Abstract

Are deaths and devastation unavoidable consequences of tsunamis and typhoons? The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami left more than 250,000 dead and millions more homeless in a dozen countries mainly in Southeast and South Asia. But the Indonesian island of Simeuleu located some 50 kilometres from the earthquake epicentre lost only a few villagers because their vast mangrove area dissipated the power of the waves and their past experience foretold of the impending disaster. In 1999, an area of mangroves also spared Nasi Island in Kendrapara district in Orissa, India, while elsewhere in the eastern coastal state a supercyclone killed more than 10,000 people and damaged 3 million houses. Coral reefs encircling the Maldives played a similar protective role; less than a hundred deaths were reported from the December 2004 disaster.
