2 Background The Tsunami waves triggered off by the massive earthquake that struck Sumatra (Indonesia) on 26 th December 2004 left over 270,000 people dead and millions affected. The countries hit are on the rim of the Indian Ocean (India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Indonesia and Thailand). In India over 10,749 lives were lost and thousands of people were left homeless along the 2000 km coastline (Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Pondicherry (Union Territory) and Andaman & Nicobar islands). The Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS) at NHQ along with its branches in the affected states responded effectively by mobilizing local resources (financial and volunteers) to provide food and basic health care to the affected population. The impact of Tsunami Tamil Nadu A three-member assessment team comprised of the Secretary General (IRCS) the Joint Secretary (IRCS) and the Federation disaster management (DM) delegate reached Nagapattinam (Tamil Nadu) on December 27 th. The NDRT (national disaster response team) was deployed on 30th December to carry out a comprehensive sectoral and needs assessment of the affected population in
3 Tamil Nadu.

Livelihood & Rehabilitation The IRCS has finalized a Country Strategy & Operational Framework (CSOF) for the short term recovery (focusing on livelihood) and medium to long term phase focusing mainly on rehabilitation and branch development in the affected states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh. The CSOF was finalized after the Rehabilitation & Reconstruction Meeting held in Chennai from 27 th January to 29th January The purpose of this meeting was to hold discussions with the affected state & district branches including PNS s and the Federation. A consensus was reached that after the short term recovery phase a detailed indepth and multi-sectoral technical assessment will follow for the long term recovery phase. In addition to the short and long-term needs, the Indian Red Cross has prioritized the replenishment of 30,000 as well as pre-positioning of 20,000 family packs of non-food items along with the procurement of 20,000 family tents for further needs as disaster preparedness (DP) stock for future response.
