This report, from the Office of the Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Tsunami Recovery, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, documents the status of the recovery effort at two years after the occurrence of the earthquake off the coast of Sumatra on December 26, 2004 and the tsunami it triggered.
This report attempts to capture some of the key lessons taught by the tsunami recovery process, as experienced by the United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Tsunami Recovery, William J. Clinton.
The tsunami left an overwhelming path of destruction in its wake. More than 230,000 people lost their lives, some 400,000homes wee reduced to rubble, and the livelihoods of as many as five million people were thrown into jeopardy.
