Public Health and Tsunamis
The single most critical issue post-disaster, as it turns out, has been that of clean water. This is not a new concern; for centuries clean water has been perhaps
the issue affecting public health. (With the possible exception of overcrowding and bubonic plague.) Think of polio, cholera and any number of other diseases. I Googled a website for you
here with a great deal of info about clean water and how it routinely affects public health around the world.
Donate if you can. It makes a huge difference. (Just on general principles, I would recommend
Doctors Without Borders - they do good work.)
