Foreword

The planet we live on can be unpredictable; earthquakes, volcanic eruptions andtsunamis can strike without warning, as we were starkly reminded earlier this year in

Japan. Despite the best eorts o the international community, millions o people areaected by natural disasters every year and by the chaos and devastation that theyleave in their wake. Since its establishment in 1863, the Red Cross and Red CrescentMovement has attempted to alleviate the suering caused through confict andnatural disasters.

National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, such as the Indonesian Red Crossand the Sri Lankan Red Cross Society, are at the oreront o disaster response activities;volunteers and sta responded immediately and provided lie saving assistance in thehours, days and weeks ater the Indian Ocean Tsunami struck. As the Irish representativeo the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, which comprises theInternational Federation o Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the InternationalCommittee o the Red Cross (ICRC) and each countrys National Society, the Irish Red

Cross has a responsibility to assist our partners when disaster strikes.Disasters can destroy inrastructure and the social abric o a community in minutes, butthe rebuilding o that community may take many years. The extent o the Indian OceanTsunami meant that ollowing the immediate emergency response phase; there was aneed or continued support and assistance. Working with our partner National Societiesin the countries aected, the Irish Red Cross Tsunami Relie and Recovery Programmewas developed as a multi-year response to the immediate and long-term needs o thecommunities worst aected in Indonesia, the Maldives and Sri Lanka.

As a direct result o the generosity o the Irish public, over a million peoplehave beneted rom the Irish Red Cross programmes. Schools and hospitals

were reconstructed, clean water supplies re-established, homes rebuilt, livelihoodsrestored or revived and children supported on their return to education, whileinnovative communication initiatives promoted dialogue with the disaster aectedcommunities enabling them to inorm and engage in recovery eorts.

Tens o thousands o amilies continue to directly benet rom the support providedby you as generous, donors to the Irish Red Cross, and we hope that this bookprovides an insight into the work we have undertaken on your behal.

Introduction

On 26th December 2004, a massive earthquake measuring 9.15 on the Richter scalestruck o the coast o Sumatra, Indonesia. It was the most powerul earthquake the worldhad seen in a generation, releasing the equivalent energy o 23,000 Hiroshima bombs.The epicentre was some 150km south o the town o Meulaboh and 250km rom BandaAceh, the capital o Aceh Province, in northern Indonesia. The earthquake was particularlydestructive as it originated close to the earths surace, some 30km below the foor o theIndian Ocean.

The earthquake generated a massive tsunami wave that travelled rapidly through theIndian Ocean, striking beachront areas in ourteen countries with catastrophic resultsin Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, India and Bangladesh, as well as otherAsian and East Arican countries, killing more than 226,000 people across the region.

The tsunami travelled at terriying high speeds and 45 minutes ater the earthquake it hitthe Aceh coastline and within minutes had swept clean an 800km coastal strip o Aceh equivalent to the distance between Dublin and Paris. Nearly 166,000 people were killedin Indonesia alone, with nearly 600,000 o those surviving nding themselves homelessas their houses were swept away or let in ruins. The Tsunami caused unimaginabledevastation and the scale o the damage to the local economies, inrastructure, andadministration was unprecedented. In an instant, the livelihoods and security ohundreds o thousands o people all across the Indian Ocean, rom Somalia to

Malaysia, were ruined.

Then, only three months later, another major earthquake struck the island o Niasalso o the Indonesian coast, causing yet more death, injuries and destruction.The magnitude o these events triggered an amazing outpouring o compassion andgenerosity rom around the world. Private citizens provided huge amounts o support,and donors pledged generously to help the survivors.

Tsunami

Noun (pl. same or mis)A long high sea wave caused

by an earthquake, underwater landslide or other disturbance.

Origin: late 19th century Japanese - from tsu harbour + nami wave

As a part o the largest humanitarian network in the world, the Red Cross Red CrescentMovement, the Irish Red Cross Society responded immediately to the disaster and

launched an emergency appeal or the victims o the Tsunami on 27th December2004. This appeal raised over e32 million thanks to the enormous generosity o manyindividuals, groups, schools, companies and their employees, and remains the largestamount ever raised by the Irish Red Cross or a single disaster.

The dedication and strength o the Irish Red Cross membership network, and the Irishpublic, was clearly in evidence as the massive public appeal was rolled out in the rstew weeks and months o 2005. The commitment shown through the range o events,donations and oers o support provided in solidarity with communities on the otherside o the world so tragically hit by an unpredictable natural disaster, was humbling orall involved in the response.

