The purpose of the meeting was to assess progress towards the establishment and implementation of the interim Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System and to advance the development of a regional system that is scheduled to be adopted in June. Donors have already provided approximately $8 million to establish the early warning system by the end of 2006. • From June 13 to 14 in Jakarta, OCHA will hold a regional “Lessons Learned and Best Practices” Workshop to discuss the December 26 earthquake and tsunami. This workshop will be preceded in May and June by country specific workshops in Maldives, Thailand, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. Earthquake in Indian Ocean • According to a USAID/OFDA Program Officer in Indonesia, four weeks after the March 28 earthquake that struck near the island of Nias, the focus of the relief efforts has shifted to ensuring the provision of food, clean water, shelter, and primary health care for affected populations. The U.N. World Food Program (WFP) estimated that the earthquake displaced 15,000 families in Nias. About half of these families are now living with host families, but other internally displaced persons (IDPs) have fled to the hills or are sleeping in tents. • On April 20, a WFP vessel arrived in Simeulue carrying 360 metric tons (MT) of food. Warehousing of food items continues to be problematic as existing buildings are structurally unsafe. During the week of May 2, WFP will construct rubhalls for food storage in the new port area of Kolok Baru.

President Bush’s supplemental budget request to Congress was for $950 million. The value of assistance provided by the U.S. Department of Defense is not included in this figure.
Indian Ocean Earthquakes and Tsunamis– May 6, 2005
•
On April 30, the U.S. Navy hospital ship USNS Mercy departed the coast of Nias after 25 days of providing humanitarian assistance to victims of the March 28 earthquake. As the only Level Three trauma hospital in the vicinity of Nias, Mercy helicopters transported 94 of the most seriously injured and ill patients to the ship, and doctors and medical staff performed 123 surgeries and 19,311 medical procedures on those injured during the earthquake. Indonesia Update • On April 24, the Government of the Republic of Indonesia (GORI) authorized two-week visa extensions to relief workers operating in Aceh and North Sumatra provinces. During the 14-day time period, the GORI will review reports prepared by humanitarian organizations operating in these areas in order to improve coordination, minimize duplication, and to assess whether the role of these organizations is appropriate for the recovery and reconstruction process. • According to OCHA, IDPs are returning to their place of origin in increasing numbers and erecting temporary structures as they are afraid to lose their right of ownership or use of the land. • On April 30, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono appointed representatives to the Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Executing Agency to oversee the reconstruction of Aceh Province. The GORI developed and distributed a reconstruction Master Plan that is available at www.e-Aceh.org, a multi-donor sponsored site, including support from USAID. • From April 25-27, the GORI hosted an international conference in Jakarta on transparency and accountability in auditing tsunami relief and disaster assistance funds. USAID provided technical assistance to Indonesia’s Supreme Audit Agency to strengthen its role in the oversight of funds. Sri Lanka Update • Organizations involved in the transitional shelter sector countrywide continue to encounter obstacles to shelter construction including the lack of available materials; delays in the allocation and identification of suitable land for the construction of transitional shelters; restrictions due to the coastal buffer zone; reluctance of tsunami-affected residents to engage in reconstruction or accept transitional shelters due to fear of losing Government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) entitlements for damaged property; and the application of value added taxes on the purchase of local materials. The situation in the transitional housing sector varies widely from location to location, but despite the obstacles, organizations continue to build shelters for displaced persons. • According to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), as of April 21, partners in the shelter sector have constructed a total of 12,000 transitional shelters in tsunami-affected areas of Sri Lanka. An additional 7,000 transitional shelters are in the process of being constructed, and organizations have pledged to build 65,000 shelters, according to UNHCR. • USAID/OFDA implementing partners involved in psychological and social assistance continue to assist targeted communities with activities and information designed to foster emotional recovery. Save the Children/U.K. (SC/UK) and Christian Children’s Fund (CCF) have established