The Sumatra Earthquake of December 26, 2004, and the tsunamis that it generated, were events of unprecedented magnitude. Because of the number of populated areas that were exposed to the disaster, the immediate and long term effects of the tsunamis are being considered as one of the most significant in the history of mankind. This post-tsunami field campaign, undertaken in some of the hardest hit areas in southwestern Thailand, presented the research team with the unique opportunity to collect perishable damage data, with the aim of increasing the effectiveness of post-disaster damage assessment activities.