In the seven years that ollowed, the Irish Red Cross has had the privilege o workingclosely with our own membership across Ireland, and also with our colleagues in theInternational Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Key relationships and partnershipshave been built with the communities aected as well as with Indonesian Red Cross(PMI), the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society, the International Federation o Red Cross andRed Crescent Societies (IFRC), the International Committee o the Red Cross (ICRC),and numerous other National Societies including the German Red Cross, CanadianRed Cross, American Red Cross, Finnish Red Cross and the newly establishedMaldivian Red Crescent. During the period 2005 to 2011 the International Departmento the Irish Red Cross grew substantially and at one point had over one hundred localnational sta and twelve expatriate delegates working on Irish Red Cross projects in SriLanka, Indonesia and the Maldives.

Through the development o our comprehensive 7-year Tsunami Relief and Recovery

Programme for Indonesia, the Maldives and Sri Lanka, the Irish Red Cross was committedto ensuring that the trust placed in us by the Irish public through their donations to ourTsunami appeal was well placed. We hope to show through this Pictorial History oour Tsunami operations the range and breadth o work that has been undertaken andcontinues to take place with these donations, and how the generosity o the Irishpublic has had a direct benet or communities which were so devastated onDecember 26th, 2004.

The Response in Ireland

Public response: The global response to the horric scenes which were broadcastaround the world ollowing the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami was unprecedented. Noless so in Ireland, where there was a massive outpouring o support and sympathy orthe countries aected, and people across the country reacted by oering their services tosupport the Irish Red Cross undraising eorts. Sta and volunteers o the Irish Red Crossreturned immediately to work rom their Christmas holidays and were back at their desksby late aternoon on December 26th, only hours ater the Tsunami had struck.

Refecting the unprecedented level o the public response, the Irish Red Cross receivedgenerous oers o support rom people to help answer phones, distribute collection

buckets and raise unds both in Head Oce in Dublin and through our network obranches around the country. As teams o volunteers worked continuously in the daysand weeks ollowing the Tsunami, local businesses showed their support by providing reesandwiches and rereshments or the volunteers and sta, and local nancial institutionsprovided experienced sta to assist in the secure handling o the massive amounts o cashbeing donated.

In recognition o this true expression o the Red Cross Red Crescent principles o humanityand voluntary service, President Mary McAleese, and her amily visited the Irish Red CrossHead Oce on New Years Day 2005 to provide her own encouragement or the tirelesswork being undertaken by sta and volunteers.

Civic leaders also provided support, including the then Lord Mayor o Dublin, Michael

Conaghan, who kindly threw open the doors o the Mansion House to accept donationsduring the holiday period. Dublin City Council sta also accepted donations or theTsunami appeal at their oces.

Fundraising activities: Representatives o An Garda Sochna and Civil Deence wereextremely active in the undraising eorts, with the Garda save guarding Tsunami undsraised in pubs and restaurants around the country during the New Years estivities andrepresentatives o the Civil Deence orces organising and holding numerous streetcollections.

Irish Red Cross branch members organised numerous events to raise unds or the Irish RedCross appeal, as well as supporting other local events being run to help Tsunami victims.All undraising eorts were co-ordinated by the dedicated sta at Head Oce in Merrion

Square, Dublin.The nationwide undraising campaign was generously supported by the business communitywhich came out in orce or the victims o the Tsunami, with many businesses simplydonating unds rom within their own resources, while others matched Euro-or-Euro theunds raised by their sta. On 7th January 2005, companies across Ireland supportedemployees who participated in the Irish Red Cross Work a Day or Free, with employersacilitating the donation to the Irish Red Cross o sta salaries or the day.

Other innovative und raising events undertaken by the business community includedthe Coolmore Stud organising an international auction or access to their 50 stallions

in the United States, Ireland and Australia which raised more than 3.5 million or theInternational Red Cross Red Crescent response.

Immediate support provided: To ease some o the immediate suering caused by thedevastation, on 28th December 2004 the Irish Red Cross donated e3 million to theEmergency Appeal o the International Federation o Red Cross and Red CrescentSocieties (IFRC). This unding was used to support the urgent recovery operations, throughthe provision o clean and sae water, emergency shelter and search and rescue activities.

The bulk o the remaining e29 million raised was spent on both emergency and recovery

projects over the next seven years. While the Irish Red Cross Tsunami response had scaleddown signicantly by early 2010, the organisation continues to be involved in longer termdevelopment projects in Sri Lanka, Indonesia and the Maldives.