more than 50 “child-friendly spaces” in camps and transitional shelter communities where children can engage in safe and supervised guided activities designed to promote recovery. USAID/OFDA implementing partner the American Center for International Labor has provided information to raise awareness of human trafficking to more than 10,000 tsunami-affected people. • USAID/OFDA staff in Sri Lanka report that non-government organization (NGO)-sponsored clean-up projects are ending in eastern Sri Lanka, although some cash-for-work programs focusing on removing remaining debris will continue. • On April 19, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia visited Sri Lanka to observe USAID/OFDA-funded programs, including transitional shelters and clean-up activities. India Update • USAID/India reported that on March 30, the government of Tamil Nadu (GOTN) issued guidelines for a rehabilitation program involving the reconstruction of houses affected by the tsunami. Owners of damaged or destroyed houses that were built before 1991 and are within 500 meters of the shoreline will be allowed to repair their houses or move at government expense. • On April 6, the GOTN announced a new disaster management policy that will focus on reducing the vulnerabilities of communities by establishing a disaster management authority. The GOTN will involve communities in the plans and programs. • The Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved a $200 million loan and grant assistance package to help the Government of India restore livelihoods and rehabilitate and reconstruct damaged infrastructure in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. According to the ADB, the effects of the tsunami affected the livelihoods of almost half a million families in these two states. Maldives Update • According to OCHA, a national “Lessons Learned” Workshop is scheduled to take place in Male in the near future to include Government of the Republic of Maldives (GORM) representatives at the central and atoll level, U.N. agencies, bilateral donors, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), and national and international NGOs. The purpose of the workshop will be to review all aspects of the national and international response to the tsunami to enable national authorities to improve response coordination in disaster situations. • The GORM issued a statement on April 27 stating that the provision of safe drinking water and electricity remains the biggest challenge to ongoing relief efforts in Maldives.
Indian Ocean Earthquakes and Tsunamis– May 6, 2005
Somalia Update • On April 7, OCHA reported that emergency needs in tsunami-affected areas of Somalia have largely been met, but poor road conditions remain a challenge for access to tsunami-affected areas. • In March, WFP delivered approximately 500 MT of food to 5,685 beneficiaries in the districts of Iskushuban, Beyla, Hafun, Jarriban, and Eyl. The U.N. Children’s Fund (UNICEF) also distributed emergency relief items including blankets, fishing nets, mosquito nets, tents, Hijab clothes, and water gourds in Hafun. USG ASSISTANCE USAID Regional Response • As the transition from relief to recovery continues, USAID/OFDA program officers remain in tsunami-affected countries and are focusing on monitoring USAID/OFDA's grant portfolio, coordinating with other donors, and transitioning activities to USAID Missions. USAID Missions in Indonesia and Sri Lanka are advancing planning for follow-on private voluntary organization (PVO) projects and for large-scale infrastructure projects. Solicitation notices are posted at www.fbo.gov and www.fedgrants.gov. Indonesia • To date, the USG has provided more than $52.2 million in emergency food assistance, relief supplies, shelter, water and sanitation, health, livelihoods recovery, psychological and social support, logistics and coordination, and rehabilitation activities for affected communities in Indonesia. • In early April, in response to the March 28 earthquake on the islands of Nias and Simeulue, USAID/OFDA provided $585,000 to International Medical Corps (IMC) for activities in the health sector. • In April, USAID/ANE provided $733,590 in office equipment to the provincial and city administration in Aceh Province to replace equipment damaged by the tsunami and to assist the local government reestablish operations. Sri Lanka • To date, the USG has provided more than $65.2 million in emergency food assistance, relief supplies, shelter, water and sanitation, health, livelihoods recovery, psychological and social support, protection and anti-trafficking, logistics and coordination, and cleanup and rehabilitation activities for affected communities in Sri Lanka. USAID/OFDA-funded cashfor-work and micro-finance programs are fully operational. USAID/OFDA personnel in Sri Lanka are now focusing on program monitoring and evaluation and ongoing situational assessments. • The USAID/OFDA-funded program in livelihoods restoration (REVIVE) has extended strengthening grants and