters. Including maps, photographs, and statistical analyses, The Indian Ocean Tsunami is a clear and definitive evaluation of the tsunami's impact and the world's response to it. --Book Jacket. 001397655 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001397655 650_0 $$aIndian Ocean Tsunami, 2004. 001397655 650_0 $$aTsunami relief$$zAsia. 001397655 650_0 $$aHumanitarian assistance$$zAsia. 001397655 650_0 $$aEmergency management$$zAsia. 001397655 650_0 $$aTsunami damage$$zAsia. 001397655 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001397655 7001_ $$aKaran, Pradyumna P.$$q(Pradyumna Prasad) 001397655 7001_ $$aSubbiah, Shanmugam P. 001397655 7001_ $$aGilbreath, Dick. 001397655 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tIndian Ocean tsunami.$$dLexington, Ky. : University of Kentucky Press, 2011$$z9780813126524$$w(DLC) 2010044406$$w(OCoLC)639159500 001397655 8520_ $$bacq 001397655 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 001397655 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=356077$$zOnline Access 001397655 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:351838$$pGLOBAL_SET 001397655 980__ $$aEBOOK 001397655 980__ $$aBIB 001397655 982__ $$aEbook 001397655 983__ $$aOnline