Country information: Indonesia is the ourth most populous country in the

world, with over 240 million people inhabiting 6,000 o the countrys 17,500

islands, which span over 6,500km. The majority o the population live on the

islands o Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Papua. Indonesias location

on the edges o the Pacic, Eurasian and Australian tectonic plates results in

requent and powerul earthquakes across the archipelago. Prior to 2004, the

worst tsunami to hit Indonesia was in 1883 when Mount Krakatoa erupted,

killing over 36,000 people.

Impact of the Tsunami: The Province o Aceh in northern Sumatra was the

worst-aected by the Tsunami, with the epicentre o the 9.15 earthquake

striking underwater between Aceh and the island o Simeulue with the orce

o 23,000 Hiroshima bombs. The entire coast o Aceh bore the brunt o thewaves, with the towns o Banda Aceh, Meulaboh and Calang being destroyed

in minutes. This close to the earthquakes epicentre, the waves were over

20m high and swept through everything in their path.

Nearly 166,000 people were killed or disappeared in Aceh Province alone,

and nearly 180,000 homes were destroyed. Then on 28th March 2005, barely

three months later, the nearby island o Nias was hit by another massive

earthquake which claimed hundreds more lives and wreaked havoc on the

already strained local inrastructure.

Irish Red Cross response: The Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) responded

immediately, and PMI sta and volunteers showed unbelievable courage and

humanity in assisting people in their time o greatest need, and in organising

the grim task o collecting the bodies o those killed.

The massive relie operation undertaken by the international community took

place under extremely dicult conditions. Not only had the entire Province

been devastated by the Tsunami, but access was incredibly challenging

due to its remote location and the long running armed confict between the

Government and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM). The Tsunami operation

in Aceh and Nias was one o the largest and most complex operations in the

history o the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement.

The Irish Red Cross provided immediate nancial and personnel assistance to

our international Red Cross Movement partners. However, it quickly became

apparent that the needs were so great that we had a responsibility to

establish a presence on the ground to organise assistance directly. So, the

Irish Red Cross undertook a series o critically important and innovativeprogrammes covering education, benefciary communications, water and

sanitation, as well as emergency response to subsequent disasters such

as earthquakes in Yogyakarta and Padang.

During the ve years that the Irish Red Cross had an oce in Banda Aceh,

over 100 people worked or us and, through our close connections with the

local communities, Irish Red Cross sta and volunteers became a amiliar and

popular sight in Aceh. In December 2009 we ormally closed our oce in

Banda Aceh. However, we handed over aspects o our work, and some sta

to PMI through agreements to und ongoing activities during 2010 and 2011

to ensure that the hard work and dedication o all the Irish Red Cross sta in

Aceh continues to make an impact into the uture.

Benefciary Communications

Community Advocacy: Following a major natural disaster suchas the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, the need by disaster aectedcommunities or accurate and reliable inormation is as undamentalas ood, shelter and medical assistance. As over 300 internationalorganisations arrived in Banda Aceh in early 2005, the Irish RedCross realised that there was a need or detailed inormation onthe recovery operation to be provided to the local communities.Various media such as newspapers, newsletters, bulletin boards

and radio were used to ensure inormation about Red Crossprogrammes reached all levels o the aected communities.

Back-to-School Assistance:With so many people killed across Aceh, there was a real risk o a lost generation o children who had been traumatised by theTsunami and had lost some or all o their amily. Working closely with PMI, the Irish Red Cross developed a Secondary Education Cash Assistance Programme(SECAP) to provide cash assistance to vulnerable children so that they could return to school.

In total, over 7,800 students benetted rom the SECAP programme between 2005 and 2011 and the Irish Red Cross SECAP sta developed close links withstudents and schools across Aceh.

As well as cash grants, the SECAP programme developed lie skills training, buddy support andmentoring or the children, and assistance or the non-ormal education system.

Top Right:The cash grants provided by the SECAP programme meant that students were able to buyshoes, uniorms and other school supplies, as well as cover the cost o transport to and rom school.Without SECAP support, all these costs may have made it prohibitive or a student like Mahdia romLamno, Aceh Jaya, to attend school.

Water and Sanitation

Temporary Living Shelters: The water and sanitation needs in Aceh Provinceollowing the Tsunami were massive. As temporary living shelters were established orthe hundreds o thousands o people who had lost their homes, the Irish Red Crossdeveloped an innovative approach to provide improved access to water and sanitation,through numerous small-scale activities to ll the gaps let by larger projects, includingproviding cleaning tools and improving drainage channels.

Humanitarian Responses

Yogyakarta Earthquake: Indonesia is located in one o the most active geologicalareas o the world, and earthquakes are unortunately a common occurrence acrossthe country. From our base in Banda Aceh, the Irish Red Cross was able to send staand assistance ollowing two such events. In May 2006, an earthquake measuring6.3 on the Richter scale hit Yogyakarta on the island o Java and claimed more than5,700 lives. Then in September and October 2009 two large earthquakes struck nearto Padang on the island o Sumatra killing nearly 1,200 people and destroying over250,000 houses.

