000010326 520__ $$2eng$$aA tsunami caused by a great earthquake, M9.2, offshore Sumatra island in the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004, and devastated more than 10 countries around the ocean including Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand, and killed at least 230,000 people, including visitors from Europe, Australia and North American, also resulting in great economic losses. The whole world was heavily shocked by the precipitate tragedy, that is the worst tsunami damage in our history. Four years are going to pass since the 2004 Indian ocean tsunami happened. It is time to make a comprehensive remarks on disaster and lessons, and to exchange information on the process for the recovery and re-construction including its impact on other countries. Because series of earthquakes followed by the 2004 Sumatra have happened in the Indian ocean, earthquakes followed by tsunamis continues to cause huge damage. The effective tsunami warning system in Indian ocean as well as others are under discussion. The human loss due to each event are quite different, which depends on the tsunami information as well as public awareness at each community.
