How Do Aid Agencies Help After A Disaster Like An Earthquake Or Tsunami
It takes about 24 hours for the first assessment teams to get in and come up with a list of needs. Water, food, shelter, sanitation, medicine are the top needs, and separating drinking water from the other water. The main problem facing agencies is the number of displaced people. This is more difficult than dealing with the deaths. Many of these countries don't have a lot of infrastructure to help displaced people. Relief agencies try to help people by coordinating their own efforts, including working with the government agencies that have the rudiments in place to reestablish the livelihood of those people.
Water is going to be one of the primary needs in the immediate days. Trying to prevent disease is done by trying to keep the drinking water safe, by providing ways for it to be boiled and sanitized.
More eyewitness accounts:
- A south African survivor named in Levitt in Phuket described sitting on the beach front, and they are sitting there having breakfast. And the next moment they see a massive wave moving towards them. People started screaming and ran up into the hills. The speed of the current was not as quick as it might look in the movies. A lot of boats remained in the bay afterwards, it seemed like a single wave.
European Union pledges $4 million in relief, Australia pledges $10 million.
Many areas are cut off from communications.