Country information: The Maldives is a chain o more than 1,100 islands in

the Indian Ocean, separated into 26 atolls with a land surace area o less

than 300km

2

, making it one o the smallest and most disparate countries inthe world. Situated o the tip o the Indian sub-continent, the Maldives lies

about 700km south-west o Sri Lanka. While the Maldives is renowned or

the beauty o its tropical islands, and is a popular holiday destination, lie

is dominated by the ocean and is extremely vulnerable to natural disasters.

Most o the islands only stand 1.5m about sea level, so any change in sea

conditions can have a massive impact on the lie o the country. Recently,

the threatened impact o climate change led the Maldivian Government to

hold an underwater Cabinet meeting to highlight the potentially catastrophic

impact o even a small increase in sea levels.

Impact of the Tsunami: The Tsunami crashed into the low lying islandso the Maldives around 12 noon on 26th December 2004, completely

inundating 73 o the 199 inhabited islands. While the loss o lie was

thankully lower than in many surrounding countries, the waves swept

across the island nation destroying homes, businesses and inrastructure

and displacing a large proportion o the 300,000 inhabitants. Along with

Indonesia and Sri Lanka, the Maldives was one o the countries worst

aected by the Tsunami. It is estimated that the damage caused equated

to over 60% o the countrys GDP and one in every ten persons was

displaced translating to more people per capita than in any other

aected country.

Irish Red Cross response: Due to the large scale destruction o vital

community inrastructure, the international Red Cross Red Crescent

Movement undertook a co-ordinated approach to rebuilding, not just thehouses which had been destroyed but also the community inrastructure

and social networks which had been so severely impacted. The Irish Red

Cross took an active part in this rebuilding through unding the construction

o entirely new sewerage systems on three islands (Dh.Kudahuvadhoo,

K.Maaushi and K.Guraidhoo).

In partnership with the International Federation o Red Cross and Red

Crescent Societies (IFRC), the Irish Red Cross sewer system linked into an

American Red Cross unded project aimed at upgrading and replacing

household septic tanks on these three islands. By taking this co-ordinated

approach, the communities on the three islands have been ensured cleanand sae water, and the natural environment has been improved dramatically

as raw sewage is no longer being pumped into the surrounding waters.

In addition to providing overe4.4 million in unding to the IFRC or

this project, between 2005 and 2008, three Irish Red Cross Delegates

were seconded to the IFRC to provide expert advice and assistance on

construction, IT and communications related matters.

The Irish Red Cross continues to be actively engaged in the Maldives,

with an Irish Red Cross Delegate becoming the Head o Delegation or

the International Federation o Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. During2011, Irish Red Cross is unding a three year project promoting cultures o

non-violence and child protection in local communities in the Maldives.

Water, Sanitation and Community Construction

Community Sewerage Systems:The old system o sewage outall on Maaushi Island(top left) pumped raw sewage straight into the sea. The Irish Red Cross undedsewage system was built to collect wastewater rom houses and community buildingsand discharge the efuent saely beyond the lagoon. This prevents pollution o thegroundwater, and ensures disposal o wastewater in an environmentally sae manner,while also improving the health o the local populations who live and work so closelyto the sea.

Despite being 99% water, and vulnerable to rising sea levels, the Maldives is chronically short o reshwater. People rely on rainwater and the limited groundwater trapped beneath the islands. However,

the Tsunami ruined the groundwater supplies, so the International Red Cross and Red CrescentMovement developed a comprehensive water programme, including building 15 supplementary watersystems on the islands in most need, and installed over 100,000 rainwater harvesting tanks.

Country information: Sri Lanka has always played an important strategic

role in the Indian Ocean, and with 1,340km o coastline large portions o the

country have a direct connection with the sea. Sri Lanka is a similar size to

Ireland, but has a population ve times larger at over 20 million inhabitants,

many o whom live in coastal areas. For much o the past 30 years, the island

was gripped by a vicious civil war between the Government and the Liberation

Tigers o Tamil Elam (LTTE).

Impact of the Tsunami: Due to the shape o Sri Lanka and the way the

Tsunami spread out across the Indian Ocean, the waves hit not just the east

coast but swirled around the top and bottom o the island. The destruction

caused was particularly bad in the eastern Districts o Trincomalee, Batticaloa

and Ampara, the western Districts o Galle and Kalutara, and the northern

Districts o Jana and Mullaittivu.

