ABOUT THE BOOK

The aim of this project is to spread awareness about the tools, models and methods involved in studying disasters by examining the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. Our aim was not only to gain a deeper understanding of the physical and geological factors that contributed to the tsunami, but also to explore the human dimensions of the disaster. This book will be of help to students, educators and policy-makers in understanding issues related to vulnerability and resilience in disaster management.
