SEARO-WADEM Tsumani Book
WADEM is working in collaboration with the World Health Organization South-East Asia Office on a book examining the health aspects of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, a disaster that took the lives of more than 200,000 people. The Indian Ocean tsunami resulted in mass casualties in six South-East Asia regional countries. The book, due to be released in 2010, will examine five of the hardest hit Southeast Asian regional countries (India, Indonesia, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Thailand) and determine how the impacts of the tsunami differed in each of these countries and why.

The SEARO-WADEM Tsumani Book is in the intital review stages at the WHO-SEARO office.
