dc.description.abstractThe >M9 earthquake of 26 December 2004 (26/12) that generated devastated tsunami was probably occurred by a combination of three tectonic movements- dip-slip at Sunda trench, strike-slip along the boundary between India and Australian plates, and uplift of western Burma plate. Accepting the fact that natural hazards can hardly be stopped or moderated, one may argue that instead of costly instrumentation with uncertain return, ecologically friendly green and natural measures may be adopted including increase in the ‘buffer zone’. Such adaptation is the key to modern coastal management. Moreover, to do away with taken-by-surprise attitudes, a highly trained professional rapid action force with required instrumentation and logistics should be formed to reach relief within first 30 minutes anywhere in the country.
