Synopsis

The 2004 Asian Mega Tsunami had a devastating impact on South Asia, affecting the East Coast of India and several other territorial nations in the region. In response to this disaster, the NRDMS Division of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, New Delhi, launched the All India Co-ordinated Programme on Tsunami Disaster Assessment and Mitigation. This program utilized Geomatics technology, including Arial Photography, Photogrammetry, Satellite Remote Sensing, Digital Image Processing, GPS Surveys, and GIS modeling, to create geo-spatial databases on Tsunami disasters related to Natural, Physical, and Human Resources. The program also developed futuristic mitigation strategies to address these disasters.

The book provides an overview of the studies conducted along the Indian Coast and offers a birds eye view of the tsunami studies in Norway. In addition, the book includes special papers on the role of mangroves in Tsunami mitigation, the impact of Tsunami on marine water quality and coral ecosystems, as well as the administrators experience in crisis management, NGO perspectives, societal issues triggered by the disaster, and citizen perspectives.
