UMCOR Hotline Note: This edition of the UMCOR Hotline is a special update about the tsunamis catastrophe. For more about UMCOR's current responses, read the hotline for December 28 December 30, 2004 After Walls of Water, Hope: Relief Shipment Planned UMCOR has received appeals from its ecumenical partners for several kinds of emergency supplies. UMCOR's rule of thumb is to ship only those relief items that are specifically requested. A large shipment is being assembled now and we know that United Methodists will want to help get our partners in the disaster-stricken areas what they need. UMCOR appreciates your generosity! You can help by donating specific goods and/or money. Health Kits. Soap is the number one defense against bacterial disease. Prepare the kit according to the specifications or, in lieu of goods, UMCOR can receive donations of $12.00 per kit. Layettes Babies and their mothers will appreciate these items. Prepare the kit according to specifications or a donate of $10 per layette.
Extractions: UMCOR has issued an urgent appeal for donations to assist tens of thousands of earthquake survivors in South and Southeast Asia. The death toll has risen above 59,000 according to press reports today, in one of the most devastating earthquakes in a century. An UMCOR bulletin insert for this appeal is available UMCOR will be working with church-related alliances such as Action by Churches Together and Churches Auxiliary for Social Action to provide food, clean water, shelter, and sanitation services in a broadband of nations from Asia to Africa. The areas affected include parts of India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Bangladesh, and islands such as Sri Lanka and the Maldives. The exact extent of the destruction is not immediately known. Waters from tsunamis -the term is Japanese for tidal wave-pushed far inland, and many of the affected regions are remote.

It outlines recovery and reconstruction problems that follow a tsunami. It identifies those areas of the world that are vulnerable to tsunamis and the steps for mitigation and preparation. Read this lesson; study Tsunami Disaster Overview; review Appendix l. Complete the self-assessment test, compare your answers to the answer KEY. A tsunami is a sea wave that may become one or more massive waves of water as it makes landfall. These sea waves are often called popularly "tidal waves," but this is a misnomer. They are not caused by tidal action of the moon and sun like the regular ocean tides. Rather, they are long water waves generated by sudden displacement of the land under water, the most common cause of significant tsunamis being the sudden displacement along a submarine fault, caused by an earthquake.

Your website should focus on providing the links to sites which will give the best help in such matters as: Describing and defining the disaster. Where does it occur? When does it occur? What damage is caused? How is it caused? What can we do to minimise its impact on humans? Can you find records of historical events regarding the incidence of this disaster?

Extractions: No human situation is beyond politics; even in the Warsaw ghetto uprising, there were two armed organizations, not one, because of political differences. Certainly, the tsunami was not, from the preconditions that made so many vulnerable to the lack of proper warning to the scope and nature of the global response. No matter the response to the earthquake, no matter the policies implemented beforehand, huge numbers would have lost their lives. Those in Indonesia and in the Andaman and Nicobar islands, hit by the tsunami just minutes after the quake, would have died no matter what. To prevent that would have required the rewriting of centuries of history.
Disasters I watch TV specials about floods, tsunamis (tidal waves) and volcanoes; On humanmade disasters. We are upset by a hurricane that kills dozens of people http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~insrisg/nature/nw98/disasters.html
Extractions: Charles Ebert on Disasters (This column was first published in the November 30, 1998 Buffalo News Once again this spring SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor Charles H. V. Ebert will offer his Geography 201 course on disasters at the University at Buffalo. Ebert is a recognized expert in this unusual field and his textbook, Disasters: Violence of Nature and Threats by Man , is now in its 3rd edition. He is also a superb lecturer and his courses are always popular. Over 200 students have already enrolled. Like so many of us, I find myself drawn to disasters. I watch TV specials about floods, tsunamis (tidal waves) and volcanoes; I pore over newspaper stories about plane crashes; I sit through those awful movies about tornadoes and earthquakes; and I track the latest hurricane on the Weather Channel. I have known Vince Ebert for thirty years and recently, after reading his book, I took advantage of our friendship to discuss this subject with him. Here are some of his thoughts: On our attraction to disasters . "There but for the grace of God go I." On the positive side, we have empathy for those who are devastated and we admire those who don't give up in the face of their terrible misfortunes. (Journalists take advantage of these situations by pushing microphones in the faces of victims. Remarkably they often respond encouragingly: we're down now but we'll come back.) On the other hand some of us exhibit a morbid or even sadistic fascination with disasters and our response is shallow and temporal. We forget yesterday's news at the very time when people most need assistance.
