We went from the UK, as part of an Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation (EEFIT) mission, to study recovery after the 2011 Tohoku tsunami. This was a major disaster for Japan. For the country most prepared for earthquakes this was a shocking event that will take years and trillions of dollars to repair. Fifteen months after the disaster, when we made our field trip, recovery was already underway. New embankments were being constructed along the coast of the Sendai plain in Miyage Province and debris had been collected into huge sorted piles. But further north, in Iwate Province a debate was raging between the safety conscious who wanted to construct high embankments and those who wanted to maintain their intimate contact with the shore and sea. I went to Kobe and Kyoto to visit engineers in earthquake institutes. I went site seeing and was beguiled by Japanese architecture and landscape.

The 2004 Asian tsunami was the greatest natural disaster in recent times. Almost 230,000 people died. In response, governments in Asia and the broader international community announced large aid programs. The resulting assistance effort was one of the largest humanitarian programs ever organised in the developing world. This book discusses the lessons of the aid effort for disaster protection policy in developing countries.

In response to the tsunami which hit eight Asian countries in December 2004, a project was initiated to increase understanding of how this natural disaster had affected people who were particularly vulnerable due to social marginalisation, disability status, age and gender. This publication draws on a number of the studies which were commissioned in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand and the national workshops organised in those countries. It seeks to give an overview of the efforts that have been made to mitigate the suffering of those affected, as well as to assess progress towards assisting communities to restore livelihoods and move towards a sustainable long-term recovery.

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami caused immense destruction and over 170,000 deaths in the Indonesian province of Aceh. The disaster spurred large-scale social and political changes in Aceh, including the intensified implementation of shari‘a law and an end to the long separatist conflict. After the Tsunami explores Acehnese survivors’ experiences of the deadly waves and the subsequent reconstruction process through the stories they tell about the disaster. Narratives, author Annemarie Samuels argues, are both a window onto the process of remaking everyday life and an essential component of it. Building on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, Samuels shows how the everyday work of recovery is indispensable for any large-scale reconstruction effort to succeed. Recovery is an ambiguous process in which grief remains as life goes on, where optimism and disappointment, remembering and forgetting, structural poverty and the rhetoric of success are often intertwined in individual and social worlds. Such paradoxes are key and form a thread through the five chapters of the book. Addressing post-disaster reconstruction from the survivors’ perspectives opens up space for criticism of post-disaster governance without reducing the discussion of recovery to top-down interventions. Individual histories, emotions, creativity, and ways of being in the world, the author argues, inform the remaking of worlds as much as social, political, and cultural transformations do. After the Tsunami is a provocative and highly significant contribution to studies of humanitarian aid and disaster, psychological anthropology, narrative studies, and scholarly studies of Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Its elegant style, pointed theorizing, and moving ethnographic descriptions will draw readers into Acehnese lifeworlds and politics. Its narratives attest to Acehnese ways of living with loss, within and across a history of colonial and postcolonial violence and suffering and a present of political uncertainty and hope.

On 20 December 2004, an earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale occurred off the west coast of Northern Sumatra in Indonesia resulting in tsunami. Banda Aceh was the worse to be affected, more than 130,000 people perished and more than 500,000 made homeless. The Waves of Change ...Tsunami, Years After is the observed recovery of Banda Aceh in politics, economy and culture. These changes are reflected in the authors journey to Banda Aceh three years after the tsunami. This books six chapters and over 100 captioned picture plates illustrate the care of Malaysians and other organisations from all over the world in alleviating the sufferings of other human beings. It is a tribute to the selfless men and women who contributed in saving life, in reducing the suffering of others, in rehabilitation and in rebuilding of Banda Aceh during and after the tragedy.

The 2004 tsunami is an example of an event that helped to turn adversity into advantage; from a terrible disaster to a journey towards better development, especially in disaster management. Apart from recounting the event and the response of thousands of humanitarian and public health professionals, the book summarizes and analyzes the impact of the tsunami and the change it generated at the international, regional, national and even community levels. It led to reform in many global emergency mechanisms: the cluster approach; emergency funding through the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) and the South-East Asia Regional Health Emergency Fund (SEARHEF) of the WHO Regional Office; standards for preparedness (South-East Asia Region Benchmarks for emergency preparedness and response) were all sparked by the tsunami of 2004. Two events proved that these changes and investments were working - the potential tsunami from an 8.9 magnitude earthquake in the Banda Sea on 11 April 2012--where we saw that all systems had been put in place from early warning evacuation to safer ground and return. The second event was the Nepal earthquake, where investments in safer health facilities through assessments, structural and non-structural retrofitting and functional preparedness paid off on 25 April 2015.