micofinance assistance to Sri Lanka’s leading non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in tsunami-affected areas. REVIVE’s outreach efforts are now turning toward strengthening micro enterprises and employment generation, particularly in construction trades and tourism-related activities. These initiatives bode well for REVIVE’s eventual integration into the USAID Mission’s mainstream workforce development under the current five-year Country Strategic Plan. India • To date, the USG has provided more than $7.2 million for shelter, water and sanitation, cleanup and rehabilitation, education, and cash-for-work activities for tsunami-affected residents. During the transition to the recovery phase, USAID/India will oversee USAID/OFDA-funded programs, and USAID/OFDA and USAID/India will share responsibility for monitoring. • In April, USAID/ANE provided an additional $3 million to the U.N. Development Program, (UNDP), International City Manager’s Association (ICMA), EXNORA, Catholic Relief Services (CRS), and Project Concern International (PCS) for activities such as community-based disaster preparedness, U.S. and Indian city-to-city programs, improvement and maintenance of temporary shelters, and anti-trafficking activities in Tamil Nadu. Department of Defense (DOD) Humanitarian Assistance • As of February 14, Combined Support Force 536 ceased operations in the tsunami-affected nations. U.S. military personnel were involved in delivering more than 24.5 million pounds of relief supplies and equipment to the region. The U.S. military delivered a total of 9,487,681 pounds of relief supplies to the governments of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and other affected nations. BACKGROUND • A magnitude 9.0 earthquake on December 26, off the west coast of Northern Sumatra, Indonesia, triggered massive tsunamis that affected several countries throughout South and Southeast Asia, as well as Somalia, Tanzania, Kenya, and the Seychelles in East Africa. Aftershocks from the December 26 earthquake continue to occur in the region. • Based on initial findings of USG assessment teams and on the recommendation of Secretary of State Colin Powell and USAID Administrator Andrew Natsios, on December 31, President George W. Bush committed $350 million toward earthquake and tsunami relief and recovery efforts. Dollar amounts in this Fact Sheet are part of the total pledge of $350 million and refer to specific funding actions that have been committed and programmed. • On February 9, President Bush announced that he is seeking $950 million as part of the supplemental appropriations request to support the rehabilitation and reconstruction of areas devastated by the Indian Ocean tsunami and to cover the

costs of relief efforts to date. This amount includes an additional $600 million above the President’s initial commitment of $350 million. USAID REGIONAL HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE TO ASIA TOTAL USG HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE $140,353,928

FURTHER INFORMATION ON USG RESPONSE More detailed information on USG assistance already provided, including DOD resources, in response to the disaster may be found in previous USAID/OFDA Fact Sheets: http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/humanitarian_assistance/disaster_assistance/countries/indian_ocean/et_index.html PUBLIC DONATION INFORMATION
Making a Donation to Relief Efforts • The most effective way people can assist relief efforts is by making cash contributions to humanitarian organizations that are conducting relief operations.
Indian Ocean Earthquakes and Tsunamis– May 6, 2005
For a list of humanitarian organizations accepting donations for South Asia relief operations, please see “Tsunami Relief” at www.usaid.gov or www.usafreedomcorps.gov. Or call the Center for International Disaster Information at (703) 276-1914. • USAID encourages cash donations because they allow aid professionals to procure the exact items needed (often in the affected region); reduce the burden on scarce resources (such as transportation routes, staff time, warehouse space, etc); can be transferred very quickly and without transportation costs; support the economy of the disaster-stricken region; and ensure culturally, dietary, and environmentally appropriate assistance. Additional Information • Information on making effective donations can be found on the following websites: o USAID: www.usaid.gov, Keyword: Donations o The Center for International Disaster Information: www.cidi.org o InterAction: “Guide to Appropriate Giving” at www.interaction.org • Information on choosing a charity to support can be found on the following websites: o Better Business Bureau: www.give.org o GuideStar (A National Database of Nonprofit Organizations): www.guidestar.org o The American Institute of Philanthropy: www.charitywatch.org o Charity Navigator: www.charitynavigator.org • Information on relief activities of the humanitarian community can be found at www.reliefweb.int.
