Abstract
The countries affected by the tsunami responded to the natural disaster promptly but with different results and outcomes. The reasons for this varied response were many. The outcome depended upon a number of factors, including the extent of the damage to property and lives, accessibility of the areas and existing disaster plans. In this paper we present the overall observations and suggest the way forward. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
