Information on the December 26 Tsunami
(It has been identified that some children in areas affected by the tsunami have no information on 'why the sea came over the land'. This lack of information means that many children continue to feel unsafe whilst living in coastal areas. The following documents are offered as tools with which to initiate discussions with children - to share information and address their fears.
