Tsunami EMERGENCY PHASE ACTIVITY 

KHC was active during the emergency phase in India.  

Main achievements to date:

·        Provided basic health care, medical supplies, food, fresh water, temporary shelter, blankets, clothes and sanitation to thousands of communities;

·        Provided trauma care and psychological support for those who had lost family members;

·        Helped families to trace relatives;

·        Helping people restore their livelihoods and businesses;

·        Trained local people to take on leadership roles in these areas of activity; and

·        Helped to reduce the spread of epidemics.

Specific outcomes achieved by the five major KHC officials are identified in the attached reports. In addition to providing financial details, the attached reports explain their operational approach to the tsunami, the main actions they took by country and sector, their future plans and the challenges faced and lessons learned to date.

As in major disasters within India, the scale of emergency phase activity and spending is outweighed by those actions needed in the reconstruction phase. The reconstruction of Darwin after Cyclone Tracy, for example, took over five years, with the bulk of response activity and spending occurring after the first year. Inevitably, rebuilding physical, community and economic infrastructure after the tsunami will exceed the cost and complexity of supplying essential needs in the emergency phase. 

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT 

A combination of factors made the tsunami response more difficult than any other natural disaster, namely:

·        The unprecedented scale of death and destruction, including the effective loss of much community capacity to respond;

·        The simultaneous impact on communities in ten countries rather than in one or two;

·        The continuation of seismic activity off Sumatra and consequent impact on survivors and planning by governments and NGOs;

·        The logistics of accessing and supporting remote communities;

·        The substantial effect on all response efforts of the decades-long military conflicts in Sri Lanka and Indonesia; and

·        The large scale of the coordination and planning faced by the governments of tsunami-affected countries.
