	Humanitarian response to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The humanitarian response to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was prompted by one of the worst natural disasters of modern times.
		On 26 December the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, struck off the northwest coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra, spawned a tsunami that wreaked havoc along much of the rim of the Indian Ocean.
		The Israeli humanitarian organisation Latet sent a jumbo jet carrying 18 tonnes of supplies to Colombo, however, and a rescue-and-recovery team from the Jewish ultra-Orthodox organisation Zaka arrived in Colombo with equipment used for identifying bodies, as well as body bags BBC News December 28, 2004.

	2004 Indian Ocean earthquake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, known by the scientific community as the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake, was an undersea earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC (07:58:53 local time) on December 26, 2004.
		Despite a lag of up to several hours between the earthquake and the impact of the tsunami, nearly all of the victims were taken completely by surprise; there were no tsunami warning systems in the Indian Ocean to detect tsunamis, or equally importantly, to warn the general populace living around the ocean.
		The 2004 earthquake and tsunami seem to be the deadliest natural disaster since either the 1976 Tangshan earthquake or the 1970 Bhola cyclone, or could conceivably exceed both of these.

		The 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake was an undersea megathrust earthquake of moment magnitude 9.0 that struck the Indian Ocean off the western coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia on December 26, 2004 at 00:58:53 UTC (07:58:53 local time in Jakarta and Bangkok).
		It was the largest earthquake on Earth since the 9.2-magnitude Good Friday Earthquake which struck Alaska on March 27, 1964, and the fourth largest since 1900 (tied with a 1952 earthquake of 9.0 magnitude in Kamchatka).

		Each of these megathrust earthquakes also spawned tsunamis (in the Pacific Ocean), but the death toll from these was significantly lower—a few thousand for the worst one — probably because of the lower population density along the coasts near affected areas and the much greater distances to more populated coasts.
		The shaking of the seabed by the earthquake displaced massive volumes of water, resulting in tsunamis that struck the coasts of the Indian Ocean; the deadliest tsunamis by far in all of recorded history.
		The 2004 earthquake and tsunamis seems to be the worst natural disaster since the 1970 Bhola cyclone (Bangladesh), estimated to have killed 500,000.

	Strongest earthquake in 40 years hits Southeast Asia - Wikinews
		Indian Ocean - The death toll continues to grow and millions face a homeless life in the new year as coastal communities in south Asia struggle against continued aftershocks and flooding caused by the largest earthquake to strike the planet in more than a generation.
		The earthquake was the strongest in the world since the 9.2-magnitude Good Friday Earthquake which struck Alaska, USA in 1964, and the fourth largest since 1900.
		The overwhelming concern of humanitarian and government agencies is to quickly identify and bury the dead before they become a health issue and contribute to the spread of diseases such as cholera, diphtheria, dysentery and typhoid (according to widespread but misguided belief The Times).

		In the early stages of the tsunami disaster, regional coordination of logistics, procurement, humanitarian coordination, information systems, resources allocation, and management were essential to respond to the vast needs throughout the tsunami affected areas.
		the task of responding to the humanitarian needs of the population has been hampered by logistical problems, which - given the dispersion of the country’s population over 200 islands - were already immense and has been made more complicated by the destruction of jetties and the loss of fishing vessels also used for intra-atoll transport.
		The emergency response to the Tsunami disaster in Myanmar highlighted a lack of disaster preparedness and further revealed the inherent complications linked to coordination between international partners and national authorities.

		But to say that the "American response" was slow or that we didn't shower these communities with support is a blatant lie and a disservice to the American military and relief workers.
		If I remember correctly, the sluggishness of the US response to the tsunami was matched by the mainstream media, which didn't really grasp the enormity of death and destruction until at least 2 to 3 days after the tsunami hit.
		I believe the slow initial response was due to the White House wanting their first statement to be acceptable theologically to the fundamantalist base.
