Abstract

Coastal areas throughout the world are at high risk from natural hazards. The risks are magnified in poor and developing countries where large numbers of coastal communities are traditionally impoverished and have poor access to any kind of disaster prevention or management programmes. The 26 December 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean brought out this fact very clearly, considering that the loss in housing amounted to over US$2,000 mn in India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka alone.