Two key actors compounded the eects o the Tsunami in Sri Lanka. First o

all, the wide extent o coastline hit meant that the relie eort had to cover

an extremely large geographic area. Secondly, the civil war between the

Government and the LTTE in the northern and eastern parts o the country was

ongoing rom the time o the Tsunami until mid-2009 making relie operations

in those areas particularly dicult.

Irish Red Cross response: The Red Cross appeal or Sri Lanka highlighted the

urgent need to rebuild vital amily and community inrastructure, rom housing

and health acilities to schools and livelihoods. Thereore, in partnership with

the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society and the International Red Cross Red Crescent

Movement, the Irish Red Cross undertook programmes in our o the Districts

hit hardest by the Tsunami:

Colombo: Massive displacement o people into the capital created a

need to strengthen temporary and permanent acilities, such as shelters

and schools.

Kalutara: The Irish Red Cross built apartments or nearly 300 people and a

school in Kalutara town, a maternity clinic in Panadura, and provided

assistance to over 1,000 people to restart their livelihoods.

Ampara: Through innovative partnerships, such as the Galway-Sri Lanka

Project, the Irish Red Cross helped to rebuild 250 homes, one hospital,

a water supply and distribution system or over 6,000 people, a water

supply network or the main District hospital and provided livelihoods

assistance to over 8,000 people. Batticaloa: Through a co-ordinated approach to help rebuild

communities, the Irish Red Cross built three hospitals, over 700 homes

and provided livelihoods assistance to nearly 1,500 people.

While the Irish Red Cross nalised its direct activities in Sri Lanka in June

2009, we continue to support the work o the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society

and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement through unding

and provision o Irish Red Cross Delegates in Sri Lanka or our Red Cross

partners. Massive humanitarian needs remain in the north o the country not

only because o the Tsunami but also due to 30 years o confict. The Irish Red

Cross thereore continues to support these communities as they resettle back in

their communities.

o the key priorities or the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement. Following an agreement inearly 2005 between the Ministry o Health and the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement, theIrish Red Cross committed to rebuild health acilities in parts o the country worst aectedby the Tsunami. In the town o Panadura, the local hospital provided only restricted servicesor mothers and children. Working with the medical sta, the Irish Red Cross constructed adedicated maternity clinic or the hospital that will provide pre- and post-natal care or up to10,000 women per year.

Skills Training: In addition to building homes in Kalutara or thosedisplaced by the Tsunami, the Irish Red Cross implemented a range

o skills training and economic activities programmes. Working withthe local Kalutara Branch o the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society, the IrishRed Cross unded the development o a computer lab to provide skillstraining or local youths to assist them in obtaining employment. Thiswas complemented by a programme or over 200 amilies to replaceequipment they lost in the Tsunami. By providing sewing machines,bicycles, carpentry and masonry equipment, ood production and cashgrants or small-scale businesses, these amilies were able to earn moneyand get back onto their eet.

As a result oexcellent local knowledge, the Galway-Sri Lanka Project, led by Noel Coughlan and Savithri Senaratne, was able to complete the rst permanent houses in Ampara District orTsunami survivors. By the end o the multi-year partnership, the Irish Red Cross and Galway-Sri Lanka Project had assisted the communities o Karativu, Nindavur and Weeragodato rebuild 250 houses, 5 pre-schools, 2 community centres and provided much needed economic assistance and training.

Pottuvil Water Project:Access to clean and sae water is a prerequisite or healthy communities. One o the deadliest and most insidiouseects o the Tsunami was the contamination o groundwater and wells with seawater. So even i people had survived the Tsunami itsel,because large sections o the countrys coastal regions were inundated with salt water, their sources o drinking water were destroyed.

To help remedy this, ater the initial emergency stage o the recovery operations, the Irish Red Cross developed several large-scalewater and sanitation programmes to ensure that sae water was available or communities aected by the Tsunami. Irish Red Crosssta, including Wardell Eastwood (bottom left)and Nikhil Khanna (top left), successully completed a project in Pottuvil which

Kallar District Hospital:This hospital in Batticaloa town was in a terrible state o repair when the Irish Red Cross rst visited in early 2005. The impact o the Tsunami on theregion was severe, but this was compounded by ghting between the Tamil Tigers and the Government. The Irish Red Cross worked in Batticaloa District throughout the confict,but had to limit activities at various times to ensure the saety o sta. Ater a long and close relationship with the medical sta in Kallar Hospital, a new two-story, 80-bed hospital

was built by the Irish Red Cross which included a paediatric ward, maternal health ward, doctors accommodation and the reurbishment o the old hospital.
