Tsunami Introduction SIGNIFICANCE The deadliest natural disaster caused by the tsunami generated from an undersea earthquake on 26th December, 2004 at 7:58:53 local time in the Indian Ocean has shaken up the world. The waves generated were 15mts in height and were of north-south orientation and their greatest strength of the tsunami waves was in the east-west direction. The tsunami devastated the shores of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, India and other Countries. This Natural Disaster was a rare event. It was followed by immediate impact and delayed shocks. GLOBAL SCENARIO This titanic tsunami is historical as one of the natural calamities of the modern times. More than 2, 00,000 lives across 12 countries and millions rendered homeless with many orphans, women became widows & many families out in single sweep. INDIAN SCENARIO In India the tsunami severely affected the coastal of Southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Pondichery and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Tsunami left 10,749 people dead over 5640 missing and made 1000’s of families destitute and homeless. Those who survived were left traumatized and psychologically shocked having lost their loved ones and positions. The fishing communities were the hardest hit as they lost their property and positions as they lost their livelihood and source of income. The very term tsunami was new thing for us; very uncommon perhaps this sort of disaster occurred way back 50 years. AP SCENARIO AP death toll was 200. All the districts along the coastline were affected. The loss of human life is less when compared to any other state but the damage is in higher side.  FISHER COMMUNITY The most affected people in Andhra Pradesh were the fishermen, who earn meager income by fishing. The boats, fishing nets were completely damaged. The significant feature of fishermen community is that they always sheltered themselves in and around the seashores. Sea is everything for them. They consider it as Goddess and they feel that they cannot be separated from their lives. They worship the sea, venture into the sea, their livelihood is sea and their entire life is sea. Even when they fail to fish at times they are never disappointed or distress. Even a small child hangs around the sea like a play mate. These folks are very innocent ignorant of outside happenings, they are confined to sea and seashores, fishing and marketing.  The fishermen remind all us of the Gospel wherein Jesus ask them to “follow”, immediately they left their profession and followed him.” This shows their innocence and humbleness.
